Garage Conversions
If your garage is mostly storing things you never use, it’s the cheapest extra room in your house waiting to happen. Transform Living converts integral and attached garages across Northern Ireland into warm, usable living space – often for a fraction of the cost of extending.

What you can turn your
garage into
- An extra bedroom or guest room

- A snug, playroom or media room
- A utility room and downstairs WC
- A self-contained annexe (subject to approvals)
Done properly warm, dry
and compliant
A garage floor, walls and up-and-over door were never built for living in. We insulate throughout, install a proper damp-proof course, replace the garage door with a wall and window, and upgrade heating and electrics so the room feels like it was always part of the house.
Garage conversions are notifiable work under building control – see Building Control NI – and we manage that for you.

Watch out for damp
Garages are prone to damp, so getting the moisture control right is critical before you plaster and decorate. Where we find existing problems, our Damp Works Team treats them properly first – so you don’t end up with mould behind a brand-new wall.
Frequently asked questions
Is a garage conversion cheaper than an extension?
Usually, yes — the structure, roof and foundations already exist, so you’re mainly paying to insulate, finish and service the space. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to add a room.
Do garage conversions need building control approval?
Yes. Converting a garage into habitable space is notifiable work covering insulation, ventilation, fire safety and structure. We handle the application and certification for you.
Will I lose kerb appeal by removing the garage door?
Not when it’s done well. We match brickwork, render and window styles to the rest of your home so the conversion looks like original construction, not an afterthought.
