Garage Conversions in Welwyn Garden City
One of the two original garden cities, laid out in the 1920s with a distinctive neo-Georgian character. Welwyn Garden City was laid out in the 1920s and much of the original town is neo-Georgian, with houses designed as groups, so changes to the roofline are visible.
Garden city garages are usually part of the original design, so it is worth checking for any conditions. Garden city homes were designed as groups with a consistent roofline, so how a new roof extension looks from the street matters, as well as how it works inside. We offer a free survey and a clear written quote from the start.
