We have an integral garage, and would like to: 1) Replace garage door with uPVC French Doors 2) Fit a stud wall (with door) in the middle, so the rear area can be storage and the front area can be somewhere to put the dogs For security, we would fit blinds/curtains and paint the walls/floor so...

Hi folks. Have a concrete garage floor that's showing signs of age in need of attention. Been putting it off for a while. Garage is used to park a car, and will continue to do so. As the pics show, floor is a little broken in places, has been patched here and there, surface crumbling...

I have a garage which is attached to the main house, this is being used as a utility room/storage area. Recently I noticed hard black ball shapes coming from the carpet, I looked into this and formed the opinion this was caused because of damp. I pulled up the thin carpet tiles and noticed that...

My bungalow is surrounded by a concrete hard standing which is in reasonably sound condition, but looks awful due to pitting and discolouration. If possible, I'd like to rejuvenate this existing surface rather than going to the trouble and expense of breaking up, digging out and laying new...

Hi..looking to cover up my dusty garage floor. Was goingt o paint it but i quite like the idea of those heavy duty mats or the interlocking tiles. Anyone kknow where i can get these for a reasonable price(most places seem to be charging in excess of£30 a sq Metre) Needs to be able to...

The front of my house has a garage with the second floor above the garage. The garage stick out about 12 feet from where the second floor starts so there is a roof over the garage. I need to paint the house above the garage but am unsure how I can reach this part. I have thought of nailing a...

I have a tarmac garage floor that gets very dusty and so I am thinking of painting it but have been told I cannot use just any old paint as it will react with the tarmac. Its not really a high traffic area and there will be no cars parked in there as its too narrow so what paint can I use ...

As per title, new build(ish) double garage floor has a few layers of paint build up over the several years it has been down. Overall it is in good condition, with a few small (but long) surface cracks - nothing I am too worried about. I am also not after 'perfection' only that the 2 part epoxy...

Depends on what it was painted with. Various chemicals react with others. My garage floor was done with a wickes garage floor paint but if I do it again I would use an epoxy paint As it is a gym you might be better with interlocking tiles as they are softer on the joints

My garage just used "wickes Garage Floor Paint" The floor was old and crumbly. I work on motorbikes with kickstarters. It's ok. The kicking does wear through, but not surprising. All I did was paint the walls and ceiling with white emulsion, then paint the first three rows of bricks. Then simply...

Hi Everyone I poured a new concrete slab for my garage floor yesterday and even though it's as flat as a pancake in terms of levels the finish is not what I wanted for painting. I can see two products on the market for final finish, Level IT Top and Ardex 301. To make matters worse I have a...

Either screed the garage floor with min 50mm, pref 100mm screed to level it (typically garage floors have a run off slope) and put a membrane DPC under running it up the walls to the existing DPC level and then tying it in to the existing DPC with mastic/bitumen paint, use liquid DPC (bitumen...

Hi all, looking for some advice with a garage suffering from damp and mould. the garage wasn’t used for storing a car when we moved in and that’s never changed. It had a carpet down and a condenser tumble dryer, fridge freezer, a bench and some free weights and other random things stored out...

My garage concrete floor (1930s house) is very rough in places and there is lots of dust - there is always dust no matter how much I sweep it up. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to improve the floor. I have seen things online about resin and self levelling and paint. I just need...

Before I pull the trigger and order some, here is my garage, well, the opening of it. I only really use the garage for brewing and storage on shelves, but if anything ever gets left on the floor it draws moisture up. Then at the entrance I keep getting water under the door. To try and stop this...

Hi I was just wondering what paint is recommended instead of a dpm sheet. my existing utility room is just tiles on top of the garage slab so I want to paint over the top then insulate and screed the reason I don’t want to use dpm is that there is quite a few pipes coming through and I can...

There is a specific paint called 'garage floor paint' but it is very expensive. Unless your garage floor will be subjected to all kinds of oily abuse, I would seriously consider putting down a cheap cord carpet in there in whatever colour you wish. (Pref. a dark one). Replace every few years...

Hi I'm after a bit of advice before I begin some work in my garage, wonder if anyone can help? I have a small budget of about £500 and I want to do the work myself, if I can. I have a detached brick garage (built 1986 ish) it has a flat felt roof and is single skin of bricks I think. I can...

My garage workshop is nearly finished and the floor is the last thing I need to sort out. Now the sills and doors are fitted, I have a better idea of how much space I have to put down some flooring. Originally I didn't think i'd have much depth and was just going to have bare concrete with a...

Hi, looking for some advice about how my builders have done the floor in my garage conversion as it doesn’t seem right to me. Concrete original garage floor. They painted on a few coats of damp proof as regs. Used sand to level then laid Celotex on top then tongue and grove chipboard over that...
