Seb Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Been trying to find out some costs but can't find anywhere that will give even a rough quote. Basically was thinking of getting a brick lean-to garage built, about 9' x 20', but was hoping someone might be able to give an approximate cost before I go ringing around and find out it's far too expensive. Any help much appreciated, thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I had a garage/summerhouse built if that's any help? Used breeze-block type bricks and then rendered the outside. Got a 8ft garage roller door from ebay £150, and the windows/doors i got from wickes using a 20% voucher code thats readily available on the net. Once it was all buil, i had it all plasterboarded in side, skirting board added, and a couple of coats of paint. Total cost was about £5-6k. Size was 19ft x 22ft. Here's some pics when it was being built: http://tripkings.co.uk/garage/ - haven't got any finished ones.. :-( Before i had it built though i had quotes of 24k, 13k and 9k. Not sure if that helps you much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Cool, thanks for that, gives me a rough idea of what to aim for. Did you just get a builder to do it for you or did you track down some sort of garage specialist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(is there 3 sides to be built or 4 sides?) if attatched you will need proper footing and they cost, if its detached then you can build it from a raft and it will be cheaper. Is it block built and rendered/dashed or brick built, if brick what type of bricks? What type of garage door do you want? barn doors are cheap and roller electric are expensive. Is it a pitched tiled roof? hipped or gable end or are you thinking of a felt flat roof? Any windows or doors in it? feel free to give me a call for any advise mate.

Gerry Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm sure JamieP would hate this idea, but when we had a wooden garage burn down we replaced it with a Compton bricktastic one. http://www.comptonbuildings.co.uk/Concrete+Garages/Premier+Brick+Garages+Range/Garages.chtml?intProductID=26 It was cheaper than wood !, lots cheaper than brick and put up in a morning ! From the road it looks brick and the warranty is 100% (they replaced the whole roof after about three years as it cracked. Think they do lean too's as well.

Seb Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 I had a look at those types of garages from a company called Garage Quotes and I think I'd be looking at roughly £2k+ for one of their lean tos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 about 9' x 20', Do you aim to work on the car inside the garage? 2750mm wide, minus the wall thickness will give you essentially the same width as a supermarket car park bay, you'll not be able to open the doors much. Any scope to make it wider or is it up to the boundary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 It's actually to replace the existing garage and that's all the space there is so there's really no way of making it any bigger unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
