What Colchester Homeowners Say About Our Garage Conversion Specialists
Side garage extended into the kitchen on our Colchester 1960s cottage. New steel beam over the new opening to the existing house. Came in £446 under quote thanks to a simpler floor build-up. Insurance copy of the BR completion certificate sent to our broker.
Compared three vetted garage conversion specialists in Colchester through BestBuilders. Existing CU surveyed first - upgraded to support the new circuits at the same time. Final spec £24860. Crash deck during construction kept the rest of the house liveable. Already booking them for the loft conversion next.
Two summers in and the new utility space has changed how we run the house. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Colchester pushed for slightly thicker insulation in the floor - heating bills are noticeably lower. Total £28620. Stamp duty saved by converting rather than moving up.
