Do these fitted garage type companies not end up really expensive compared to uning a moderate kitchen units?
I'm still waiting on a reply to my enquiry on concrete polishing........
I did a Dura quote once, it came to more £'s than the value of my two cars...!I'm still waiting on a reply to my enquiry on concrete polishing........
I used Big Doug in the end...
I'll be starting on my new garage soon, only just bought the house and garage, it's in a state though, any suggestions on what I should do with it are welcome.
It has an outside oil storage tank at the back for an oil heating boiler, I'll be removing this tank, then I should have enough space to make a tool room or an office.

What's your budget? I'd probably have a thin insulated layer and board up the walls, then paint everything, tile the floor, and get a good workstation going in the corner. How many cars do you want to keep in it on a permanent basis? Doesn't look particularly suitable for keeping two and expecting breathing room.

It would only house two cars, nothing else, I have another out building for all the other stuff. I want to have, good lighting, a built in dehumidifier, heating, and a better tight fit on the doors, I will replace I think. The Elise and Mini will go in there easy. £2k budget.markCSC said:
If it was me the first thing I would do would be to stick a RSJ above the doors and install a single door. That way if you ever to work on a car you can stick it in the middle without shunting back and forth
Good point! nice one, it must be a cheaper way too, rather than two doors and two costs.markCSC said:

Budget, vapourised............£2k leaves you basically in the middle of 'a bit of a tidy up' and 'doing it properly'
so you are either looking at £200 paint and a brush or a bit of saving up.

I'm not a fan of 4 posts, take up too much room and restrict your work access. Get a wee scissor lift and keep the roof for storage.
seconded.... here mine with a scissor lift. it looks to be roughly the same size, I can still get two cars in....
