Garage Conversions

Garage Conversions in Lewes, the Brighton and Hassocks Areas, and all Parts of East Sussex

Add space to your property, and increase its market resale value, by calling Foxtail Carpentry & Construction to discuss bespoke garage conversions. Converting the garage is one of the most cost-effective ways to generate habitable space. Most homeowners use a garage as an improvised storage area, not for its intended purpose. In fact, more than half of the drivers in the UK never use the garage for parking.

Garage conversions are a worthwhile form of investment and add up to 10% to the value of a property. The customer gains an adapted space for habitation, hobbies or relaxation and, if the build is a double-garage, we convert just half of the available floorspace if needed.

Our combined construction and carpentry company covers Brighton, our home location, and all areas in Hassocks, Lewes and East Sussex.

We also specialise in home extensions and loft extensions.

Consider how you would like your garage to be used and how the space will blend in with the current design of the home. Most customers in our trading area opt for garage conversions as their families grow, and adapt space to create additional bedrooms, extended kitchens or lounges, or to gain purpose-built spaces to pursue their passions.

To discuss your own ideas and aspirations, please call us today. Our conversion services can even be factored into a home renovation.

Consultations

Prior to designing garage conversions, we visit the property to hold an initial consultation. During this visit, we listen to your ideas and use your creative aspirations to inspire us. Foxtail Carpentry & Construction also discusses your budget, using the expected spend to set realistic objectives for each project but without exceeding it.

A consultation also gives you the chance to ask your own questions.

Surveys

While consulting with you, we measure the available space in garages and use our findings to produce floor plans and elevations, and to identify where structural alterations might be needed. We offer the combined services of builders and carpenters as well as a full range of associated trades for dealing with electrical and plumbing works.

We will also provide you with an estimate of the expected cost.

Design

Garage conversions are planned using 3D CAD software, which offers a virtual walkthrough of the proposed project so that you can make any changes to the specification at the earliest stage. Customers in the Brighton, Hassocks and Lewes areas, and those across the region, are intrinsic to the design process and are kept informed at all times.

We trade as partners, not just as a building and carpentry company.

Build

All garage conversions are undertaken in-house, and we oversee every project in a professional manner. Foxtail Carpentry & Construction works cleanly and tidily to minimise disruption. All trades involved in the job are assigned with care so that the home isn’t affected by the unnecessary movement of contractors who aren’t actually working.

This helps to keep costings and timelines under tight control.

So long as garage conversions stay within the footprint of the build and don’t increase the height beyond specific parameters, planning approval won’t be needed. Instead, the project will fall within your permitted development rights. Should local authority permissions be required, we will explain how to make an application so it has the best-possible chance of being approved by the planning department.

Our services in Brighton, Hassocks and Lewes, and in the East Sussex area, are always in high demand. This owes much to our adaptability and the professional manner in which we approach garage conversions.

The goal of our construction and carpentry company is to finish all garage conversions to exacting standards as just one team. Instead of having to manage different contractors from different businesses, the customer or client benefits from a practical, one-stop solution.

WE ALWAYS GO THE EXTRA MILE
