There are so many properties in and around Surrey and West Sussex, from East Grinstead to Forest Row, Lingfield to Crawley, which feature garages. Yet so few homeowners can honestly claim they’re getting the most out of theirs. As it’s become less and less common to actively store a vehicle in these spaces, with most choosing to keep theirs on their driveway or parked on the street outside for quick and easy access, garages have increasingly become “overflow storage” spaces, filled with items that should have gone to the tip or been sold online years ago. If this sounds familiar, or you do make use of your garage but feel there’s still a lot of potential to exploit, Apex Builders wants to hear from you – as our garage conversions may be the perfect solution.
The garage conversions we project manage, much like loft conversions, see a professional builder come in to really make the most of the available space. What’s involved in this task is different from case to case; in this sense, garage conversions are always strictly bespoke. A project in East Grinstead may require the strengthening of foundations and load bearing walls, while a job in Forest Row may mainly revolve around painting, decorating and general “doing up”. Over in Lingfield, we may need to update electrics to ensure the end space is fit for purpose, while a Crawley client may need their garage hooked up to the property’s plumbing system.
The possible end uses for garage conversions are only really limited by your imagination and the available space; in other words, there’s really nothing an Apex builder can’t construct, with our three decades of experience and impressive portfolio of completed works. Perhaps you’re looking to add in a guest bedroom, or fully kitted out utility room? Home workers avoiding morning commutes from busy stations around East Grinstead, Forest Row, Lingfield and Crawley may wish for a dedicated office. Others: a gym to help them meet their fitness goals.
In a word, it’s simply up to you. Whatever you add will also add a fair share of value, and depending on the state of the market and exactly what you end up opting for, likely provide an impressive return on investment. This is especially the case when you choose a proven professional to handle the building work involved in garage conversions, such as East Grinstead, Forest Row, Lingfield and Crawley’s favoured local builder, Apex.
