Will converting my single garage into a playroom affect my home insurance in Bedfordshire?

Yes, it can, so it is worth telling your insurer at two points. Before work starts, notify your home insurance provider, because major building works are usually excluded from a standard policy and can affect your cover while the house is a building site; you may need cover for the works, and your builder should carry their own public liability insurance. Once the playroom is finished, tell your insurer again, because the extra habitable room raises your home’s rebuild value, which can nudge the premium up. Keeping the building control completion certificate matters too, as insurers may query claims on conversions that were never signed off. We work to full building regulations and provide the paperwork. For ideas, see our garage playroom guide, or arrange a free consultation.
