Garage conversions are the most affordable options to adding extra living space to your home...
Many homeowners in South Wales find themselves needing extra space but don’t want to sacrifice their garden to an extension. The solution might be right in front of them: a garage conversion. Very few people use their garages to store cars and converting an unused garage can add significant value to your property and greatly enhance your quality of life.
It’s a more affordable alternative to a large extension project, and with so many garages left cluttered and unused, a conversion can turn that neglected space into something truly valuable.
What do you want to convert your garage to?
Whether you’re in need of a home office, utility room, an additional bedroom, a playroom, or something completely bespoke, a First Class garage conversion can be the answer to needing more space in your South Wales home.
Office Garage Conversion
Remote work is here to stay, whether you’re doing it full time or just a few days a week. An office garage conversion can create the perfect environment, transforming unused space into a quiet and productive home office.
It will allow you to enjoy the benefits of working from home, while still maintaining a clear separation between work and home life. A truly practical way to improve your work environment and daily routine.
Kitchen or Utility Room Garage Conversion
Many homeowners dream of having an organised utility room, where the washing machine, tumble dryer, and cleaning supplies are neatly stored, creating a sense of order and control. A garage conversion offers the perfect opportunity to achieve that vision, turning your cluttered space into something functional and streamlined.
You could transform your garage into the utility room and kitchen you’ve always wanted. If your current kitchen isn’t quite up to scratch, we can design a completely streamlined layout that truly works for you.
Bedroom Garage Conversion
Requiring more bedrooms for guests and a growing family is one of the main reasons people choose to move to a new home. But by converting your garage into a bedroom, you can stay in your current home and avoid all the hassle of moving, while gaining the extra space you need.
By hiring us as your team, you’ll feel completely at ease in your new bedroom, enjoying a space that’s been designed for comfort. A well-executed bedroom garage conversion can blend seamlessly with the rest of your home, offering the privacy and cosiness you need.
Playroom Garage Conversion
Children’s toys can quickly clutter living areas, turning them into a hazard. Converting your garage into a dedicated playroom offers the perfect solution, creating a safe and fun space for your little ones to enjoy.
It’s a place where they can learn, grow, and create happy memories, while keeping the rest of your home tidy. With plenty of room for their toys and adventures, a playroom conversion is the ideal way to support their development.
Dining Room Garage Conversion
Not having the perfect dining space can make hosting friends and family feel restrictive. Let the First Class team turn your cluttered and unused garage into a custom-built, cost-effective dining area where you can entertain with ease.
The space will be designed for comfort and style. You and your guests will likely want to linger long after dinner, enjoying drinks, games, and good conversation.
Creating a design for your garage conversion...
Our team of experienced designers will work closely with you, taking the time to understand your ideas, requirements, and vision for your new space. From there, they’ll create custom designs that you’ll have full control over, ensuring every detail meets your expectations.
We believe in a collaborative approach, so you can make adjustments as needed, giving you confidence in the final plan. Only when you are completely satisfied do we move forward with your garage conversion.
Do you need planning permission for a garage conversion?
With many garage conversions – particularly with integral garages – most of the garage renovation work will be internal. The main external changes are likely to be upgrading the exterior brickwork, fascia and windows.
A typical garage renovation is often considered permitted development, so you won’t need formal planning consent. In some cases, though, such as in conservation areas, permitted development rights for a change of use from garage to residential may have been removed. For peace of mind, First Class Windows will do all the checks in regards planning permission and building regulation requirements.
Choosing windows for your garage conversion
Your windows are an integral part of your garage conversion, so choosing the right ones requires careful consideration. The team at First Class is here to assist you in selecting windows that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your new space but also ensure an abundance of natural light.
