A local garage conversion company in West Derby

P & P Builders is a West Derby firm run by Peter, who has over 30 years in the building trade. Garage conversions are a big part of our work, and we handle the building side from start to finish: the garage door comes out, the opening is built up in brick with a new window, and the space is finished inside as a proper room.

Many garages only have single brick walls, which is why so many converted garages feel cold. We build a block wall on the inside and plaster it, so the room is finished like the rest of the house.

Whether your garage is built into the front of the house or sits alongside it, as in the two jobs in our photos, the approach is the same: Peter comes to look, talks you through what will work and prices the job.

What our customers’ garages became

Three garage conversions our customers described in their Bark reviews, each one a garage that is now part of the house.

  • A home office

    A single garage turned into an office, finished to a high standard.

  • A new room

    A garage made into a room the customer is delighted with, at a fair price.

  • A downstairs shower room

    A shower room built in the garage, opening off the kitchen.

Why convert your garage?

For a lot of families, converting the garage is the simplest way to add a room to the house.

  • More room without moving

    A garage conversion adds a room to the house you already live in, so there is no selling, buying or packing up to do.

  • Keep the whole garden

    Unlike an extension, a conversion takes no space from the garden, which matters on a smaller plot.

  • Built on what is there

    The walls, roof and floor are already in place. The work goes into turning that shell into a room, not building one from the ground up.

  • A room for the way you live

    A home office for working from home, a bedroom for a growing family, or a shower room downstairs for someone who finds the stairs hard.

How your garage conversion goes

From the first visit to the finished room, you deal with Peter.

  • Peter comes to look

    Peter visits to see the garage, measure up and hear what you want the new room to be used for.

  • A price for the work

    You get a price for the job before anything starts, so you know where you stand.

  • The building work

    The garage door comes out, the opening is built up in brick with a new window, and a block wall goes up inside the old one.

  • A finished room

    The new walls are plastered and the space is finished as part of the house, ready for you to make your own.

What our customers say

Every review below is from a real Bark customer, put in our own words.

  • We badly needed a shower room downstairs, and P&P were the one firm that convinced us it could be done. Our garage is now a great shower room you reach from the kitchen. They took the garage door out for a window and door, and put another door in at the back. Friendly, hard-working and here every day.

  • Pete and his team turned my garage into a room and I’m delighted with how it came out. Friendly, on time and, above all, good value. I’ll be calling them for more work once I’ve saved up.

  • We’ve had our single garage turned into an office, and P&P were brilliant. The finish is excellent and the whole job went quickly and smoothly. Thank you to Peter and the team.

Garage conversion questions

A few things people ask us before converting a garage in West Derby.

Do you do garage conversions in West Derby?

Yes. We are based in West Derby and carry out garage conversions across Liverpool, from Croxteth and Knotty Ash to Huyton, Kirkby and Bootle.

What can my garage be converted into?

Our customers have had their garages turned into home offices, bedrooms and living rooms, and a downstairs shower room that opens off the kitchen. If you have something else in mind, tell us and we will tell you honestly whether it will work.

What happens to the garage door?

The garage door is taken out and the opening is built up in brick, usually with a new window. If you want a door there instead, or a new door into the garden at the back, we can put one in.

My garage only has single brick walls. Can it still be a warm room?

Yes. A lot of garages are only a single brick thick, which makes them cold and damp as a room. We build a block wall on the inside of the old wall and plaster it, so it is finished like the rest of the house.

Who will do the work?

P & P Builders is a garage conversion company run by Peter, who has over 30 years’ experience in the building trade. Peter and his team do the work themselves, and you deal with him from the first visit to the finished room.

Do you do other conversions and building work?

Yes. As well as garage conversions we build house extensions, conservatories and garden rooms, and loft conversions, and we take on general building work such as walls, repointing and media walls.

Should I convert the garage or build an extension?

It depends on the house and what you need. A garage conversion uses space you already have and leaves the garden as it is, while an extension adds new floor space where there is no garage, or where you need more room than the garage gives. We build both, so Peter can tell you honestly which suits your home.

How do I get a price for my garage conversion?

Call Peter on 07729 386621 or send the form at the top of this page. He will come out to look at the garage, talk through what you want and give you a price for the work.
