We built a whole floor above a garage in West Moors, and turned the garage below into the best room in the house.
New bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Downstairs, the garage became a games room with a bar, darts and a 4-metre bifold onto the garden.
Two problems worth knowing about: the mains water flow measured just 12 litres a minute (not enough once another bathroom went on, so a new supply went in before first fix), and the 100-year-old roof had sagged, leaving an inch of mismatch where the new roof joined. We made good the step and told the client straight away.
Built up, not out, no garden lost.
