Garage Conversions, properly habitable.

Most South Wales garages are barely big enough for a modern car and end up as a damp store room. BBS Wales turns them into proper rooms, insulated, plastered, heated and lit, often for less than half the cost of an extension.

What's Included

Every part of the job, by one team.

Garage Conversions done end to end by BBS Wales. Eric runs the build, the same lads turn up each day, the room comes back finished, snagged and clean.

01.

Home Offices

A serious work-from-home space with proper insulation, broadband, sockets, lighting and a quiet door. The most popular conversion BBS Wales fits in Barry and Penarth.

02.

Home Gyms

Reinforced floor, dehumidified, mirror walls if you want them. Rubber sub-floor or LVT, decent lighting, proper extraction. Fits a power rack with room to lift.

03.

Playrooms & Snugs

A second sitting room or kids' den where the noise stays away from the main lounge. Carpet, soft lighting, in-ceiling speakers and a TV point.

04.

Granny Annexes

Small en-suite plus kitchenette in a detached garage, fully insulated and Building-Regs compliant. Independent heating and a separate front door if needed.

05.

Replacement Doors & Façade

Old up-and-over door swapped for a brick infill plus window, matched to the existing house. From the street it will not even look like it used to be a garage.

06.

Insulation & Heating

Floor, walls and ceiling insulated to current Building Regs. Underfloor heating or radiators on the existing gas circuit. Cold concrete box becomes a warm room.

FAQ

Common questions about garage conversions.

Straight answers Eric gives every week. If yours is not on the list, ring or message and you will get an honest reply.

Do I need planning permission to convert my garage?
Almost never if it is integral and you are not changing the front elevation. We always check the Vale or Cardiff planning portal before starting and tell you what, if anything, needs notifying.
Will it pass Building Regs as a habitable room?
Yes. BBS Wales builds every conversion to current habitable-room standards, insulation, fire safety, ventilation, electrics. Building Control sign-off at the end.
Can I keep half the garage as storage?
Yes. A part-conversion with a stud wall and door is common, you keep the front for tools and the bin store, and the back becomes a usable room.
How long does a garage conversion take?
Single garage to a finished room is typically 3 to 5 weeks. Add an en-suite or kitchenette and it stretches to 6 to 8 weeks. Eric will give you a written timeline.
What does it cost roughly?
A standard single-garage office in Barry usually lands between £14k and £22k all-in. A larger conversion with en-suite is £25k to £35k. Far cheaper per square metre than an extension.
