Garage conversions in Shefford, Bedford & across Bedfordshire

A garage that's rarely used for the car is usually one of the quickest ways you can add space to a home, without the cost or disruption of a full extension. Here at R&J Building Services we have carried out garage conversions across Shefford, Bedford and the wider Bedfordshire area for over 40 years, turning underused garages into:

  • Living space
  • Home offices
  • Playrooms

Or anything you might require of the space. Garage conversions involve changes to:

  • Insulation
  • Flooring
  • Electrics
  • Plumbing (not always)

Our team covers the full job from:

  • Initial building work
  • Plastering
  • Carpentry
  • Electrics
  • Finishings

The conversion is planned and carried out as a single, well-managed project which benefits from being handled by one team rather than several separate tradespeople.

Garages present unique challenges, such as raising floor levels to match the rest of the house, dealing with existing damp or cold spots, and making sure the new space feels part of the home. Having every trade in-house means these details are considered from the outset rather than being worked around later, and it also means the finish can be brought up to match the rest of the property throughout.
