What I wish I’d known before starting my garage conversion
I’m part way through converting my garage in the UK and massively underestimated how many planning and Building Control checks there actually are.
I assumed that because planning permission wasn’t needed, everything else would be straightforward. It isn’t.
Things that nearly caught me out: • Planning conditions attached to the original approval • How insulation thickness affects ceiling height • Fire separation requirements between the house and garage • The order inspections need to happen in • What Building Control expect to see before walls are closed
I’ve started keeping a checklist just to make sure I don’t miss something obvious and end up redoing work.
Posting this partly as a warning and partly to ask what surprised you most during your own conversion or renovation?
