home salon installation cost
I'm a hairdresser going self employed and want to convert our garage into a small salon. one chair, a backwash basin and decent lighting. Plumbing and electrics would need running from the house. What sort of overall budget should I be looking at?
Expert Trade Answers
"Hi, thanks for the details. For a small one-chair salon with a backwash basin, decent lighting, plumbing and electrics running from the house, I’d expect the overall conversion to be roughly £9,000–£12,000, assuming the garage is structurally sound and there aren’t any major drainage or electrical complications.
The final cost would depend on the current condition of the garage, the distance between the garage and house, how the water and waste can be connected, the electrical supply, insulation/heating and the level of finish you’re looking for.
If you can send me a few photos of the garage, ideally showing the inside, outside and its position relative to the house, I can give you a more accurate idea of the likely cost."
