People who say it makes the space look smaller Been listening to their wife to much or still live at home with mummy. It’s a 1970s myth. Awesome 👍🏼
😂
YES 💯
Doesn't matter what anyone says you did a great job and it works for you
A really very interesting video - the wife was even glued to watching it and said 'wow'! Just re-doing my slightly wider than single garage and found the flooring and the ceiling somethings that I will follow up on. I store loads in my roof space on 18mm chipboard flooring sheets but like the way you boxed it from underneath. Overall it looks fabulous and nice to see an average sized garage project on CZcams and not a super sized US workshop - Well done.
thank you for the comment, I really enjoyed doing this to my garage, I have utilised the space up above the roofing too which I am currently filming an update video on, have had a few questions and ive added a couple of things along with what I have learned from the process. stay tuned
My thoughts too. The US ‘small’ garages are like warehouses. Good to see a normal garage.
Hands down one of the best UK garage makeovers I’ve watched. Saw this before buying our house and have since purchased the same IKEA cabinets and flooring. We got the keys yesterday, self levelling went down in the garage today and flooring will be next weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!
thanks buddy, update video coming soon
Looks mint dude! You should be well proud of yourself there.
Think I'll have to look in to that flooring as well, thanks for making me aware of it!
Definitely a more affordable solution and easy to install and thank you :)
Looks wonderful- and you got it done!!
Buddy what a great video 🤘
Definitely an amazing man cave , making me jealous . 🤘
You’ll have to get cracking with yours in zim asap 😂
Black ceiling with the brickwork looks brilliant.
Thanks buddy, works really well, update video coming soon
Looks brilliant mate, very well done, inspired me to start clearing mine, winter project, cheers
that's awesome mate, glad to of given you some ideas :)
Nice job, well done. You’ve giving me some ideas.
glad I could help
Awesome Nobby, looks great mate. I move into my new house soon that has a tandem garage and you’ve just put it into perspective how skint I’m actually going to be 😂
Garage makeover looks awesome well done fella 👏👏👏
Thank you, thanks for watching
That's the flooring I've just had installed in my garage, for working in cars it's fantastic, I can go in without shoes on too
Its great stuff isn’t it
Good on you. Enjoyed the video. I’m just getting into the process of doing my garage too.
Thanks buddy, really enjoyed it and think it looks half decent for not a bad cost, if you are ordering any of the items I got please get in touch for any tips I may have missed
You have done a great job. Looks great.
Thank you kindly
Absoiutely smashed it mate.
Im moving into my 1st place as we speak and the project ideas are coming out my ears.
Garage is on the backburner till the house is done so i can give it 100% my full attention.
Those hexagon lights are amazing too. Top to bottom brilliant job dude, hope youre still enjoying her
I did garage before house 😂 I have an update video coming soon to show what have done to loft area and little bits
@@theoddjobs3749 Quality😂 your missus must be lovely to have let that happen(!)
I look forward to the update bro, subscribed👌🏽
@@Dustii91 she’s a keeper for sure
Love it nobby! Exactly what you need.
Channel is growing isn't it!
You look well mate, nice to see you repping a matelot shirt at one point too.
Thanks , slowly growing
Amazing transformation I need this in my life as currently my old up and over garage is sealed off and full of crap mostly the wife’s. I want my bike and tools in there I can do the electrical bits myself so all good. Nice job 👍🏻🔧
thank you buddy
Really swish. I like it!
Thank you
Great job!
Thank you kindly
Fair play matey. When you said about the black scheme I wasn’t sure but it looks awesome!
Thank you :) it really sets off the lights
Great video mate, you kept it really simple and straightforward - well played
Sometimes simple looks better imo
No mistake there mate...Love the black paint... may paint one of my walls having seen this...love it.. Great vid man, enjoyed it ✌✌
The black paint and those lights with your white walls in yours would look mega buddy
@@theoddjobs3749 If I do I will be sure to say where I saw it first 😉
@@classicjetskis brills, looking forward to seeing if you do, and watching the how to clean handlebars when I get home
Brilliant video 👍
Thank you
Greta video. Looks amazing. Really enjoyed it
Thank you
I was dubious about the black until those lights went up, they change everything. Then the end shot with the jetski uncovered and it all made sense.
I was dubious myself, I kept questioning if I’d made a mistake , but I stuck with it, the lights totally bring it together
Came out really nice. Like the black and the lights you put in. One thing that puzzles me though is how you have so many issues with a new build? I was surprised by that.
