Garage Converting and New Garage Building Folkestone
Our garage services cover both converting an existing garage and building a new one at your home in Folkestone
A garage conversion takes an existing attached or integral garage and transforms it into usable living space such as a bedroom, home office, utility room or annexe. This involves infilling the garage door opening with a new wall and window, raising and insulating the floor, insulating the walls and ceiling to Building Regulations standards, damp proofing, and installing heating, electrics and ventilation throughout.
A new garage build constructs a detached or attached structure entirely from the ground up, encompassing groundworks and a reinforced concrete base, brick or block construction, a flat or pitched roof, up and over or roller doors, along with full electrics and lighting. Both types of project are generally achievable under permitted development rights.
Under permitted development, a garage can reach up to 4 metres in height including the pitched roof, or 3 metres where the building sits within 2 metres of a boundary, meaning no planning permission is required in either case.
Alongside our garage building services, we also provide a comprehensive service for building extensions and support wall work across Folkestone.
