What our garage conversion customers say
"Sean and Paul project-managed our garage conversion in Nuneaton from start to finish. The space went from a damp, unused garage to a beautiful additional bedroom suite in eight weeks. Quality work, fair price, no hidden costs. Highly recommend Parker Grears for any garage conversion in the area."
— Helen, Nuneaton
"Five stars. We had quotes from three Nuneaton builders for our garage conversion and Parker Grears were the only ones who properly explained the building regs side and gave us a fixed price upfront. The finished room is exactly what we wanted — warm, dry, and indistinguishable from the rest of the house."
— Yvette, Hinckley
"Excellent work converting our integrated garage into a home office. The team kept the site tidy throughout, finished on schedule, and the quality of the joinery and electrics is genuinely impressive. We will be going back to Parker Grears for our future build work in Warwickshire."
— B., Warwickshire

Do you need planning permission to convert a garage in Nuneaton?
In most cases, no. A garage conversion that stays within the existing footprint and does not change the external appearance of your property usually falls under permitted development.
You do need planning permission if:
- Your property is in a conservation area (parts of central Nuneaton, Bulkington, Astley)
- Your house is listed
- Permitted development rights have been removed by a previous planning condition (common on newer estates)
- You are converting in a way that significantly changes the front elevation (replacing the garage door with a window or new front door)
Even where planning is not needed, every garage conversion must comply with building regulations — covering insulation, fire safety, structural integrity, ventilation and damp-proofing. We sort building control sign-off for every project we deliver. Read our full planning permission guide.

A single garage conversion typically costs £18,000–£24,000 in Nuneaton, with higher-spec conversions including an ensuite or kitchenette running £24,000–£32,000. Double garage conversions are £28,000–£42,000.
Do I need planning permission to convert my garage?
Most garage conversions in Nuneaton fall under permitted development and do not need planning permission. Houses in conservation areas, listed buildings, and properties where PD has been removed by condition are the main exceptions.
How long does a garage conversion take?
A standard single garage conversion takes 4–6 weeks on site. Higher-spec conversions including an ensuite or kitchenette take 6–8 weeks. Double garage and full annexe conversions take 6–12 weeks.
Can I convert my integral garage into a bedroom?
Yes — integral garages are the most common conversion type we deliver, because they share a wall with the house and have ready access to existing services. The conversion needs to meet building regs for insulation, fire safety and means of escape if it is becoming a habitable bedroom.
Will a garage conversion add value to my home?
In Nuneaton and the wider Warwickshire area, a well-executed garage conversion typically adds £20,000–£40,000 to a home value — usually more than the conversion costs.
Do you handle building regulations as part of the price?
Yes — every Parker Grears garage conversion includes the full building regulations submission, inspections and final certificate.
