Dave · Answer

For converting an existing garage into a small one-chair hair salon, I would initially suggest allowing a broad budget of around £10,000–£20,000, although this can vary considerably depending on the existing garage and the standard of finish required.

The main costs are likely to include insulating and lining the garage, flooring, heating and ventilation, lighting and electrical alterations, hot and cold water supplies, waste for the backwash basin, plastering/decorating and any alterations required to the garage door, windows or access.

Because this would be used as a business premises, I would also check with your local authority regarding planning/change of use and Building Regulations requirements before starting work. Electrical work and drainage also need to be properly designed for the intended commercial use.

If the garage is already dry, structurally sound and has suitable services nearby, the conversion can be considerably more straightforward. A site visit would really be needed before anyone could give you an accurate estimate.

Kind regards,

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.

Oliver · Answer

Partly depends on whether garage is single of double skin brickwork. Assuming double skin the walls and ceiling would be insulated and dry lined plasterboard and skimmed plastered over plasterboard. Old garage doors already removed and bricked up approximately halfway and brought in on sides to receive a upvc DG windows approx 1200mmx 1000mm.. Raised Joists and flooring boards fitted and possibly new Fire rated door and frame fitted. Electric and plumbing would have all been 1st fix run before plastering..and now final fix connections carried out. 
All joinery and units fitted now inc skirting boards ready for painting and a carpet or laminate floor. Guide priced from  £7250 to £10,000...for small contractor.

Hi Pete, Its difficult to estimate costs as its unknown  where the pipework for the wash basin would be run from this is for both the waste pipe and hot and hold feeds unless you install a electric shower unit then you will only require a cold water feed. There are many other aspects that must be considered when estimating, however I would give a ballpark figure of £15k.
