Then lots of cabinets and tools Yes,will look at sealing the doors of the garage,but they are only 8 Years old,so hopefully should be pretty good. Il be looking at the lighting source,and upgrading that probably. Good idea painting the walls too,should brighten the place up abit. Should i bother painting the floor,or just put some of that jigsaw matting down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notfub Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Don't forget to plumb in some lines for an air compressor, loads of tools can be used from a compressor these days. Also, stick in an RSJ if you even intend to remove engines and the like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Paint! If you intend detailing you have to paint as it cuts the dust out. The walls will need a few coats but don't hurry it. Loads of lights - the paint helps brighten it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 i'm in the process of doing my garage, its a single but i need it setup for the business, i wanted a workshop but still able to get the car in. currently its got an Apex roof and was just single skin brick wall, flip door and 1 bulb light. so what did i do: - Boarded out the loft so i can store stuff above. - run new cables for 4 strip lights - painted the walls white (this was a ballache as it required 5 coats of different things to get a good finsih on the bricks) - run 2 new double sockets around the work bench area from the ring main - fitted new work bench runs the entire width of the garage at the back, but set high enough to get a car bonnet under or store tool trollies. jobs still to do: - insulate between the rafters - Plaster board the ceiling - put the flooring down - insulate the door - draft excluder at the bottom of the door - fit compressor - run copper pipes round the garage to make a multi point connection for air tools around the garage when it came to garage floors i looked at all kinds of things but the one i liked the most was these guys http://www.garagefloorcompany.co.uk/ when i next have some spare cash for the job i shall be ordering from them.

SteveRS Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 If you paint the floor, make sure you leave it a good 24 hours or so before driving on to it, otherwise the paint will peel off on your tires. Sweep and Hoover out before painting and even seal it with unibond just to stop the dust getting in the paint, helps the paint take to the floor better too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
