Looking to have a brick garage built (could be swayed by timber if I put up a wall behind it for privicy/protection.)
I have a single Joint garage at the moment (common wall with neighbour) but want to extend it back and to the side so its 1+1/2 size width and same on length. would be easiest to knock it down and damp proof neighbours wall then build a fresh structure.
I had one company come round and say they couldnt do it another who wanted £25k (welshes) and a hobo who never got back to me.
I would be happy to keep it a flat roof so I dont steal too much of the neighbours veiw.
My garden is huge so will also save on the lawnmower petrol lol.
Any contacts people could give would be great.
Budget £10K already has water pipes and elecy so easy enough to stick a few strip lights up.
Need to space so I can move an engine crane in and out of the front of my car and build an engine (well try)
Cheers

Difficult to comment without a picture, is it a Marley style garage, sharing the same roof? If you could , I would be tempted to knock down the existing structure, and if your garden is that big, stick it in the corner of the garden as big as you can. A low pitched roof would be better as well. £10k budget is well within reach, I built a 8.5x8.5m double about 8 years ago for less than that. The only tradesmen I used was a brickie and a plasterer, I put up the roof trusses and tiled it myself. I'm in ayrshire and can give you a set of plans easily enough.

Cheers

about 20 years ago we got shot of a galvanised steel and asbestos roof garage and replaced it with a brick/breezeblock one. cost about 3k for the garage and a few hundred for the electrics. guy we used is retired but there is another builder i would reccomend, pat breen of breen roofing and building, he built a neighbours garage and it has stood the test of time well. website and contacts http://www.breen-roofing.co.uk/ i have known pat all my life and he is a good bloke, does a proper job, had re-roofed almost every church in north ayrshire. give him a phone or e-mail and say you found him via big alan fae ardrossan

Cheers guys thanks for the help, will give your builder a phone, had drawn some basic plans up and could use Google sketch up to make 3d drawing. Obviously it will be next year now due to the weather changing but would like to have any planning done and permission sent in soonish.

Dunno whereabouts in Ayrshire you are but if East Ayrshire I'd recommend you get proper plans drawn up, should be cheap enough for a garage, cos EAC planning like nice plans, trust me, do all you can to make life easier for you...
