Step 1: Tell us about your project
You share some basic details about the garage, roughly where you are, and how best to reach you.
Step 2: Your enquiry is matched to one local installer
It's passed to a single local installer covering your area, rather than being shared with a long list of businesses or sold on as a generic lead.
Step 3: The installer contacts you directly
The installer gets in touch to discuss the garage, what you have in mind, and to arrange a visit or a call. From this point on, you're dealing directly with them, not with this site.
Step 4: You get a written quote, with no obligation
A proper written quote should set out the work involved, the finish, and anything to do with building regulations or planning, so you can see exactly what you're being offered. There's no obligation to go ahead, and you're free to get other quotes to compare.
What we'd suggest you check yourself
Before agreeing to any work, it's worth checking an installer's own trading history and insurance for the specific job, and confirming who's responsible for any planning or building control steps, including any party wall notice if the garage is attached to a neighbouring property. We'd always recommend getting the full scope of work, the price, and what happens if plans change, in writing before anything starts.
Frequently asked questions
Are you the installer who will convert my garage?+
No. We're a referral service. A local installer, separate from this site, carries out the work and deals with you directly from the point of first contact.
What should I check before agreeing to go ahead?+
It's worth checking the installer's trading history and insurance for the job yourself, getting the full specification and price in writing, and being clear on who handles any planning or party wall steps before work starts.
