Barn Conversions
Wayne Mills Construction offer affordable and reliable barn conversion services throughout Suffolk and nearby areas.
Barn conversions are nothing new, with a decline in UK agriculture in the 1950s leading to many derelict barns that quickly fell into disrepair. Given the size of these barns and the potential increase in living space they offered, barn conversions became hugely poplar over the past 30-40 years.
Sadly, many of the conversions were low quality. A lack of strict planning rules meant that conversions retained little of the original architecture and construction, ruining the overall appearance to the point were new laws were introduced to help maintain the original quality of these old barns.
Today, barn conversions are completed to the highest possible standards. We meticulously plan every aspect of the barn conversion to ensure that the aesthetic and character of the original structure remains intact. With our help, you can convert your bran into a whole new living area fit for modern life while maintaining the unique aesthetic that makes the barn so appealing.
Advantages of a Barn Conversion
Given the size and scope of a barn conversion, many are unsure whether the project is worth the time and effort. While it is certainly not an easy undertaking, the fact remains that a barn conversion is an investment that pays off by adding significant value to the property.
Moreover, you benefit from a new living space that is designed to your exact requirements. It doesn’t need to be an extravagant conversion that turns it into a beautiful country cottage either, as you may want to turn the space into a modern amenity like a personal gym, home office, or recording studio.
No matter what you want to create from your converted barn, we are here to help your vision become a reality.
What to Expect from a WMC Barn Conversion?
We start every conversion project with a survey of the barn and a discussion about your goals from the conversion. This allows us to identify the type of conversion you need, including what rooms you wish to add and the overall style you want to achieve.
For many, capturing the traditional aesthetic of a barn while making it suitable for modern-day living is a popular option. Some want to completely renovate the barn, converting it from a dated structure to a contemporary living space with all the modern fixtures like underfloor heating, skylights, and brand-new kitchen.
Regardless, we are here to make sure you get exactly what you want from the barn conversion. Once we know what this is, we start the planning and design process, finishing off with the final construction.
Each tradesperson is an expert in their field, converting the barn from an old building into a modern living area. All aspects of the conversion are completed during the project, including plumbing, electrics, heating, plastering, flooring, and decorating.
Want a kitchen or bathroom fitted inside the barn conversion? We can do that too. No matter what you need from your barn conversion we have got you covered.
