1st Direct Glazing can provide a complete service for converting storage rooms and garages into habitable living accommodation and specialise in providing a 'One Stop Service'We have the skills, knowledge and experience to be able to undertake all the work, arrange the initial conversion and building works, the finishing touches, second fixes and tidy up.
A Garage Conversion does not involve a change of use as such and UK Building Regulations will therefore only apply to the structural alterations involved and to any other building controlled works such as drainage. On many occasions a Garage Conversion requires little more than the infilling of the existing garage doorway with a suitable construction. This most often is largely made up of a window. Any infill of the garage will need to be supported by either foundations or suitable lintels. This is a structural alteration and as such requires building regulation approval.
We take particular care to ensure that suitable damp proof courses are incorporated into the garage conversion to prevent water ingress at the new window reveals and where the new infill abuts the existing walls. In some cases the garage already has cavity walling and the works are therefore substantially reduced. If however the existing garage has single leaf masonry walls with piers there will be additional work to try to improve both thermal insulation and weather resistance.
