How much does a garage conversion cost in Dover?

A garage conversion in Dover usually falls in the £7,000–£23,000 range, though every project is different. South East costs typically run above the UK average — Kent labour and materials are a real factor. Expect insulation, flooring and damp-proofing and whether an ensuite or kitchenette is added to move the price most, along with new heating, electrics and glazing. Getting two or three quotes is the best way to see a fair local price, which is exactly what our free matching service arranges.

How long does it take?

In Dover, expect a typical garage conversion to take about 3–6 weeks once work begins.

  • Sort insulation first. Garages are cold — proper insulation is the key to a comfortable room.
  • Check the floor level. Garage floors often need raising and damp-proofing.
  • Keep some storage. Design in cupboards to replace what the garage used to hold.
