Step 1: Tell us about your project
A short form covers the essentials — a few details about the garage, roughly where it is, and the best way to reach you.
Step 2: One local installer is matched to your enquiry
Rather than being farmed out to a long list of businesses or sold on as a generic lead, your enquiry goes to just one local installer who covers your area.
Step 3: The installer contacts you directly
The installer will reach out to talk through the garage, what you're hoping for, and to set up a visit or a call. Everything from that point runs directly between you and them — this site isn't part of the conversation any further.
Step 4: A written quote follows, with no strings attached
A genuine written quote lays out the work involved, the finish, and anything touching building regulations or planning, so it's clear exactly what's on the table. Accepting it is entirely optional, and getting other quotes to compare is always an option.
What we'd suggest you check yourself
Before signing off on any work, check the installer's trading history and their insurance for this specific job, and confirm who's handling any planning or building control steps, including a party wall notice if the garage adjoins a neighbouring property. It's worth insisting on the full scope of work, the price, and what happens if plans change, all in writing, before a single tool comes out.
Frequently asked questions
Do you personally carry out garage conversions?+
No — this is a referral service. An independent local installer handles the actual conversion and deals with you directly from the first contact onward.
What's worth checking before I commit to a quote?+
Check the installer's trading history and their insurance for the job yourself, get the full spec and price down in writing, and be clear on who's dealing with any planning or party wall steps before work gets underway.
