Looking at building a garage, and the quotes I'm getting are well off. I've watched a few DIY videos on You Tube, but don't think I'm up to that sort of work. Has anyone on here done something similar?
How much are the quotes?
From £12500 t0 £27,000!
£12k probably not far off what it cost you in all honesty.
Caveat that - £12k a fair quote for someone to do it
To the roof will be easy enough but wouldn’t attempt that myself
12k is decent, it'll put that on the value of your house the day the builders finish, although it depends on the build quality, materials used etc. I think that a garage needs to be double skin block work these days, is it a pitched roof etc, even the quality of the garage door, some of the standard doors are shit, the springs go quite early. If it's joining your existing property then fire regs will come in to play. Find out what you're getting for your money and make sure it's up to regs.

What kind of garage? Attached to your house? Or a stand-alone structure?
Don’t forget the “build me up buttercup”
Massive mistake building it in single skin, false economy. Good quality build, cavity wall, insulation, appropriate dpc to walls, membrane underneath floor, decent roof construction and waterproofing....do it properly if you can afford it. Single skin is more of a massive no no if it’s used for storage, your lovely garden furniture stored away leaning on a single skin for the winter will see you dropping it over Lamby Way tip come the Spring and you forking out for new stuff to replace it. Cavity wall, insulation, decent roof, adequate ventilation makes sense.
From timber, yes. Two. Key thing is a brick wall at least 3 courses high and build off that; and ventilation between the breather membrane and the cladding. What's the footprint?
Have you considered a container .
I just bought one to put my old mini in .
It is in my yard rather than my garden though
If you are local get Steve to build you one (Splott Parker)
I've been offered a VERY nice '67 Beetle, but don't have anywhere to keep it at present, hence thinking about building a garage. Used to drive various old VWs in the past - some of you may remember the green and yellow '72 I used to leave around Canton.
