Converting your garage into a business

We all constantly try to discover new ways of utilising the space we have in our home to maximise the efficiency of the space and one of the most effective ways is to convert the garage to a dedicated and private home working area or office.

Everything from an attic to a basement or a corner of the bedroom can be turned into a smart workspace. But for those looking to shape a dedicated and specifically designed home office or work area that is totally separate from the main living area, the garage offers a serious and inventive alternative.

Transforming the garage into a home office is something that demands the right planning and a bit of imagination. A spacious garage can act as much more than a home office or workplace. It can also be another living area or an informal recreational area.

To convert the garage into a home office, you need to start by ensuring the garage is actually usable for more permanent living. Think about the flooring and if it’s concrete, the use of floor tiles, carpet tiles or other soft, warm flooring surfaces to make the room feel comfortable all year round.

Once you have converted the garage into a more usable setting, it’s time to turn your attention to the style and practical layout of the room. Start with the fixtures, fittings and furniture.

The correct type of main and ambient lighting is vital in a home office or business. Garages can be filled with natural light by replacing the old garage door with translucent glass panels or sliding glass doors.

Had an external garage conversion by this company. Rick and the team were all polite and friendly. They kept in contact throughout the work with updates. All the work was completed to a high level at a reasonable price. Thank you once again. I’m really pleased with the conversion 👍🏻

Such a great company. Turned up on time, very polite and professional. Best of all, they did a fantastic job - they went above and beyond, even sourced a matching door for the storage room at the back of the garage and boxed in the fuse box. They spent half a day finishing off and cleaning up after the job and left everywhere clean & tidy. Would 100% recommend.

We had a double garage converted into living accommodation by the Northwest team. The standard of work was outstanding and we are absolutely delighted with the result. From start to finish we were kept informed and involved in all decisions and the tradesmen were true professionals. If you are considering using this team don’t think twice you won’t regret it.

Could not be happier with our double garage conversion by Rick and the team. All the lads so friendly and hard working, couldn’t have asked for anyone better to do the job.
Fast, efficient and super clean and tidy throughout and after the job. Found Rick by chance and we’re so happy we did. I wasn’t local to Rick either but they still travelled everyday to complete the work. Very good fair pricing. If you’re thinking of getting your garage converted don’t hesitate and get in touch with Rick or the team.

We used Garage Conversions North West to convert half of our double garage, and we’re absolutely delighted with the result. They created a fantastic new space that includes a bedroom, bathroom, and utility room, all finished to a very high standard. The whole team were friendly, professional, and respectful throughout the project, keeping everything clean and tidy and treating our property with care. Communication was great from start to finish, and the work was completed efficiently. We would highly recommend Garage Conversions North West to anyone considering a garage conversion.Easy five star!

I highly recommend Garage Conversions NW. We had a double garage converted into an office and single garage and were very impressed with the speed and quality of the transformation for a very competitive price. Communication from Rick and Troy was excellent and all trades were really nice and did a great job. Many thanks

Troy and the team have been exceptional for a second time. We were conscious of getting the correct brick match for an integrated garage and they got it spot on! Furthermore, their internal finishes were fantastic and helped out with extra requests of installing laminate flooring without any issues!

Had a single garage converted into a utility/ toilet/ home office.
Excellent service from start to finish and competitive pricing.
Troy, Rick, Phil, Clint and Charlie are a great team and have done a fantastic job on my garage conversion. They knew exactly what I wanted and delivered to a very high standard with minimal disruption (I work from home) and everything was kept clean and tidy. The work was completed within the expected timeframe even with the extra jobs I added like our custom built utility unit which is perfect for our small space. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with everything. The extra space has made a massive difference to our growing family. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a garage conversion.

Brilliant job from start to finish. Rick and the team were friendly and helpful throughout.
They made sure that we were happy with the job and no issues.

We converted our garage creating a door way into the garage from the house. Sectioning into 3 rooms- office/spare room, utility, and downstairs toilet/showerroom. With a loft hatched and boarded area for storage

Everything was built and fitted. Including laying the flooring, fitting the utility cupboards and the bathroom (we supplied). The only things not included was the tiling and painting.

As a female I was comfortable with all the workmen in the house and were all kind and considerate.

Everything was left clean and tidy everyday.

We are so happy with the space that has been created and the price charged. Thank you so much!
