Hi all.
Bit of advice please. I have a garage that is 5.6m x 5.6m x 2.5m high (to the wooden beams then a pitched roof above) built with a single skin of 9" bricks on a concrete base. It already has a seperate uPVC door and window (although I am going to fit a new one that is 2020mm long, what would you suggest I need to use to support above?).
I want to convert it into a games room, with a multi gym, probably a pool table and a TV with a Wii.
Before I do anything else I need to get the door off and employ a bricky to brick up the hole. (@£1300)
After that (and here is where any and all advice would be appreciated) is I intend to batten out the walls and ceiling, fill in between with insulating materials and plaster board over the top. I intend to fit a loft ladder and chip board out the 'loft' of the garage. Finally a DPM cover onto the concrete floor and screed it. (plus down lighters and wall sockets).
I have been quoted £850 for all the materials (except to do the floor/lights and electrics) this is for ISOVER 50mm Cavity wall insulation and ISOVER 100mm Roll ceiling insulation.
Is this insulation enough?
Additionally is what I am doing to the floor to insulate it enough as it is a concrete base?
Must say I am very much a novice and have had a quote of £3300 for a builder to do all the above (using the same materials) and another has quoted £5300 but using more expensive insulation materials (rolls straight onto walls then batten on top so no loss of heat apparently).
So not quite sure what to do, any ideas please?
Many thanks
