Can anyone recommend an alarm I can install in my garage?
Discussion
It's what I do for a living. If your'e looking for something for a garage, you will need quad pir's, they're specifically designed for garages etc where draughts are likely, if you put normal pir's in, you'll likely end up with false alarms.
What size garage is it? What type of door/s etc?
On the presumption it's a typical double garage with 2 up & over doors, I'd recommend a heavy duty contact on each door and even a pir (Pyronix KX15DQ) for extra protection, a basic control panel (ADE Optima Compact) and an external sounder should suffice, parts should be readily available from the likes of City Electrical Factors or even Screwfix

Hi
It's definitely likely to have a breeze in it.
It's an old pre-fab concrete garage, detatched at the bottom of the garden (width of the plot). It's a small double with a single entrance comprising of wooden doors that open outwards.
There is a courtesy door into the garden/rear of house.
There is a single window.
I was thinking a contact on each door, plus a PIR in case the window gets breached (although this seems unlikely, as it's faced into the garden but anything is possible).
Reckon I can get away without a PIR and put some kind of smash sensor on the window?
I want an alarm siren on the outside wall of the garage, somewhere where it's hard for the theives to shut it down but easy for the neighbours to hear!
ultimately my only power is a 2 power RCD/socket so if they are wise enough they can shut it down - can I gget something with battery backup???
Many thanks
