For those who have a rarely used garage, why not consider a conversion within Knottingley to make the most from your house. Contrast up to four free quotes with this service to get the best price for a conversion.

One of the major benefits with a garage conversion would be that the space can be changed quickly for the additional room you need, whether it's for a growing family or just to add to the price of your home.

A garage conversion suggests you won't need to move for extra space, which often can help save thousands of pounds on solicitor charges, estate agent payments and stamp duty. And the extra space can be transformed into what you need, whether it's an extension to the living area or kitchen, or perhaps a separate room completely.

With the structure already in position it's evident that a garage conversion will probably be cheaper than constructing an extension also, and won't eat valuable space within your garden. With the exterior unlikely to change as well, it's a good way to get around regulations for conservation areas as well as listed buildings.

Should you be keen on transforming your garage, review quotes from companies within Knottingley working with our quick and simple service to get the very best deal available.

Knottingley

Knottingley is a town within the city borough of the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire. It has a population of 13, 503, increasing to 13,710 for the City of Wakefield ward at the 2011 Census. It was originally an Anglo-Saxon settlement, though the ancient monument of Ferrybridge Henge displays it had considerable native habitation long before then. Knottingley means "the clearing of Cnotta's people", from the English personal name Cnotta meaning "knot", Amid the three Sieges of Pontefract Castle, Oliver Cromwell took residence in the town of Knottingley, understood to be in Wildbore House. Knottingley is a town whose history is tied to river travel and industry. It has managed to maintain various components of that industrial history as flourishing enterprises today, supplying jobs for many of its population of some 17,000. Glass production continues to be very important. The town was among the few in the UK to have a functioning coal mine, Kellingley Colliery. The crossing over the Aire at Ferrybridge was of importance for several centuries. A bridge was established there in 1198, and another to replace it 2 centuries later. Found on the Great North Road connecting London with York and Edinburgh beyond that, the town emerged as an essential staging area for the coach traffic on that route. Near to Knottingley is the Ferrybridge Power Station, which has the largest cooling towers of their kind in Europe. 3 of these towers collapsed in high winds in 1965. These towers can be seen for miles around. One of the earliest purpose-built movie theaters in England, situated in Aire Street, has been transformed into flats. Knottingley is a central point for horse racing fans, with tracks at Pontefract, York, Wetherby and Doncaster all close by.

do you need an architect for a garage conversion?
Have you decided to convert that under-utilized space ( garage) in your home to a more habitable space where you can do anything asides general storage or parking a car? If yes, then you’d probably want to know where to start or if you’d require an architect to get started. Well, you’re not alone! This is one of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to garage conversions and reasonably so. Talking about where to get started, when it comes to home improvement projects the first step to take is determining whether or not you’d require a planning permission or if your proposed garage conversion is covered under permitted development rights. Once you’ve been able to conclude on that, the next step is deciding whether you’re going to complete the project yourself, hire the services of tradesmen or employing a builder. And this ultimately brings us to the question of whether you’ll need an architect for a garage conversion. To get started, it’s highly recommended that you employ the services of a professional architect or an architectural technologist to assist in designing your garage conversion. However, most garage conversion projects are straightforward with no complex changes to be made so far you wish to avoid applying for a planning permission and staying within the set guidelines of the permitted development rights. In such events, if you’re properly trained and well experienced in the field, then it may be cost effective to design your garage conversion by yourself. It should, however, be noted that it all depends on your personal preferences and budget. If you’re on tight budget and don’t mind a straightforward design, you can save cost by not hiring an architect.
do i need planning permission for a garage conversion?

Are you thinking about converting your garage into a new space? Be it a new bedroom, gym, library or playroom, one thing you’ll have to consider before getting started is whether or not you’re going to require a planning permission. Unlike extensions that needs additional space, garage conversion is all about changing the existing structure of a space that’s already available to you - your garage. As a result, these projects are mostly covered by a planning policy that’s a bit different.

For a garage conversion, it’s very unlikely that you’ll need a planning permission. As a matter of fact, only 10 percent of garage conversions has been estimated to need a full planning permission, with the others coming under the permitted development rights. The permitted development rights, however, only provides coverage for home improvements that’s internal which implies that so far you’re not trying to enlarge your garage, you’ll not require a planning permission. But if otherwise, you’ll have to submit an application before commencing your project.

If you’re looking to comply with the permitted development rights, then your project must comply with some specific guidelines. These rules include the following:

• The work should be internal. No plans to enlarge or extend the existing garage.

• You should make sure that the materials used in carrying out the garage conversion is the same with the materials used in building the existing house.

• The building should not be extended.

You may, however, require a planning permission if you’re going to change a detached garage into a living space which could be a bedroom, small annexe or a living room.

Some houses excluded from the permitted development rights include flats, listed buildings, some new developments and most homes in a conservation area.

do i need building regs for a garage conversion?

Are you considering converting your garage into a more usable space in your home? If yes, then you’d probably want to know if you’ll require building regs before converting the garage. The answer to this question is yes. Although you may not require planning approval to convert your garage into a more usable space, but you’d usually need approval under the Building Regulations.

When re-structuring your garage into a habitable space, the following should be taken into consideration: structural alterations, ventilation, moisture proofing, insulation, fireproofing, escape routes as well as the submission of a building building notice or full plan application to the local council in order to inform them about the planned project.

• Walls

You’ll require an approval if you plan to infill the garage door with a window and a new wall. This is because the garage may have been built of a shallow slab which implies that a new foundation would be needed for the new wall construction.

• Floor

Even though there’s a high possibility that the garage floor is strong enough for domestic use since its designed to withstand the weight of vehicles, you may however need to upgrade to make sure it suitable for both thermal insulation and damp proofing. In addition, there may also be the need to to alter the floor level in such a way that it matches that of the remaining parts of the house.

• Ventilation

According to the Building Regulations requirements, there’s a need for adequate ventilation for each individual rooms which includes garage conversions for general health purposes. What’s going to determine the ventilation level that’ll be required is the frequency at which the room is used. Ventilation can be provided through purge or simply opening the window or via trickle ventilation.
