THE ULTIMATE HANDYMAN

Guide to

GARAGE CONVERSIONS

Overview

Written with the homeowner in mind this guide aims to provide a basic knowledge of what to expect when undertaking a garage conversion (or similar) project, with advice on obtaining planning permission, current (at time of writing) rules and regulations along with tips on how to get round the likely problems encountered. As there could be an infinite combination of factors depending on the existing and proposed construction, it does not attempt to answer all possible questions, merely to advise on the most common problems associated with this type of build. Upon undertaking such a project the homeowner would be well advised to source the services of qualified local tradesmen for any major or highly skilled works although a large proportion of the works required could well be undertaken by a competent diy enthusiast.
