If you’re running out of space at home, a garage conversion could be the answer. Many homeowners in Boroughbridge, Ripon, Knaresborough and surrounding areas are turning their unused garages into practical living areas. It’s a smart way to create more room without the cost or disruption of moving.
At 7S Construction, we’ve carried out many garage conversions across North Yorkshire. Each one is designed to make the best use of space while improving comfort and adding long-term value to the property.
What A Garage Conversion Involves
A garage conversion simply means transforming your existing garage into a proper living space. The main structure is already there, which makes the process quicker and often more affordable than a full house extension. Once complete, it should feel like a natural part of your home, not a separate area.
Many families use the space for a home office, guest bedroom, utility room, or playroom. Some prefer it to open up into a kitchen or dining area. Whatever your plans, the aim is to create a warm, comfortable room that works for your day-to-day life.

How Much Does A Garage Conversion Cost?
The cost can vary depending on the size and type of garage, as well as the level of work involved. On average, a garage conversion in the UK can range from £6,000 and £30,000. Smaller, single garages tend to be at the lower end, while larger spaces or those needing extra plumbing or electrical work may cost more.
Here at 7S Construction, we offer a free survey and estimate so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any work starts. Our approach is always straightforward and transparent, and we’ll guide you through the process from the first visit to completion.

Do You Need Planning Permission For A Garage Conversion?
In many cases, you won’t need planning permission for a garage conversion because it can fall under permitted development rights. This means the work is allowed as long as it meets certain limits. There are exceptions though, such as homes in conservation areas or properties that have already used up their permitted changes.
Because we understand local authority planning regulations, we can take care of any required plans or submissions for you. This ensures the conversion meets every rule and runs smoothly from start to finish.
How Long Does A Garage Conversion Take?
The timeline for a garage conversion depends on the size and scope of your project. Simple conversions can be done in as little as four weeks, but conversions that include bathrooms or kitchens can potentially take longer. Our team includes builders, joiners, plasterers, electricians and plumbers, all working together to keep things on schedule.
