Hi ice,
A few questions first:
- Convert the garage to what - workroom, gym, extension to the main house?
- Is it attached directly to the main house?
- Is it visible from the front. main road?
I ask these questions because:
- If you're using it as a habitable space, you will need to do more than just re-roof it to comply with parts C, F and L of the building regulations.
- If its seperate from the main house and/or needs a link then it probably needs permission.
- If its visible, and you're varying the appearance of the roof and raising it, as opposed to merely glazing the elevation, you may need permission.
- If you intend to sell on at any time in the future you should have conversion work done by a registered and insured builder and signed off by a competent building professional.
The above will incur costs that are additional to any other costs you may incur.
