Your scope of work
Know what you are asking us to change.
- Floor preparation and suitable finishes
- Lighting and electrical coordination
- Storage and wall treatments
- Assessment for additional living or leisure use
Make a garage work for vehicles, storage, a collection or another permitted use, with a practical finish and considered lighting.
What we assess before specifying the work
Check moisture, loading, ventilation, fire separation and access. A change of use may require technical assessment and permissions. Coatings and charging equipment depend on substrate, system specifications and qualified installation.
Defined separately, never assumed
A change of use, structural work, charging equipment, supply upgrades and specialist approvals are included only as defined in the proposal.
The signed proposal sets the actual inclusions. A service list is not a quotation.
Make it yours
The choices that make the difference.
Choose the complete floor system
Assess the slab, cracks and moisture before selecting a coating or surface finish for the actual traffic.
Integrate lighting and storage
Coordinate parking clearances, cabinets, wall treatments, light positions and the available electrical supply.

Before you commit
A budget you can understand. A programme you can follow.
What affects the cost?
Floor preparation and repairs, the specified coating system, storage, lighting, ventilation and any electrical upgrades determine the scope. EV equipment requires assessment of the actual supply and an appropriately qualified installation.
What affects the timing?
The floor system has its own preparation, application and return-to-service conditions. We agree storage removal, installation order and when vehicles may return from the actual specification; no universal rapid completion promise applies.
What your proposal should make clear
- The defined work and itemised allowances
- Materials, quantities and selection assumptions
- Taxes, exclusions and separately commissioned services
- Payment milestones and the process for approving changes
Living through the work

Vehicles and stored items may need to leave the working area. We discuss access to the house, dust separation and ventilation arrangements according to the preparation method and products.

Before your project begins
How much will this renovation cost?
Floor preparation and repairs, the specified coating system, storage, lighting, ventilation and any electrical upgrades determine the scope. EV equipment requires assessment of the actual supply and an appropriately qualified installation.
How long will the work take?
The floor system has its own preparation, application and return-to-service conditions. We agree storage removal, installation order and when vehicles may return from the actual specification; no universal rapid completion promise applies.
Can I keep living in the property?
Vehicles and stored items may need to leave the working area. We discuss access to the house, dust separation and ventilation arrangements according to the preparation method and products.
Can you help me choose materials and finishes?
Yes. We compare the relevant options, samples, maintenance and lead times with you. Selections and their cost implications are documented; the proposal defines the design and consultation services included.
Can I renovate while living abroad?
Yes. We agree a named contact, access, reporting and written approvals. Some decisions require physical samples or professional inspections at the property.
What if we discover additional work?
We explain the finding, proposed response, cost and schedule implications before seeking written approval. The project agreement defines how urgent protective work is handled.
