What are the foundation requirements for a double garage conversion in Bedfordshire?

Foundations for a double garage conversion in Bedfordshire depend on the existing garage structure, because garage foundations are often shallower than those of the main house. Building Control will assess them and may require reinforcement where the loads change, for example when the garage door opening is infilled with a new load-bearing wall. Any new walls need adequate foundations tied into the existing structure. We check the foundations and structural details early, so there are no surprises once work is underway. If you are weighing your options, our guide on garage extension vs conversion explains the structural differences, and you can see the full scope of a double garage conversion here.
