Looking for some advice on creating a utility room in the end of my garage. The garage is attached to the house, with access from the kitchen, directly into the garage. The garage floor level is lower than the ffl of the house.
Now, I want to create the utility room by forming an area with plasterboard partitions. The wall between the garage and the house I guess won't be an issue? The Wall at the rear of the garage appears to be single brick on the outside, with block on the inside. The other wall is a single course of brickwork.
I want to build a partition wall using timber, within the existing walls. What do I need to do with regards to insulation and DPM?
Also, I would like to tile the floor. Can I do this directly onto the concrete floor? Even if I can, is it advisable? I can only raise the floor a maximum of 50mm due to the double glazed door at the rear of the garage, so I'm limited for what I could do. Any ideas?
thanks in advance
