Hey there, I'm after some advice on replacing the roof on our block-built double garage. The existing roof appears to be constructed of Tin Corrugated sheets, which have well and truly had their time, with lots of holes all over the place. The roof is approx 4.8m at the widest point x 6m...

I am in the process of getting my garage converted. The floor will have have a DPM, 100mm insulation and then chipboard on top. I am intending to lay an engineered wood floor over the top. Given that there is already a membrane and insulation, do I still need to get underlay for the engineered...

I need to replace my wooden garage doors and thought I'd replace the frame at the same time. However looking at them I'm wondering if there is a lintel or is there reliance on the wooden frame. The house was built in 1935 and originally above the garage there was a non full height storage...

I've got an open plan double garage approx 5m across by 5m deep and want to create some storage up in the roof. The existing roof support doesn't look like it could take much more weight, and I'm not convinced I want to test it out :(:(:( I'm particularly anxious about the large 5m garage width...

Hi there I'm thinking of boarding out part of my single garage (3 metres wide) loft to create storage space and could do with some advice please, to check my research. The existing ceiling joists look very flimsy so my initial plan is to install new joists just above, but separate to, the...

I'm looking to insulate my 1950s detached garage. I thought I'd start on the roof by fixing some 100mm Celotex directly on top of the joists. My main concern is about ventilation / moisture issues, which I have to say I'm not too clued up on. From reading around there seems to be lots of...

Under permitted development, can we knock down the existing detached garage (1metre to the side of the house, fronting street) and attach it to the house, thus adding the current 1metre path to the garage footprint? We will also be changing the pitched garage roof to a flat roof, in-keeping with...

I am looking for a bit of advice around our garage roof and structure in general. We have a larger than average sized single skin detached garage at the bottom of our garden which currently has an asbestos roof which we are looking to remove. (I know un-disturbed this is ok, but this is just...

Just wondered what type of cost id be looking at to make a basic hallway from the house side door to the detached garage? Its about 4m in length and would want about 1.5 metres wide. So it runs along side of house then and wouldnt need to knock anything down. Im thinking of buying a house which...

Struggling to find information on reverting a room back to it's original integral garage format. We are looking into purchasing this UK-based property and we're trying to understand whether this is a simple/achievable task or whether we'd be wasting our time. Property is a bungalow with...

Hi all I've bought some celotex insulation to put up on the ceiling in my garage but I'm not quite sure on the ventilation. I want to place the whole sheets underneath the joists to seal the roof structure from the garage room. This is a cold roof configuration I understand. I'm not living in...
