    Garage waterproofing questions

    My garage is built on a concrete slab that extends about 300mm beyond the up and over doors. This joins to an asphalt/tarmac(not sure of the difference) drive. The asphalt has crumbled a bit leaving a 8-10mm gap. What could I use to weather seal this gap bearing in mind it has cars driven over...

    Insulating a garage ceiling

    I have an integral garage with a small bedroom (used as a study) above it that gets bitterly cold and I'm looking at ways of insulating. Ripping up floor-boards and stuffing between the rafters might be a longer term solution, but for quickness I'm looking at sticking thermal board to the...

    Concrete floor issue

    I’ve recently had a garage built and I am finding that patches of the concrete floor have an almost gritty/gravelly finish on the surface, even when I sweep it. I’m worried if I don’t seal it in some way then it would eventually wear in these parts and cause dips etc. What would be the best way...

    I have a large garage - 16ft x 30ft single block built walls with a flat roof, concrete floor. I am looking at converting it to a gym but I am unsure whether to insulate it by the "traditional" method i.e. build a framework inside the garage and put fibreglass insulation inside the frame and...

    Is a garage gym more trouble than it's worth?

    I used to have a garage gym. ... Get as much out into a shed as you can. Put in some better lights, and maybe board the ceiling with insulation backed plasterboard, which you can just paint white, to help keep it a bit warmer in winter. I painted my floor with reddish garage floor paint, and...

    Garage Moisture/Damp?

    For sealing, watered down PVA is normally used, then maybe thinned floor paint. Coo-var garage floor paint is good stuff, look it up, it won't cost any more (per litre) than the wilko paint

    Concrete floor - sealing to stop dust

    garage floor paint works well but depending on the quality of your floor, you might want to apply some self levelling compound first. Unfortunately, neither are cheap for a large area. https://www.toolstation.com/ultraplan-renovations-screed-3240/p21200...

    White fur inside wall of garage

    A few years ago I put a false floor into the garage to use the room. Beneath it I put down damp proof sheeting. I then used tanking paint to paint the wall up to the damp proof course sheet level. A few months ago this started to happen, just in this corner. I assumed the outside might be to...

    Garage Bricks/Leaking

    Hi all, We have a single brick garage that we believe the people who owned the house built themselves. The roof has a front pitch and then flat at the back which leaks and we're going to repair but the bottom leaks, too. I think it's because the garage is lower than the block paving path...
