At Silo Facilities Management Ltd, we specialise in converting redundant steel grain silos into practical, weatherproof and usable buildings. From holiday lets and farm shops to offices, workshops and garden rooms, we can transform an existing silo into a functional space with an entirely new purpose, whilst retaining its distinctive circular design.
With extensive experience in servicing, repairing, coating and dismantling silos for food, feed and grain producers across the UK, our team has the specialist knowledge required to undertake silo conversion projects. Each existing structure is surveyed, cleaned, strengthened and re-clad to a carefully prepared design, ensuring the conversion is suited to its intended use.
Our silo conversion services provide an opportunity for farm diversification, allowing existing agricultural structures to be repurposed rather than removed. By making use of a silo already standing on its base, clients can create additional usable space or explore new income opportunities whilst avoiding unnecessary dismantling and scrap costs.
A summary of our silo conversion services includes:
Holiday lets and glamping accommodation
Farm shops, cafés and retail spaces
Farm offices and insulated workspaces

At Silo Facilities Management Ltd, we offer a complete conversion service, from the initial site visit through to the completed structure. Our process begins with a free site visit and feasibility check, during which we inspect the existing silo, its base and site access.
Following this assessment, we prepare drawings to suit the proposed use alongside a fixed written quotation. The conversion process can then involve cleaning, strengthening, creating new openings, installing glazing, re-cladding and fitting a steel-framed entrance porch.
Once completed, we provide a weathertight structure ready for further internal fitting out, either by the client or by our team.
Our proposed conversion designs also include single and twin silo residential layouts. These demonstrate how existing grain silos can be adapted into accommodation featuring living areas, kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms, subject to the necessary structural design and approvals.
Converting an existing grain silo offers a distinctive alternative to constructing an entirely new building. With the original structure already in place, a conversion can provide a practical starting point for creating additional space or developing new business opportunities.
Our typical conversion specification is based on a silo approximately 6.4 metres in diameter, providing around 32m² of floor space per level. Features can include corrugated sheet cladding, framed windows, a conical roof with a circular glazed roof light and a steel-framed entrance.
All projects are assessed individually, with costs depending on the silo’s size, condition and required finish. Planning permission and Building Regulations are the client’s responsibility, although we can provide drawings to support the application process.
At Silo Facilities Management Ltd, our experience working with grain silos allows us to offer a specialist service, taking projects from the initial survey and design through to conversion and handover.
