Garage and Loft Conversions in Hastings, Rye and the East Sussex Area | Located in Eastbourne
Do you need a dependable team of builders who can help you to get full functionality from garage or loft space? Based in Polegate on the outskirts of Eastbourne, we undertake garage conversions and loft conversions for our valued clients in the East Sussex area. Our builders and tradespeople bring more than 30 years of experience to your project, delivering a high-end brand of workmanship that has earned us our deserved local reputation.
In addition to Eastbourne, we can also convert garages and lofts in Hailsham, Hastings, Rye and the surrounding areas. You can read what previous clients have said about our conversions by reading their testimonials.
With free advice available alongside no-obligation quotations, we can steer you in the right direction on planning permission. Not all garage conversions or loft conversions will require local authority approval. Some will fall inside permitted development, especially simple loft conversions where our builders are only installing rooflights or are working to the popular dormer style.
Garage conversions won’t require planning approval unless the specification requires us to alter the footprint, the height or the exterior appearance.
Loft Conversions
O&S Building Services can offer an end-to-end service with all manual trades provided so you never need to deal with multiple companies or contractors. We offer a complete project management service that streamlines the process so that deadlines are met, and budgets are never exceeded. From stripping out your attic space to insulating it, adding partition walls and taking on any electrical work required, we are here to take care of everything.
We can build loft conversions in the following styles:
- Rooflight Conversions
- Dormer Conversions
- Mansard Conversions
- Hip-to-Gable Conversions
Most loft conversions start through the roof, so our builders and tradespeople won’t need to enter your home until the later stages of a project. This keeps noise, mess and disruption at minimum levels. We tidy up at the end of each day and remove waste materials from site regularly to keep everything tidy.
Clients in Eastbourne, Hailsham, Hastings, Rye and the surrounding areas can also have ladders or staircases fitted for easier access into their loft space.
Garage Conversions
You can also make more of underused space by choosing the team at O&S Building Services to work on your garage conversion project. The chances are that if you own a garage, you are part of the 70% of the UK population that never use it as a parking space for your car. Instead, your garage is most likely home to clutter and could be better deployed as living or workspace. Let our builders turn your garage into a more functional part of the home.
We can partition garages so you can use them for a variety of purposes or still have some storage space available. Common uses for garage conversions include utility rooms, home offices, home gyms and studios. Some clients in the East Sussex area will use a garage as part of a kitchen extension project.
A garage conversion must be:
- Sound in structural integrity with a damp proof course
- Fully insulated to keep the garage energy efficient
- Tested by a competent person for electrical safety
- Protected against moisture and have ventilation
- Fireproofed and designed with designated escape routes
If a garage conversion needs local authority approval, we will liaise with their building control officers to guarantee a smooth and seamless signoff.
The Benefits of Garage and Loft Conversions
Understandably, the biggest benefit to having a garage or a loft converted is the acquisition of additional living space. This is especially important to homeowners in Eastbourne, Hailsham, Hastings, Rye and East Sussex who have growing families, and who would prefer not to relocate because they love the home they are in or feel a strong connection with their community.
Some people even stay in a home because of school catchment places.
For others, it is about having a dedicated space for pursuing their interests. We have seen garage conversions and loft conversions inspiringly used as home cinemas, art studios, mancaves or fully optimised storage space.
What you choose to do with your garage or loft is entirely up to you.
