As the first to recognise the potential for valuable living space amidst the clutter and dust of an unused garage, the Garage Conversion Company has carried out over 3000 garage conversions nationally, since 2002.Incredibly, most UK garages are too small to fit a regular saloon car, but they can so easily add much needed space and value with an extra bedroom, office, or even a home cinema or gym.Rob Thomas who owns the Garage Conversion Company franchise based in Stroud, Gloucestershire is having a busy time with customers requesting to convert all types of garages into a variety of uses including home offices, playrooms, and even 'Granny Annexes' for detached garages.Within the current economic climate, it makes sense to not only make the best use of this often under utilised space, but it also increases the value of a home. Estate Agents Knight Frank was recently quoted in the Sunday Times as saying 'a garage conversion can increase the value of a house by as much as 20%'.The majority of garages do not need planning permission to be converted and therefore, the long drawn-out procedure associated with building extensions can be avoided by simply converting the garage. The Garage Conversion Company is a one-stop-shop for the entire conversion process, and our craftsman and expert builders will endeavour to complete the full conversion in as little as 15 days.To find out more visit
