Q&As
Should I convert my garage?
Generally speaking, which is likely to be a cheaper/easier option:
1) Convert double length garage, relocate and install new kitchen and utility room, remove existing kitchen and convert to reception room
2) Build an external porch, knock out the internal entrance hall to make the front half of the house an open plan kitchen/dining space, install new kitchen, relocate and install new utility room and downstairs WC
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
In order to make an accurate cost prediction we would need specific information regarding the size of the property, the trades you plan on hiring and the location of the property etc.
The Build It Estimating Service is a good way to build a detailed cost breakdown of your proposed plans.
If you are currently looking for a more general guide to typical costs we have plenty of relevant resources online:
