The Benefits of a Garage Conversion in Corby
Running short on space in your Corby home? A garage conversion in Corby offers one of the most cost-effective, practical ways to add valuable living space without the hassle and high costs of a full house extension. Whether you need an extra bedroom, home office, playroom for the kids, or your own gym, your garage can be transformed into something truly special.
Our experienced team specialises in garage conversions across Corby and the wider North Northamptonshire area, having completed hundreds of successful projects that turn wasted space into beautiful, functional rooms. With house prices continuing to rise in the area, a garage conversion offers exceptional value compared to moving house or building a traditional extension.
Most garage conversions in Corby fall under permitted development rights, meaning you won’t need planning permission, making the whole process much simpler. However, building regulations approval is essential to ensure proper insulation, ventilation, damp proofing, and structural integrity. Our experienced team handles all building regulations applications, taking the stress and complexity out of the process for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Conversions
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion in Corby?
Most garage conversions in Corby fall under permitted development rights and don’t require planning permission. However, building regulations approval is always required. Planning permission may be needed if your property is in a conservation area, is a listed building, or if you’re planning significant external changes. We’ll assess your specific situation during our initial consultation and advise accordingly.
How much does a garage conversion cost in Corby?
Garage conversion costs in Corby typically range from £8,000 to £20,000 depending on your garage size and specification. A basic conversion with standard finishes starts around £8,000-£12,000, while high-end conversions with premium features can reach £15,000-£20,000. En-suite bathrooms, bi-fold doors, and underfloor heating will increase costs. We provide detailed quotes tailored to your specific project and budget.
How long does a garage conversion take?
Most garage conversions in Corby are completed within 4-6 weeks from start to finish. The timeline depends on the complexity of the conversion and your garage’s current condition. Simple conversions may take just 3 weeks, while more complex projects involving bathrooms or significant structural work could take 8 weeks. We’ll provide a realistic timeline during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout the project.
What building regulations apply to garage conversions?
Garage conversions must meet UK building regulations covering structural integrity, fire safety, insulation and energy efficiency, ventilation, electrical safety, and damp proofing. The floor level must be at least 150mm below your main house floor level, or steps will be required. We handle all building regulations paperwork and inspections, ensuring your conversion fully complies with current standards.
Will a garage conversion add value to my Corby property?
Yes, absolutely. A professionally completed garage conversion typically adds 10-15% to property values in Corby. The exact increase depends on the quality of the conversion and how well it meets buyer needs. Extra bedrooms or home offices are particularly desirable in today’s market. The cost of a garage conversion is significantly less than the value it adds, making it an excellent investment in your property.
Can I convert both attached and detached garages?
Yes, both types can be converted, though attached garages are easier to integrate as they already connect to your home. Attached garage conversions flow seamlessly with your existing living space. Detached garage conversions work well for home offices, gyms, or independent studios where separation from the main house is beneficial. We have extensive experience with both garage types throughout Corby.
How do you handle heating and insulation?
Proper insulation is crucial for garage conversions. We install high-quality insulation in walls, ceilings, and floors to meet building regulations while keeping your new space warm and energy efficient. We’ll connect to your existing central heating system or install electric heating as appropriate. Modern insulation materials ensure your converted garage is as comfortable as any other room in your Corby home, all year round.
What about parking after the conversion?
This is an important consideration. Many Corby properties have driveways where you can continue parking. Some homeowners decide the extra living space is more valuable than garage parking. If parking is limited, you might consider a carport or other off-street parking solutions. We can discuss options during our consultation to help you make the best decision for your circumstances.
Do you handle all the trades including electrics and plumbing?
Yes, we provide a complete turnkey service. Our in-house team includes qualified electricians, plumbers, plasterers, and builders. We coordinate all trades, so you don’t need to manage multiple contractors. All electrical and plumbing work is carried out by certified professionals and tested to current UK standards. This comprehensive approach ensures quality control and smooth project completion.
