Some old paint pots, rusty tools, and boxes of forgotten things...
If you're not using your garage, it's probably become an extension to that spare kitchen drawer with all the menus and leads in. Only, here you can put bigger items that you might use one rainy day. But since then, it's all been sunny weather. The clutter is getting in your way, and you think it's time for a change.
Garage conversion are an inspired decision because the extension is already there. The building sits on your land waiting to be loved and occupied. You might have a specific purpose for your conversion, or you might just be looking for a way to add value to your home. Whatever you need it for, that's between you and your imagination.
The Good News About a Garage Conversion and Planning Permission is...
When considering almost any form of extension, you need planning permission. A painstaking process with so many forms that you might convinced just not to bother. But the garage is already a pre-existing part of your home. As long as you don't decide to extend it by half a mile into the garden you're golden.
You're not extending the building, so it's just about contacting your builder and creating that dreamspace that you have always craved. However if you're unsure, then the best thing to do is talk to one of the Northampton H2O team.
We just want you to have the best home possible.
Work, Play, or Relax in your Luxury Converted Garage
Garage Conversions have risen in popularity since the pandemic. People needed to set up offices away from the kids dealing with homeschooling. Since then remote work has become normal for many businesses. But it's not just about home offices and remote work, after all, "all work and no play makes jack a very dull boy". Why couldn't your garage be used for other things.
Northampton H2O understand that there are many reasons you would want extra space in your home. But just putting the right furniture in a cold garage isn't going to help you all year round. You need electrics, waterproofing, decent flooring, and to be energy efficient. There's no point having a D&D session in a garage if your players are all shivering. And nobody wants to do pilates in a space that drips when it rains.
Sometimes you need a Little Extra Living Space and Accessibility.
When Northampton H2O take on your project, we bring the entire toolbox. We bring our design heads, we bring superior craftsmanship, professionalism, and even our plumbing heads when needed.
So many garages are converted for convenience as opposed to luxury. Elderly family members have moved in, or there are mobility issues which require people to look at their homes in a different light. A garage conversion is much cheaper than moving house to accommodate someone's dignity and privacy. Rather than converting a master bathroom into a wetroom (which requires finding a way for the resident to still get upstairs), a converted garage can provide a small living space that still gives you access to the whole house.
Converting and extending into the garage is a great way to enlarge a kitchen and add extra space for an office for example and we handle everything from planning through to the final decorating. Converting the garage is also cheaper than moving house so that's a real bonus.
There's no limit for what you want to use the garage space for so it's about matching your vision to our building expertise and if you are using the garage to store gardening equipment we can build you a shed at the same time.
