Garage conversions
in Solihull and the surrounding areas
Turn your garage into the room your home is missing.
Ideas for your garage
Most garages end up as storage. Converted, the same space becomes a room you use every day.
Tell us what you have in mind
The room your home is missing is already there.
Why convert your garage
More room without moving
A spare bedroom, an office or a playroom, without the cost and upheaval of moving house.
Quicker than building out
The walls, roof and foundations are already there, so most single garages take two to four weeks on site.
It can add value
On a typical Solihull semi, a garage bedroom can add about £28,000 to £39,000, based on Nationwide's 2023 research and July 2026 Solihull house prices, before any effect of losing the garage itself.

Ask us a questionHow long does a garage conversion take?
Most single garage conversions take two to four weeks on site. A bedroom with an en-suite takes longer, around three to seven weeks, and an annexe can take eight to twelve. Ask how long yours will take when we visit.
What can I turn my garage into?
Almost any room: a bedroom, office, gym, playroom, utility room, a bigger kitchen or a self-contained annexe. Tell us what you have in mind and we will tell you what the space allows.
Can I keep part of the garage for storage?
Yes. A half conversion puts an insulated, fire-resisting wall across the garage, finishes the back as a room and keeps the front for storage.
Do I need drawings?
Not always. For a simple conversion, building control accepts a building notice, which needs no drawings. If you need planning permission, or the job is more involved, plans are drawn up first.
Do you cover my area?
We cover Solihull, Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield, Coventry and the towns of Warwickshire and north Worcestershire, from Stratford-upon-Avon to Bromsgrove. If you are on the edge of that, ask anyway.
Do you take on smaller jobs?
Yes. Not every garage needs a full conversion: a half-garage room, a utility space or a simpler finish can cost less. Tell us what you need and we will price it.
