Garage/Workshop in Plymouth area

[Rollcage]

My car collection is getting too large for my garage and street, so I'm on the lookout for either a workshop or a barn to rent or share so I can indulge myself and not have to keep moving cars around constantly.

I've looked at a place at Blagdon Meadow in Plymouth, but it's not open hours that would suit me. (Not that I'll be making a racket at midnight - or at any time!)

If anybody has or knows anyone who has anything suitable I'd be interested - contact me on here or via PM.

Cheers

How much space do you need?

There are usually some double garages to rent on Gumtree, or phone theestate/letting agents along Mutley Plain, Smeaton homes had several last time I looked.

If you're prepared to travel and need something larger, then some out of town light industrial units can be surprisingly cheap, about £100-£150/week.

Also try the council...

Another possibility is the ground floor of some of the empty flats and developments. These are asking quite a lot of money, but you'd be surprised at what people will accept to get something in there to look pretty, especially a few nice cars to give some prestige to the block. You'd be on short notice but it is worth a phone call. The problem might be insurance for anything combustable!

If you find somewhere too large, drop me a line and I might want to share.

Thanks for the reply.

My little assortment of cars isn't the sort that's likely to improve an area overly much, unless it was a scrapyard!

I guess what I really need is a barn somewhere, though the Industrial units look ideal, but I couldn't justify £150 a week for one.

Used to have a barn on an old farm a few years ago, but the guy got a bit greedy and upset a few people, A pity, as it was ideal otherwise.

If you're just after somewhere offroad, there's Dainton out at Lee Mill, another one just off the A38 near trago near Newton Abbot, Ocean in South Brent, and a posh place in Saltash.

If you're not bothered about them being outside, caravan storage places charge about £30/month.

Did you have any luck finding a workshop?
I'm looking for a small workshop space or a corner of a large workshop as I am wanting to get my porting business off the ground. I have found one potential site near Landrake.
