Your dream space is just a conversion away!
In London, where interior space is limited and every square metre matters, a garage conversion is one of the smartest ways to unlock your home’s potential. Whether you're living in a compact terraced house or a larger suburban property, converting an underused garage into a practical room can significantly improve day-to-day living while adding long-term property value.
Common uses for a garage conversion in London include:
With high property prices in areas like Clapham, Hampstead, and Walthamstow, investing in a garage conversion provides a practical way to increase livable space without moving or extending.
At London Core Construction, we understand that no two homes are the same. That’s why we offer a wide range of conversion types to suit every property layout, structure, and requirement.
Types of garage conversions we specialise in:
We carry out a full structural assessment before proposing conversion ideas, ensuring that your project aligns with building control standards and your home’s design.
One of the most common questions we hear is: Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion in London?
In most cases, planning permission is not required. This is because garage conversions often fall under permitted development rights, particularly when:
However, certain situations do require planning approval, such as:
Every London borough has slightly different rules, so whether you're in Camden, Kensington & Chelsea, Croydon, or Enfield, our team manages the process from start to finish. We work directly with your local council, prepare and submit plans, and ensure full compliance with all required permissions.
We also guarantee compliance with UK Building Regulations, covering:
All work is signed off by certified building control inspectors, giving you peace of mind and full documentation for future property sales.
Garage conversion costs in London typically range from £18,000 to £35,000, depending on size, complexity, and the level of finish. While prices can vary, a garage conversion is often much more affordable than building a new extension or moving to a larger home.
Factors that influence garage conversion costs:
Return on investment (ROI):
A professionally finished garage conversion in London can increase property value by 10 to 20 percent, especially in high-demand boroughs where square footage drives pricing. This makes it a more cost-effective solution than loft conversions or new builds, with shorter project timelines and less disruption.
For a garage to be considered a habitable room, it must meet energy efficiency requirements as set out in Part L of the Building Regulations. At London Core Construction, we integrate sustainable design and smart technologies to ensure your converted space is warm, dry, and cost-effective to heat.
Our standard energy features include:
We also offer eco-conscious materials upon request, helping reduce your carbon footprint while improving indoor comfort. Whether you're converting your garage into a home gym or a guest suite, our goal is to create an energy-efficient, compliant, and enjoyable space for year-round use.
A garage conversion adds liveable square footage, which has a direct impact on a property’s market value. It also provides flexible rooms that cater to today’s lifestyle demands—such as home offices, guest rooms, or self-contained spaces for multigenerational living. When designed as a studio or annexe, it can even generate rental income.
Unlike full extensions or moving house, a garage conversion offers a more cost-effective, straightforward upgrade. In many parts of London, particularly Fulham, Dulwich, and Muswell Hill, buyers are more interested in usable interior space than traditional garages. With easy access to public transport and increasing acceptance of on-street parking, converting your garage can give your home a competitive edge and justify a higher asking price in a fast-moving market.

We begin every garage conversion with a face-to-face consultation at your London property. This first step is all about understanding how you want to use the space and what’s technically possible based on the existing structure. Whether you’re envisioning a home office, guest suite, or functional annexe, we’ll assess the condition of the garage, listen to your requirements, and walk you through the best approach. At this stage, we also outline likely planning or building control needs, ensuring everything is clear from the outset.
Once the vision is agreed, we move into the planning and design phase. This is where practical ideas become detailed plans. Our team works with experienced architects and planning consultants to create a layout that meets your needs and fits seamlessly with the rest of your home. We factor in natural light, insulation, access, storage, and finishes while aligning the design with London’s permitted development rules or preparing planning applications if required. All drawings and documentation are handled in-house to keep the process straightforward.
Before any building work starts, we organise everything needed behind the scenes. This includes booking building control inspections, ordering materials, scheduling our trusted trades, and ensuring your home is ready for construction. We put together a detailed timeline and logistics plan so that once the build begins, it runs smoothly with minimal disruption. This preparation stage also gives you a clear sense of what to expect during the works, both in terms of timing and daily site activity.
With preparation complete, we begin the physical transformation of your garage. Our construction team follows the agreed specifications with precision, managing everything from structural work and insulation to plumbing, electrics, and final finishes. We use trusted materials, comply with Part L and other building regulations, and keep the site clean and secure throughout. During this phase, we remain in close communication to ensure that the build progresses on time and reflects the vision you signed off.
As the build nears completion, we conduct a detailed inspection and make any necessary finishing touches. Once everything is signed off, we walk you through your new space to ensure you’re fully satisfied. We also provide you with the relevant building certificates and documentation for your records. After handover, we remain available for any follow-up questions or support, offering the reassurance that your garage conversion has been delivered to a high professional standard.
