The standard spec

What goes into every build

Each conversion shares the same solid spec, then gets the options that fit the way you’ll use it.

Beneath the finish

The standard spec

Whatever you choose, every conversion starts from the same solid spec. This is what separates a room you’ll love from a chilly steel box.

Insulation

Insulated through the walls, floor and ceiling, with draughts sealed out, so you can use it in any season.

Lining and finish

Lined in ply or moisture-resistant board and painted in your colours, so it feels like a proper room.

Electrics

Consumer unit, LED lights and sockets, all wired to Part P.

Flooring

Rubber, vinyl or engineered flooring, picked to suit what the room is for.

Glazing

Secure personnel doors and double-glazed windows come as standard.

The steel shell

Strong, secure and weather-tight, and covered by our 25-year structural guarantee.

We’ll help you pick a size that suits both the job and the spot it’s going in.

10ft

≈ 7 m² internal

Small gym, storage, garden bar or studio annexe.

20ft
