Turn a suitable garage into a practical part of your home with a carefully coordinated conversion. Nodir personally assesses the proposed work and remains your principal point of contact throughout the agreed building project.

One principal point of contact throughout the agreed building project.
Workmanship completed by EBS is supported by a one-year guarantee, subject to the agreed terms.
A garage conversion can provide additional living or working space by adapting an existing part of the property. Depending on its construction, size and location, the converted area could become a home office, bedroom, utility room or flexible family space.
EBS assesses the proposed work and coordinates the agreed construction stages around the property, available plans and technical requirements.
Depending on the garage, approved plans and agreed specification, EBS can coordinate the building work required to create a practical internal space.
The exact work included will depend on the garage, proposed use, approved plans, structural information, access conditions and written quotation. Specialist design, calculations, approvals and regulated work must be completed or signed off by the appropriate qualified professionals.
The garage’s construction, condition and relationship to the main property must be assessed before the proposed conversion scope can be confirmed.
The walls, roof, foundations and existing openings may influence what alterations and preparation are required.
Existing floor levels, damp conditions and the proposed finished floor construction must be considered when planning the work.
The converted space may require suitable thermal insulation and ventilation to support its intended use and applicable requirements.
Internal access, external doors, windows, natural light and relevant escape requirements can affect the proposed layout.
The availability and position of heating, electrical, plumbing and drainage services must be reviewed where they form part of the conversion.
A site visit provides an initial assessment only. Final suitability may depend on measured drawings, structural information, ground and damp conditions, planning requirements, Building Regulations and advice from appropriately qualified professionals.
Every garage conversion is different, but these four stages provide a clear overview of how EBS coordinates the agreed building work.
Nodir visits the property to inspect the garage, discuss its proposed use and identify the main practical considerations.
The available plans and technical information are reviewed before the construction scope, quotation, access arrangements and required preparations are agreed.
EBS coordinates the agreed preparation, structural alterations, insulation, services, internal installation and finishing work.
The completed work is reviewed with you, and any agreed finishing points are addressed before handover.
The exact sequence may vary according to the garage, property, proposed use, approvals, specialist requirements and agreed scope of work.
The permissions and technical information required will depend on the garage, property, proposed alterations and intended use of the completed space.
Some garage conversions may not require planning permission, while others may need approval because of external alterations, planning conditions, property restrictions or the proposed use. This must be confirmed for the individual property.
Garage conversions generally require Building Regulations approval. Relevant requirements may include structural stability, insulation, ventilation, fire safety, damp protection, drainage and electrical work.
Alterations to openings, walls, floors or roofs may require drawings, calculations or specifications prepared by appropriately qualified professionals before construction begins.
EBS can review the available project information and coordinate its agreed construction work. Property owners remain responsible for ensuring that all required permissions, approvals and specialist documentation are obtained unless the written quotation expressly assigns a responsibility to EBS.
