Garage Conversions in Preston

Loads of Preston houses came with a garage that now just holds clutter. We turn them into proper rooms, a snug, office, playroom or extra bedroom. Whether it is an integral garage on a Broadgate semi or a detached one on a newer estate, we insulate, damp proof, fit new floors and windows, and blend the front so it reads as part of the house rather than a converted garage.

Building work in Preston

Preston homes cover a huge range. You get Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the city centre, Avenham and Frenchwood, along with solid bay fronted houses through Ashton-on-Ribble and Broadgate. The Larches and outer estates bring plenty of post war and modern builds. That mix means work here spans old brick, sash windows and lath and plaster through to cavity walls and newer layouts, so no two Preston jobs are quite the same.

Common questions

Garage Conversions in Preston, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion in Preston?

Most garage conversions in Preston that stay within the existing footprint fall under permitted development, though building regulations approval is required. If the property is in a conservation area this is checked first.

Will a converted garage in Preston be warm enough to use all year?

Yes. A proper conversion includes damp proofing, insulation in the floor, walls and ceiling, and heating, so the room is as comfortable as the rest of the house rather than a cold add on.

Do you cover the whole of Preston and nearby areas?

Yes. We are based in Broughton just north of the city, so we cover all of Preston including the City Centre, Avenham, Frenchwood, Broadgate, Ashton-on-Ribble and Larches. Being this close means quick call outs, easy site visits and no long travel charges added to your quote.

Do you work on older terraced houses in Preston?

Very often. A lot of Preston housing near the centre, Avenham and Frenchwood is Victorian and Edwardian terrace. We understand solid walls, sash windows, lath and plaster and older drainage, so we can renovate, extend or repair these homes properly while keeping the features worth saving.

Can you handle newer estate homes as well?

Absolutely. Out towards Larches and the outer estates the houses are mostly post war and modern builds with cavity walls and standard layouts. We do garage conversions, extensions, kitchens, bathrooms and repairs on these just as readily, matching modern materials and finishes to the existing property.
