Garage conversions in Tadley
What the job usually looks like here.
A large share of Tadley housing came with a garage, and a good share of those are now storing a freezer, a mower and thirty years of boxes. Where the garage is integral it already sits inside the thermal envelope on two or three sides, which makes it among the cheapest rooms you can create in the town. The catch on the tighter closes is parking — if the garage is your only off-street space, the room may not be worth what it costs you.
The three things that decide a Tadley garage conversion are all below eye level. The slab is usually lower than the house floor, which is good news because it gives us the depth for insulation and a damp-proof membrane. The side walls are frequently single skin and need lining. And the lintel over the old door was sized for a door, not a wall. Get those right and it is a room that lasts; skip them and it is a cold, damp room you stop using by the second winter.

Does a garage conversion in Tadley need planning permission?
Normally not — converting an integral garage is usually permitted development. It does need Building Regulations approval, which is a separate thing, and we make the application and handle the inspections.
Can I keep the garage door and still get the room?
Yes, and on the deeper Tadley garages it is a good answer. We build an insulated partition, keep the rear section and the original up-and-over door for storage, and finish the front as habitable space.
