We have recently bought a property with a detached garage. Although it has a pitched roof, there are no joists (only rafters). I'm going to fit the joists and then board over them for some loft-type storage space of boxes etc.
A friend mentioned that because of the distance of the garage from the house then Building Regs will not apply.
The garage is 3m wide and 9m long. The roof pitch is 42 degrees. It's blockwork construction. It stands alongside the property at a distance of about 4m away. It's very close to our boundary (40cm). Next door have their detached garage roughly in line with ours, also about 40cm into their side of the boundary.
