Sale has a huge number of homes with a garage that hasn't seen a car in years — inter-war semis and detached family homes in Sale Moor, Brooklands and Ashton upon Mersey, with garages that are often too narrow for a modern car. If yours is full of boxes, bikes and things you'd forgotten about, a garage conversion is the quickest and most cost-effective way to add a proper room to your home without the upheaval of moving or the cost of an extension.
Our Sale team handles the whole project from the first survey to the completion certificate. We remove the garage door and build an insulated, brick-matched infill wall, raise and insulate the floor, dry-line and insulate the walls and ceiling, fit new electrics, heating and windows, then plaster, floor and decorate to match the rest of your house. Every stage is signed off by Trafford Council Building Control, so your new room is legal, warm and ready to be counted as living space when you come to sell.
Whether you need a bedroom for a growing family, a quiet home office , a gym , a playroom , a utility room or a self-contained annexe for a relative, we'll design the space around how you actually live. We also cover Stretford, Chorlton, Urmston, Altrincham, Wythenshawe, Didsbury and the surrounding villages.
Whatever room your Sale home is missing, there's a good chance it's sitting behind your garage door. These are the conversions we're asked for most.
An extra bedroom for a growing family, a teenager who needs their own space, or a guest room with an en-suite. The most popular conversion we do.
Bedroom conversionsA quiet, insulated workspace away from the kitchen table, with proper lighting, power and data points so working from home actually works.
Home office conversionsSelf-contained living for an elderly parent, an adult child or a lodger — with kitchenette, shower room and its own entrance where possible.
Annexe conversionsReinforced rubber flooring, ventilation, mirrors and plenty of sockets — a gym you'll use because it's twenty steps from the kettle.
Home gym conversionsGive the kids somewhere to spread out and reclaim your living room. Warm floors, safe electrics and easy-clean finishes as standard.
Playroom conversionsMove the washer, dryer, boots and dog beds out of the kitchen. Plumbing, drainage and storage designed in from the start.
Utility room conversionsGarage conversions are all we do, so we've solved every awkward floor level, damp slab and undersized lintel that Sale's housing stock can throw at us.

The questions we hear most often on first visits around Sale. Have another? See the full FAQ or give us a call on 0161 985 0605 .
Usually not. Converting an attached garage into a habitable room is normally permitted development, so most Sale homeowners don't need a planning application. You will need one if your home is listed, in a conservation area, has had permitted development rights removed (common on newer estates) or if you're converting a detached garage into separate accommodation. We check with Trafford Council on your behalf before any work starts.
Yes — every garage conversion must comply with Building Regulations for structure, damp-proofing, insulation, ventilation, fire safety and electrics. We submit the Building Notice to Trafford Council Building Control, arrange the inspections and make sure you receive the completion certificate you'll need when you sell.
Most single garage conversions in Sale cost between £8,000 and £15,000 depending on the room type, the condition of the existing garage and whether plumbing is needed. Double garages, annexes and conversions with en-suites cost more. Your quote is fixed-price and itemised, so you know exactly what you're paying for.
A typical single garage conversion takes two to three weeks on site. Larger projects such as double garage conversions or annexes with kitchens and bathrooms usually take four to six weeks. We agree a programme with you before we start and keep disruption to a minimum.

A well-built garage conversion generally adds more value than it costs, because it turns dead space into an extra bedroom, office or living room. In Sale, where family homes with an unused garage are common, buyers consistently pay more for the additional usable floor area — and a proper Building Regulations certificate makes the sale straightforward.
