Basement Conversions
Covering Bristol, United Kingdom
Turn unwanted space into reality
Basement conversions have surged in popularity, particularly in urban locales such as Bristol. Essentially, a basement conversion involves transforming an underutilized or neglected basement into a functional living space. This process can significantly enhance the usability of a home, offering a range of benefits that appeal to both homeowners and potential buyers.
One of the primary advantages of converting a basement is the addition of substantial living space without the need for external construction. This is especially valuable in densely populated areas like Bristol, where expanding upwards or outwards may not be feasible. By converting a basement, homeowners can effectively utilize the existing footprint of their property, creating new rooms and areas that cater to various needs.
Full conversion
Integral single garage
Single integral garage conversions are a popular home renovation option. Being already part of many house designs, they can be converted to additional living space relatively inexpensively with minimal disruption. Typically no planning permission or architectural fees are required. A full conversion can usually be completed within around ten working days.
Part conversion
Integral single garage
Part garage conversions are a popular option for homeowners. They provide additional living space while maintaining some storage area. These projects are relatively inexpensive since they require minimal changes and typically no planning approval or architectural fees.
Typically a partition wall is added near the front of the garage, dividing it into separate areas. The existing garage door remains in place. A part conversion can be completed in about a week, providing extra space while retaining handy storage.
Double conversion
Integral garage
Double garage conversions often involve more work and provide greater design flexibility than single garage conversions. The additional work and scope means general cost estimates are difficult to provide without understanding your specific project.

We will then be able to outline the necessary work and provide a cost estimate tailored to your project.
Detached conversion
Double garage
A detached double garage conversion typically requires more insulation work than a single garage. Issues like planning permissions may also be relevant due to connecting the garage to the main house.
