Completion
Once the work is complete, a building inspector will visit your home to ensure everything meets current building regulations. We only request the final payment when both you and the inspector are fully satisfied with the results.
At Fox Conversions, we’re proud to be a trusted garage conversion company serving homes across Essex. One of our recent projects in Romford involved transforming an attached garage in a timber-framed house into a spacious, multi-functional living area.
The client wanted to maximise the ground floor of their house by converting a disused double garage into a space that could serve as an extended office, additional living room, or even a playroom.
As garage conversion specialists, we knew this project would require a careful blend of structural know-how and precision carpentry — especially as it involved a timber-framed property.
Thanks to our in-house interior building skills, we were able to match finishes and materials, delivering a flawless transition between the old and new areas.
The newly converted space dramatically improved the home's layout. The client now enjoys:
By opening up the garage and extending it to the rear, we created a warm, usable space that adds real value to the property — both in function and resale potential.
This project showcases what we do best as a garage conversion company in Essex — combining smart design with solid craftsmanship. With over a decade of experience and a specialist focus on loft conversions in Essex along with garage conversions, we take care of everything from planning and steelwork to finishing touches.
From Romford to Southend or nearby and looking to create more space with a garage conversion, we’d love to help.
In most cases, planning permission is not required for a garage conversion as long as the work falls within permitted development rights. However, it is always recommended to check with your local planning authority to ensure compliance with regulations.
The time it takes to complete a garage conversion can vary depending on the size of the garage, the complexity of the project, and whether any structural changes are needed. On average, a garage conversion can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to complete.
Garage conversions have several benefits, including increasing the living space in your home, adding value to your property, and providing a versatile and functional space for various uses. Additionally, garage conversions are often more cost-effective than building an extension.
The cost of a garage conversion can vary depending on factors such as the size of the garage, the materials used, and the extent of the work required. On average, a garage conversion can cost anywhere from £8,000 to £30,000. It is advisable to obtain quotes from reputable builders to get an accurate estimate for your specific project.
We had a garage with a lot of exposed plumbing below the ceiling. Fox Conversions changed the plumbing so that the pipes were no longer below the ceiling and converted the garage into a lovely office space on budget and within the agreed timeframe.
Chris and his team converted our garage into a playroom / spare bedroom. We are extremely happy with the result. The work was carried out quickly and the team were conscientious and kept everything neat and tidy during the works.
