Midland Garage Conversions (Midlands) Ltd

We would highly recommend Midland Garage Conversions to anyone considering converting a garage into a habitable room. When talking to company director Scott Leedham he took the time to listen to us to get a feel for what we wanted the room to look like and also made suggestions on the actual design from an aesthetic point of view. He produced a detailed quote including all the elements of the work to be carried out in order to meet the Building Regulations. This included applying for Building Regulations, putting in new doorways, installing windows, carpentry, bricklaying, full insulation, electrical work, plumbing and plastering. The conversion was project managed by Scott and completed by him and his highly professional team to agreed timescale, high standard and agreed costs . It was refreshing to see a company deliver what they promised without any hitches or surprises. In fact after completion we hired Ryan the carpenter to carry out some more door fitting throughout the ground floor of our house. A highly professional outfit. Mike & Yvonne

Scott and his team turned a garage that was barely used into the perfect playroom for our boys. Scott is professional, polite, hard-working and there was no stress or concerns on our side as they managed the entire project from start to finish. Everything was matched to the existing property from skirting boards to electrical fittings, windows and brickwork so you would think the room has always been there. We are extremely happy with our fabulous conversion and would highly recommend Midland Garage Conversions Ltd to anyone.

I consider myself good at, let’s say enhanced DIY projects, I am also a heating engineer so I have a good understanding of construction projects. I contacted this company to get some advice regarding a building control visit I had coming up regarding my garage conversion and to see if they would travel to the Isle of Wight. Unfortunately for me they have plenty of work where they are based, but that didn’t stop Scott providing that advice. As a result of his knowledge and advice, I was able to handle my first building control visit, which seemed a bit daunting due to their demands, with ease. Very quickly I was able discuss the requirements with and they agreed with my plan. Thanks Scott, you’re clearly an accomplished tradesman who takes pride in yours, and your teams work.

I've lived at my home address for over 50 years and in that time I've undertaken several developments to the property. Scott Leedham of Midland Garage Conversions and his team have surpassed many of the previous contractors. Scott saw the potential which had not been obvious to us and carried out the contract in a timely and completely professional manner, and overcame difficulties and additional problems to be solved arsing from a 100 year old house. We have no hesitation in recommending him unconditionally.

Just under 12 months ago Midland Garage Conversions completed our dream kitchen build and was finished brilliantly even with a few fraught moments brought on by COVID restrictions and supply problems. Well, we just needed to have the patio doors adjusted due to settlement after 12 months and contacted Scott who arranged to come over ASAP. He soon sorted the problem and also spent time going over the previous work and giving us excellent advice for the future. Scott is a great bloke always willing to help and highly professional in his work and attention to detail. After now living with our kitchen extension for 12 months the works still look brand new and you can see no corners were cut. Building Control signed off the works with no problem and all electrical works were certified to current IEE regs. I can’t praise MGC and Scott enough and would recommend them to anyone.

I spent months looking around for local builders or company's like Scott's to complete a Garage Conversion but decided on Midland Garage Conversions after reviewing his customer testimonials, his website and after Scott set aside a 30-minute phone call to answer all my questions. It was never a straightforward conversion as we really wanted an arch knocking through an old doorway bricking up but neither of which was an issue for his team. If you don't have the time to arrange a builder, plasterer, plumber, electrician and all other specialist trades you need for this job because you have a career and kids like me then I really recommend that you chose Scott and his team. 2 weeks is all it took with absolutely no impact to our regular day to day life. Scott was available day and night via text, email or phone call if I had any queries or concerns and nothing was ever too much trouble. All of his tradesmen were the loveliest guys and guaranteed to make you laugh! The finish of every aspect of the job is impeccable and we couldn't be happier. These guys are the best of the best.

Choosing Midland Garage Conversions (MGC) to convert our garage into an office and utility room was one of my better decisions. Having previously been plagued by a host of tradesmen who were long on promises but short on action, Scott from MGC was a breath of fresh air. He assured me that what I wanted was OK and we agreed the price. Scott gave me a start date, work schedule and completion date and with the promise of "Leave the rest to me" it all started to happen. The week before work was due to start the relevant permits for the job arrived on the doormat. On the day work was to start Scott & the boys were at the bottom of the drive waiting for the appointed hour to start work. They started work on-time, worked all day like Trojans, and cleaned-up before they went home. This set the tone for the next 3 weeks during which the vision that was initially in my head appeared on the drive. As others have testified, the quality of the work was/is outstanding; but it was much more than the basics, it was the “can do” attitude backed by a willingness to go the extra mile... Before work started, Scott temporarily plumbed-in the washing machine/dryer under the car port so we could continue to wash clothes during the conversion. When the suppliers of the kitchen units let us down with less than 1 hours’ notice, Scott sourced alternative units and had them installed within 48 hours. Would I recommend MGC? In my opinion, you’d be foolish to go anywhere else.

I am sat here writing this in my new kitchen-diner,just over 2 weeks after Scott and his workmen initially undertook our conversion ...... We wanted to incorporate our garage into the house,mainly because it was so cold in there ,but we were otherwise open minded about what we wanted to turn it into .Having been let down by other companies ,we were immediately put at ease by Scott's attentive,friendly,informative ( but not patronising) manner . The fact this company only do garage conversions means that they deal with the building regulations, and seem able to overcome most problems that as a lay person may seem insurmountable. From receiving the quote and once we had decided to use them ,Scott has been helpful ,kind, patient and pleasant to deal with .The work came in on budget and any problems that did arise were quickly sorted. We even had a family situation going on for the duration of our work,Scott and all the people who came from the company were really sensitive to this . After the initial quote ,which was going to turn the garage into a reception/utility room,I had a change of mind.Scott came to see us to discuss this change and reassured me it was possible. We have ended up with a kitchen diner that we are thrilled with !!

My wife and I were looking to convert our garage space to a home office, with the complication of removing a half-bathroom/utility conversion that had been done poorly by the previous owner. Scott was first to quote, and although he wasn’t the cheapest there wasn’t much in it and his quote was very detailed and left nothing to guesswork. He was quick to respond to any queries we had in the run-up to the start date, and even started a few weeks earlier than expected! All of the work was completed to a professional standard - you could see that Scott’s attention to detail stops him from “signing off” on a job until he’s happy with it. We changed our minds on a few minor things during the work (number of power sockets etc) and Scott was always happy to go with it, and offered advice of his own to help. Building contractors have a reputation of being a bit dodgy or scammy, I didn’t get that feeling from Scott or any of his colleagues at any time - no sales talk, no bull, just honest and clear advice (especially when it came to sorting out the mess of pipe works in the existing dodgy conversion!) We’re super happy with the work, it’s made a huge difference to COVID home working, and I’d recommend Scott and co. to anyone looking for a garage conversion.

We used Midland Garage Conversions when we had enough of working from home and needed to claim back our dinning room for its original purpose They made the process simple from start to finish and dealt with any concerns quickly and allayed any fears we had. All works completed on time and when the only issue we faced happened (a faulty automatic garage door we added to the works) Scott dealt with company direct for us, arranged new parts and returned at a later date to fix. Site was left clean and tidy at the end of each day and the garage was able to be secured every night. Worth knowing in these interesting times we felt Covid safe and secure at all times. They did a faultless job and we now have a lovely three desk office and have still retained about 60% of our double garage for storage. We should have done it ages ago. A+
