Garage Conversion, Solihull | Case Study

Before and after

After — completed work — The same view: bare brick and concrete, and the finished insulated room.

Before — the job as we found it — The same view: bare brick and concrete, and the finished insulated room.

The brief

A standard attached garage — bare brick, exposed roof, concrete floor, used for storage. The owners wanted a usable room off the house rather than a door into a cold space.

What we did

The old floor came out and was re-laid with insulation underneath. The garage door opening was blocked up and a new window formed. Walls were insulated, boarded and skimmed, the ceiling closed in, and the whole room first-fixed for lighting, sockets and heating before plastering. Last job was forming the opening through into the house.

The result

A room that reads as part of the house rather than a converted garage — which is mostly down to the floor level, the insulation and getting the opening in the right place.

Scope of works

Strip out and floor break-out
