How Much Does a Garage Conversion Cost?

£10,000 – £28,000

per job

A garage conversion costs between £10,000 and £28,000, depending on the size of the garage, the level of finish, and whether structural work such as underpinning or a new front wall is required. Converting a single integrated garage into a habitable room is one of the most cost-effective ways to add living space without the disruption of a full extension.

What affects the price?

Garage size - a single garage conversion costs £10,000-£18,000; a double garage costs £15,000-£28,000

Structural work required - replacing the garage door with a new wall, window, and door is a significant element of the cost

Insulation and damp-proofing - solid concrete floors require insulation and DPC; walls may need internal insulation boarding

Electrics and plumbing - adding circuits, heating, and plumbing for a utility room or bathroom adds cost

Labour vs materials

Labour typically accounts for 50-60% of the total cost of a garage conversion. A standard single garage conversion takes two to three weeks for a small team.
