Garage conversions in Salford

Our Salford team converts attached and integral garages into proper rooms for homeowners across the M5, M6, M7 and M50 postcode area. Much of the housing here is everything from Victorian terraces in Langworthy and Seedley to 1960s semis in Claremont and Irlams o' th' Height and new-build estates near Salford Quays, and a lot of those garages have not had a car in them for years. Converting one gives you a warm, finished room without an extension and without moving.

We build four rooms: a bedroom, a living room, a home office or a gym. Every job in Salford starts with a free survey and a fixed-price itemised quote, and ends with a Building Regulations completion certificate from Salford City Council.

Where the work changes the structure, such as removing the garage door and building the new front wall, knocking through to the hallway or fitting a steel beam, we appoint a structural engineer and liaise with the Salford City Council Building Control inspector on your behalf. We book and attend every inspection. Read more in our guide to the process.

Garage conversion questions from Salford homeowners

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

Usually not. Converting an attached or integral garage without changing the footprint is normally permitted development. The exceptions include listed buildings, conservation areas, newer estates where permitted development rights were removed, and detached garages. We check with Salford City Council before any work starts.

Who deals with Building Control and the structural engineer in Salford?

We do. We submit the application to Salford City Council Building Control, appoint a structural engineer for any beams or openings, book and attend every inspection and hand you the completion certificate at the end.

How long does a garage conversion in Salford take?

A typical single garage takes two to three weeks on site. Knock-throughs, en-suites and larger garages take longer, and we agree the programme with you before we start.

How much does a garage conversion cost in Salford?

We quote after a free survey, because the price depends on your garage, the room you want and what the structure needs. The quote is itemised and fixed. Our cost guide explains what affects it.

Which areas around Salford do you cover?

The M5, M6, M7 and M50 postcode area and the surrounding neighbourhoods, including Eccles, Manchester, Swinton, Stretford, Prestwich. If you are further out, call and we will tell you which team covers you.
