Garage conversions in Herne Hill

A garage that never sees a car is space you already own. In Herne Hill we turn those garages into bedrooms, lounges, offices and gyms for households across the SE24 postcode area.

Pick the room that suits you: a bedroom, a living room, a home office or a gym. You get a free survey, a fixed price with every item listed, and Building Regulations sign-off for the Lambeth Council area once the work is done.

Structural changes are designed by a structural engineer we appoint, whether that is the new wall where the garage door was, an opening into the house or a steel beam. We liaise with the Building Control inspector for Lambeth Council, book each visit and attend it with them. See our guide to the process for the full sequence.

How a conversion works in Herne Hill

  1. 1

    Free survey and itemised price

    We visit your home in Herne Hill, measure the garage, check the slab, walls, roof and any damp, and talk through the room you want. A fixed price follows within a few days.

  2. 2

    Design and approval

    We draw the layout, have a structural engineer design any openings or beams, and send the application to Building Control for the Lambeth Council area.

  3. 3

    Building the room

    Out comes the garage door, in go the new wall and window, then insulation, wiring, heating and plaster. A single garage usually takes two to three weeks on site.

  4. 4

    Inspections and handover

    We arrange and attend each Building Control visit for Lambeth Council, finish the decorating and hand over the room with its completion certificate.

Questions from Herne Hill homeowners

Is planning permission needed for a garage conversion in Herne Hill?

Usually not. Converting an attached or integral garage without making it bigger is normally permitted development. Listed homes, conservation areas, estates where those rights were removed and detached garages can be exceptions, so we check with Lambeth Council before work starts.

Who handles Building Control and the engineer in Herne Hill?

We do. We make the Building Control application for the Lambeth Council area, appoint a structural engineer for any openings or beams, attend every inspection and give you the completion certificate when the room is signed off.

How long does a garage conversion in Herne Hill take?

Around two to three weeks on site for a single garage. A knock-through, an en-suite or a larger garage adds time, and we agree the programme with you first.

What does a garage conversion in Herne Hill cost?

We price after a free survey, because the cost depends on your garage, the room you want and the structural work involved. The quote is fixed and itemised. Our cost guide explains what affects it.

Do you cover areas near Herne Hill?

Yes. Our Herne Hill team covers SE24 and nearby areas including Brixton, Dulwich, Clapham, West Norwood, East Dulwich. Each has its own local number, listed on the areas page.
