Unlock the Full Potential of Your Home with a Professional Garage Conversion
“Great job to my garage conversion. we can’t wait to start using the new area.”
Upchurch, May 2026
Whether you’re looking for a home office, additional bedroom, playroom, gym, dining room or accessible ground floor bathroom, our experienced team will guide you through every stage of the project, from initial ideas to the finished space.
Many garages quickly become little more than storage areas or places to hide clutter, yet they offer incredible potential to increase both your home’s functionality and value. We work closely with every customer to design a garage conversion that complements the existing property while making the best possible use of the available space. If required, we can safely remove existing garage doors and replace them with high-quality windows and expertly matched brickwork, ensuring the finished conversion blends seamlessly with the rest of your home. The result is a room that looks as though it has always been part of the original property.
Every garage conversion is completed to the highest standards using quality materials and skilled workmanship. We take care of all aspects of the build, including insulation, flooring, electrics, plastering, windows, doors and internal finishes, creating a warm, energy-efficient room that can be enjoyed all year round. Whether you have an attached, integral or detached garage, we’ll help you maximise your available space with a bespoke solution tailored to your lifestyle, budget and long-term plans.
As trusted building specialists serving Kent and the South East, we’re committed to delivering quality workmanship, clear communication and exceptional customer service from start to finish. If you’re considering a garage conversion to create more living space without moving house, contact Pickett & Bosch today for friendly advice, expert guidance and a free, no-obligation quotation.
Based in Maidstone, we are centrally located in Kent and cover all areas of Kent and the South East of England.
Frequently
asked questions
Find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about garage conversions, including planning permission, timescales, costs and the conversion process.
How long does a garage conversion take?
Most garage conversions are completed within 4–6 weeks, depending on the size of the garage and the complexity of the project. We’ll provide a realistic timescale before work begins and keep you updated throughout the build.
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?
In many cases, garage conversions can be completed under Permitted Development rights, meaning planning permission isn’t required. However, every property is different, and we’ll advise you if any approvals or Building Regulations are needed.
What can I use my converted garage for?
A garage conversion can become almost any type of living space, including an additional bedroom, home office, playroom, dining room, gym, utility room, or ground floor bathroom. We’ll help you design a space that suits your family’s needs.
Will a garage conversion add value to my home?
A professionally completed garage conversion can increase your home’s appeal and may add value by creating additional usable living space. It’s also often a more affordable alternative to moving house or building a full extension.
Can you match the new brickwork to my existing home?
Yes. If your garage door is removed, we carefully match the new brickwork, windows and external finishes so the conversion blends seamlessly with the rest of your property.
