Transform Your Garage Into a Functional Living Space
A garage conversion can dramatically increase your home’s usable space – and its value. At Maxwell Joinery, we handle every aspect of the project, from insulation to interior finishes, ensuring your new room blends seamlessly with the rest of your home.
Common Garage Conversion Projects
- Kitchen extensions: Expand your kitchen into the garage space for a larger, open-plan layout.
- Home offices: Create a quiet, productive space separated from main living areas.
- Guest bedrooms: Add a comfortable spare room for visitors or family members.
- Utility rooms or WCs: Make smart use of plumbing-ready spaces for laundry or bathrooms.
What’s Involved in a Garage Conversion?
We manage everything from the structural work to the final coat of paint:
- Pre-conversion assessment: We inspect the site and discuss your needs, plans, and budget.
- Insulation & floor work: We insulate walls, ceilings, and dig floors if needed to meet height/building specs.
- Windows & doors: We replace garage doors with custom windows or walls to suit your design.
- Electrics & plumbing: All systems installed by certified tradespeople.
- Plastering & finishing: Walls are fully prepped, painted, and finished to a high standard.
- Integration: We ensure your new space flows with your existing layout – whether connected to a kitchen, hallway, or new entrance.

“Outstanding work from Scott. He fitted 6 new internal doors and fixed broken bedroom cupboard doors. He arrived on time and worked tirelessly to complete the job and tidied up before he left. It is great to see young tradesmen take such pride in their work, and I would definitely recommend Scott to anyone needing Joinery work done. I have already asked him back to do further work.” – Andrew Renwick ★★★★★
