PROPERTY:
Detached Unused Garage

Project Brief

Our clients, Samantha and Charlie, were referred to Ellis Carter Ltd by a fellow builder and approached us looking to transform their unused garage into a practical and functional living space.

With a new baby on the way, the couple wanted to create a dedicated home office within the garage conversion, allowing them to free up space inside the main house for a nursery. The existing garage had become little more than storage space, so the goal was to completely reconfigure the area into a comfortable, modern room that blended seamlessly with the rest of the property.

The project required structural alterations, insulation upgrades, new electrical works, and a full internal fit-out to create a warm and usable space suitable for everyday family life.

Scope Of Work

  • Full strip-out of the existing garage
  • Removal of the old roof structure
  • Raising internal ceiling height to 2.4 metres
  • New electrical installation throughout
  • Timber framing and insulation works
  • Creation of a new rear opening for patio doors
  • Installation of new EPDM roofing system
  • Plasterboarding and full plastering works
  • Installation of skirting boards and internal finishes
  • Full redecoration throughout
  • New laminate flooring installed

Every aspect of the project was managed and completed by our experienced team, ensuring the finished space was both practical and finished to a high standard.

The Results

The finished garage conversion has completely transformed the way the property functions for Samantha and Charlie. What was once an underused storage space has now become a modern and practical home office, allowing valuable space within the main house to be repurposed into a nursery for their growing family.

The finished room feels bright, spacious, and fully integrated with the rest of the home, while the upgraded insulation, roofing, and structural improvements ensure the space remains comfortable and energy efficient all year round.
