Garage conversions
Turn an unused garage into a home office, playroom, bedroom with en-suite or annexe. We insulate the floor, walls and ceiling to Building Regulations, replace the door with a matching window and brickwork, and finish ready to move in.

Most renovations stall because the homeowner ends up managing five different contractors. With us you deal with one company. We book, schedule and check every trade ourselves.

Garage conversions
From cold storage to a room you’ll use every day
Photos from our recent garage conversions, showing how a bare garage becomes a warm, insulated room.

What a typical conversion includes
Structural work: steel lintel, new ceiling joists and blocking up the door opening
Insulation to the floor, walls and ceiling to Building Regulations
A new window, or a window and door, where the garage door was
Plasterboard, plastering, electrics, downlights and heating
Flooring and decorating, ready to move in
We handle Building Regulations and every trade, so you deal with one team from start to finish.
Extension
A 3-metre roof light, lifted in by crane
A bright garden room with a solar-powered opening roof light. With no access at the back, we hired a crane to lift it over the rooftops.
Read the full story
Our client wanted a bright garden room off the back of her house. It was one of our trickiest jobs, and we handled every part of it ourselves, from the roof to the last coat of paint.
What we did
Full insulation to current Building Regulations
A 3 m × 1 m solar-powered opening roof light, lifted in by crane
Four-panel Smart bifold doors onto the garden
French doors linking the extension to the house
Electrics, wall lights, sockets and a vertical radiator
Plastering, wide-plank engineered oak flooring and decorating
Getting it signed off
The original plans needed changes to meet the regulations. We worked them through with Building Control so the finished extension meets all the required standards.
The result: our client was so happy that she’s asked us back to do her kitchen next.

What we did
Stripped out the old kitchen, tiles and flooring, back to bare walls
New sage green gloss handleless units
Wood-effect worktops with matching upstands

One team handled the strip-out, joinery, electrics, tiling and flooring, so nothing waited on another contractor.
Shower room · Faversham
From an accessible wet room to a modern shower room
The old wet-room floor and the window position didn’t suit a shower tray, so we dug into the concrete to get the levels right.
Read the full story
The house had an old wet room designed for a disabled resident. Our clients wanted a modern shower room that suited the way they live, so we stripped it back and started again.
What we did
Stripped out the old wet room
Broke out and re-levelled the concrete floor
Walk-in shower with a frameless glass screen
Marble-effect tiles from floor to ceiling
Back-to-wall toilet with a concealed cistern and tiled niche
Wall-hung vanity, black column radiator and LED downlights
Plumbing, electrics, tiling and finishing all done by our own team.
Bathroom
Our smallest bathroom yet
No standard shower tray would fit, so we had one made to order and cut it to size. Every centimetre counted.
Read the full story
This was the smallest bathroom we’ve ever fitted, and one of the hardest. The space was too tight for any off-the-shelf shower tray, so we had a tray specially ordered and cut to size, then planned everything else around it.
What we did
Full strip-out of the old bathroom
Made-to-order shower tray, cut to fit the space
Glass shower enclosure with a thermostatic rainfall shower
White wall tiles with a patterned feature wall
Compact toilet and vanity basin
The result: a full shower room in a tiny space. Our client was delighted and left us a glowing review.

Pete and his team renovated our kitchen and we can’t fault the experience. Laura was very clear with all the quotes and updates, Pete and his team turned up on time, grafted hard every day, and were respectful and considerate builders.
R

★★★★★
The thing I like most is that they estimate accurately and stick to budget. If there are any changes they discuss them first and agree them.

They made the process of having my house turned upside down into a relatively pain-free experience, due to their professionalism, creativity, depth of knowledge and know-how.

The whole (extended) project came in on budget thanks to careful management.
PT Renovations and Build Ltd is owned and run by Peter and Laura as equal partners. Between them they cover the building work and the design, so every project gets both.

Our sister company
Damp, cellars or basement conversions?
Damp proofing, cellar and basement waterproofing and basement conversions are handled by our specialist sister company, Lark Basements Ltd.
Do I need planning permission to convert my garage in Faversham?
Most integral or attached garage conversions fall under permitted development, so planning permission is often not needed. You do need Building Regulations approval. Conservation areas, listed buildings and some new-build estates with restrictive conditions may need planning permission. We check this with Swale Borough Council before any work starts.
How long does a garage conversion take?
A typical single garage conversion takes around 3 to 5 weeks on site once approvals are in place. Double or detached garages take longer.
How long does a single storey extension take?
Most single storey rear extensions take around 10 to 16 weeks on site, depending on size, groundworks and the kitchen or glazing package.
Do I need to hire my own plumber or electrician?
No. We have every trade on our books, including builders, plumbers, electricians, plasterers, tilers, joiners and decorators. We schedule and manage them all, so you have one point of contact for the whole project.
Can I stay in my home during the work?
For garage conversions, bathrooms and most extensions, yes. We seal off the work area, and can set up a temporary kitchen during kitchen works. Full renovations are planned room by room where possible.
How much does a garage conversion cost?
Our single garage conversions start from £15,000 + VAT, including insulation, a window in place of the garage door, electrics, plastering and flooring. Adding an en-suite starts from about £21,000, and double garages from £26,000. Your exact price depends on the garage’s size and condition, so we confirm it in a free, itemised quote after a site visit.
How do your quotes work?
Every quote is free, written and itemised, so you can see labour, materials and any provisional sums line by line before you decide.
Do you deal with damp or basement conversions?
Yes, through our sister company Lark Basements Ltd (larkbasements.co.uk), which specialises in damp proofing, cellar waterproofing and basement conversions.
Which areas do you cover?
We’re based in Faversham and work across Swale and East Kent, including Canterbury, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Sittingbourne, Teynham and the surrounding villages. For larger projects such as extensions and full house renovations, we travel anywhere in Kent.
