Blocking up a garage window

[UrbanGreen]

I have two windows in a single brick garage. I want to block at least one of them up. Ideally I suppose I should have the windows taken out and bricked up. Matching the bricks doesn’t really matter because the windows face a fence about a foot away. I’ve made a rough guess at how much that might cost me. Windows are approximately 5ft wide by 3ft tall. I could just board over them on both sides with ply or cladding which would probably be a lot cheaper. The windows would face over the neighbours if it wasn’t for the fence. Any thoughts on best solution?

Yeah. Brick up property.
Maybe use the bricky pro tool and do yourself.
Other option is keep eye out for a brick layer and stop and ask.
Nice little fill in job for them

Easy diy is to use sheet cement board on exterior face and osb to interior .

I’ll probably just block up and insulate the inside after I’ve repaired the leaking roof that a “tradesman” replaced a couple of years ago. I can hardly go back to him now to get it fixed can I?

A mate has lived in a house for probably 30 years where there is a bricked up window in the main room.
There’s a narrow passageway on that side of the house that still has the window in it.
We didn’t notice when he bought it, inside looks normal.

It was a probate sale so no idea when it was done.
I am not aware of any issues

My bathroom also has a similar window. One window in the bathroom on the inside. Outside there are two windows that belong to the bathroom.
