The Client is very pleased with the improvement of a 1st floor garage storage space. This is now an Office (or potential additional guest room).

The garage had an existing timber staircase with balustrades to the storage space. The floor area is now increased by extending it into the stairwell and changing the balustrades to a partition wall. Two additional partition walls are built under the horizontal roof timbers to create hidden storage areas.

To improve the energy efficiency, the roof is now insulated and the whole room plastered and decorated.

The Client is impressed with the finished work, resulting in another Project at the property – replacement of a kitchen.

The Client’s family are delighted with their new self-contained Annexe.

The conversion required Planning Permission and Building Control approval which the Client had already obtained from the Local Authority.

The work to be done included –

• Supply of water, electric and drainage, connected to the Clients main residence nearby,
• Insulation of walls internally with damp proofing measures;
• Addition of new roof window, uPVC windows and door, with blocking up of original garage door entrance,
• Internal works with partitioning, plastering, electrical work and plumbing,
• Fit out with kitchen and shower room,
• Final carpentry works for doors, skirtings, architraves and timber/laminate flooring.

The final layout includes a side entrance door to the lounge/kitchen area with a door to the bedroom and ensuite shower room. Approximate internal dimensions are 4.8m x 4.8m
