Hi
How difficult would it be to widen my garage by approx 1 metre? Alwo what sort of cost would I be looking at? Its joined on to the side of my house and is built with breeze block by the looks of it. There is a gate at the side into the garden but that area never sees the sun, is always damp, and is never used so I thought I could widen the garage to make use of the space and actually let me get my car in it.
Thanks

Im currently at work so have no pics, but got this from google maps. Just want to widen to allow my car to get in
 
Unfortunately you have a hedge that looks like leylandii, that means deep foundations.

Because its joined to the house it falls under building regs.

My guess is you would need to build a new garage from scratch

In that case, if a standard footing is acceptable, the job is quite straightfoward, assuming no drainage or other issues.

Im sure a builder will be along to give you some indication on costs.
