How much to convert a shed into living space?

Question

There's a big sturdy shed at the bottom of our garden and I'd love to turn it into a proper annexe for guests. What kind of costs are we talking?

John · Answer

Well it is definitely possible, I would need to take a look to be able to assess the cost.
I would be willing to visit and offer a no obligation quote for the work.

Its difficult to be exactly right without a survey, but if you allow £9500 to £14500 this could be a basic good habitable annexe, carried out by a Carpenter and Joiner sole trader type...with the electrical work farmed out to an electrician. This is based on a log cabin effect. More spec finishing like plastering and adding windows would increase the price.  Hope this helps

Hello there

In theory should be quite straightforward, but main concerns obviously around services, building integrity/strength, damp and humidity control, insulation, heating, fenestration and security.

Costs would depend on the size l, services available and proximity to the house. Detailing and finishing quality will elevate the space and give it the feel of an annexe and not a converted shed!

In terms of £/m³ you should be thinking it's easily possible to require £500/m³ especially if your looking for self containment.

Hard to be more accurate without a visit and discussion.

Hi Adam

I would say in the region of 14k to have it comfortable transformed.

Hiya it all depends on your exact needs and size , but realistically it should cost 6k+ best bet would be to measure , take a few pics and then a more accurate estimate could be done .
