Project Overview

The washing machine, dryer and boot clutter were taking over this family's kitchen. Converting the integral garage into a dedicated utility room was the practical answer.

We designed the space around how the household really works: a long run of cabinets, worktop space for folding, a deep sink, and a back door route for muddy boots and dogs.

The Brief

Move laundry and storage out of the kitchen, add a proper boot and coat area, and keep the new room visually in tune with the rest of the house.

The Challenge

Utility rooms need reliable plumbing, waste, ventilation and electrics. Bringing water and drainage into a former garage while keeping the floor level and insulation intact required careful planning.

How We Built It

What We Did, Step By Step

1. Layout planning

Appliance positions, sink, cabinets and storage were drawn up so plumbing and sockets could be placed correctly first time.

2. First-fix services

Water, waste, electrics and ventilation installed before the walls were closed and plastered.

3. Insulation & finishing

Insulated envelope, plaster, tiled flooring and neat decoration.

4. Cabinetry & handover

Fitted units and worktops installed, appliances connected and everything tested before sign-off.

Project Highlights

  • Washing machine and dryer plumbed and vented
  • Deep utility sink with hot and cold water
  • Floor-to-ceiling storage cabinets
  • Easy-clean tiled flooring
  • Extractor ventilation to prevent damp
  • Direct garden access
