Hi all, as spring/summer approaches, I want to get my head straight on how to tackle my goal of insulating my garage/general improvements to make it a more habitable place in the colder months.
Below is an image of how it looked before we moved in:
My main issue is the roof. Is just corrugated sheets (probably with asbestos in) which I don't think need replacing. There aren't any leaks that I'm aware of.
My main questions are:
Can I install some insulation in the roof?
What will I need to do in order to do that (I.e additional roof beams for partitions to wedge the insulation in)???
I want to replace windows too / brick up the two that are facing my neighbours gardens (on the left of the image)
Also want to replace the big garage door. But not sure what with yet. (Upgrade current style or get double doors)....
It's about 10metres long.
The roof is my biggest priority, but the windows I want bricked up seem to sit right under the beams that run the length of the garage. Not sure what I'll need to do about them.
So, anyone embarked on this before? Is it worth tackling by myself (fairly competent DIY'er with a mate who is just as capable/probably moreso!).
