Garage Conversions Cork
Turning your garage into extra living space, or extending it for more room. IVCG manages your garage conversion in Cork from planning right through to finish.
Turn Unused Garage Space Into a Room You’ll Actually Use
Most garages end up holding bikes, boxes and things you meant to sort months ago. Converting that space gives you a proper room, whether it’s a home office, playroom or extra bedroom, without the cost or disruption of building an extension from scratch. Some homeowners want a straightforward conversion of the space they already have. Others need more room than the existing garage offers and opt for a garage extension, or a double garage extension where two bays are involved.
Whatever the scope, the process involves more than knocking through a wall and laying some flooring. There’s planning, structural work, insulation, electrics and plumbing where needed, and finishing, all of which need to come together properly for the space to work as a genuine room rather than a converted shell.
That’s where IVCG comes in. As your single point of contact, IVCG manages and coordinates the whole project end to end, from that first conversation about layout right through to the final finish. You’re not left juggling separate tradespeople or chasing updates, you deal with one team who keep things moving and keep you informed.
Your Garage Conversion, Start to Finish
Design & Planning Consultation
We start by talking through how you want to use the new space, whether that’s a simple garage conversion or a garage extension to the side of the house for extra room. From there, we agree on layout, finishes and what’s realistic for your budget before anything is booked in.
Planning Permission Guidance
Not every garage conversion needs planning permission, but the rules depend on the specifics of your property. We advise on what is and isn’t exempt for a garage conversion or extension in Ireland, so you know exactly where you stand before work begins.
Structural Work & Insulation
Any structural work needed to bring the space up to standard is carried out properly, along with insulation and damp proofing. This is what turns a cold, uninsulated garage into a room that actually holds heat and feels part of the house.
Electrical & Plumbing Integration
If the new space needs wiring, lighting or plumbing, our team fits it as part of the project. That means the room works as intended from day one, rather than being a converted shell with none of the services a proper room needs.
Flooring & Wall Finishes
Flooring and internal finishes are completed to match the rest of your home, so the new space doesn’t feel like an afterthought stuck onto the side of the house.
Finishing Touches
We finish with the final details and a full snag before handover, so the room is genuinely ready to use, not just close to it.
