If you are planning to demolish your old garage and you need a cost-effective replacement for it then you should research concrete garages. It’s fairly easy to build a concrete garage and there are various types of finishes to choose from, such as rock stone, brick or spar.

Before building a concrete garage, you need to decide what you’re intending to use it for- this will determine the shape, size and style of the building. There are many uses for concrete garages- in addition to storing your car.

Questions you should ask yourself before choosing a concrete garage:

• Does your building need to be lined? (this is important if you intend on using it as office, gym or a play room)
• Do you require space to install appliances such as freezers and washing machines?
• Will you be storing large items such as lawnmowers, exercise equipment, ladders and garden furniture?
• Will you need to store tools for mechanical repairs?

Do you need permission to build concrete garages?

In the UK, you do not generally require approval from your local authority, although you do need to contact them and get this in writing, just to be on the safe side.

Concrete garages are available in a range of finishes and styles, so you’re sure to find one that is suitable.
