Step 1: Tell us about your project
You give us a quick rundown of the garage, a general idea of your location, and the best way to get hold of you.
Step 2: We match your enquiry to a single local installer
Your details go to one local installer who covers your area, not to a long list of firms and not sold on as a generic lead.
Step 3: The installer contacts you directly
The installer will contact you to talk through the garage and what you're hoping to achieve, and to set up a visit or a call. Everything from here on is between you and them directly, this site steps out of the picture.
Step 4: You receive a written quote, and it's entirely up to you
A proper written quote will lay out the scope of work, the finish, and anything relevant to building regulations or planning, so you know precisely what's on the table. Accepting it isn't required, and getting other quotes to weigh it against is entirely your call.
What we'd suggest you check yourself
Before you sign off on anything, check the installer's trading history and confirm they carry insurance for the specific job, and be clear on who's handling any planning or building control steps, including a party wall notice if the garage backs onto next door. Get the full scope, the price, and what happens if the plans change written down before a single brick is touched.
Frequently asked questions
Will you be the one converting my garage?+
No. This is a referral service only. The actual work is carried out by an independent local installer, who deals with you directly from your first conversation onward.
What's worth verifying before I commit to an installer?+
Take a look yourself at the installer's trading history and their insurance for the job, get the full spec and price down in writing, and make sure you know who's dealing with any planning or party wall steps before work begins.