I was surprised too, seems like everyone I’ve spoken to on the estate have similar issues , I didn’t buy the house from new so the previous owner I don’t think was all that bothered, it’s only when you dig a little bit you realise that it was done quickly and let’s say the measurements weren’t exactly perfect
Good to show the whole process in one video - job looks good and is real value for money. Suggestions for further improvements :
1 - Larger hatch for long items and ease of access for those of us who are not so slim or agile any more !!
2 - 'Guardsman' security bar to prevent the local scrotes from nicking your pride and joy. ( See review by The Missenden Flyer ).
3 - Steel pedestrian door for better security ( less glass, better locks ).
4 - Secondary floor lock for roller door. ( Another anti-scrote deterrent ).
Thank you for some great tips, since the video I have installed CCTV and fitted a few concrete anchors, with regards the the loft access I have fitted the loft out and insulated it, enlarged the access too for storage, will be doing an update video in the next few months as still have a few plans to change it
@theoddjobs3749 looking forward to a follow up video showing the loft space.
I'd like to do similar in my new build to make use of that space.
@@gavinnoname1424 garage update video coming soon
Looks awesome! I've got a lot of ideas from you! Really like what you've done. Wasn't sure on the black paint at first but.....
yeah honestly I wasn't sure either to be fair but it really brought it together especially with the lights
Brilliant video, I’ve wanted to do something similar to my new build since I bought it. Will there be an update video on what you did with the loft space you created? Be great to see what you did with that!
Currently in the process of an update video as we speak
Sultan car club in the intro, takes me back
Some of our older videos were filmed there 😂😂
Brilliant video. Haven’t read the other comments yet but does it feel any warmer? I’ve also got a new build garage and looking to tart it up a bit more starting with the floor tiles and maybe a new door. Undecided whether to go with the whole plasterboarding and insulating malarkey or not.
Thanks buddy, since the video has gone up I have boarded out the loft and put 100mm loft insulation up, I will be doing an update video shortly to show this, it’s definitely warmer but we’ve not had the winter properly yet so we will see, I was trying to do everything on a budget , I decided to not plasterboard it due mainly due to the look I went for with the brick and black walls to give it an almost industrial look
Just watched your garage transformation video. Spot on job. Cpuld you share the link for the black metal cabinets you have please
from Ikea buddy, they are the BROR system, there are many to choose from :
www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/bror-cabinet-with-doors-black-50494297/
Looks sweet mate! Thanks for the ideas. QQ please. With the front driveway slight tilted downwards, would you suggest not buying new builds with these? I am looking currently at new build but it has about 10% decline on front of garage. Just little worried about water creeping in during heavy rainfall.
It was a worry for me but once I had the new garage door fitted it was external so all the rain we’ve had since now drains directly in front into the drain so my floor remains dry, there are many options to put seals down as well that you can buy off Amazon to protect it, and depending on the budget you have you can level the drive or floor of the garage, for me the movement of the door from internal to external fit worked for me, hope that helps
Looks hoofing mate bz
Cheers buddy
Good vieeo for inspiration, Ive got a very similar size garage but im trying to make mine suitable for working on a car which is even more of a challenge than yours! Ive already boarded the central area of the loft space in there and installed a loft ladder whuch is a good start. I am thinking heavy duty shelves all the way round the perimeter below the joists but above head height, side walls i cant do a lot as need the space to work but maybe i can hang some thin stuff on the walls e.g. ladders, at the back wall toolbox and workbench... Ergh. Never enough space but it will beat working on the driveway in the winter.
Yeah that’s the problem with small garages, perfect for storing a car but rubbish to work on one, when I need to do work on my ranger I have to remove the jetski and nose it in halfway, that’s the only way to work if the weather is bad, I can’t justify a double garage yet, the missus won’t let me 😂😂😂 update video coming soon with the loft and extra bits I’ve done to mine
Practical done
Nobby!!! Small world Shippers. 😊
Who’s this 🤣 nothing on your profile
Get a folding hitch kit for that trailer and you could open up even more room in that garage.
didnt even think of that 🤣
Nice to see a normal sized UK garage getting a makeover for once and not some massive American one (not there is anything wrong with massive American garages, we just don't have those in the UK), looks awesome and has given me too many ideas £££
Glad it gave you ideas, one thing I love more than anything is the lighting, if I was to do it again they would be first on my list , absolutely transforms it, thanks for watching
Awesome job, looks incredible.
Did you seal the gap between the walls and the ceiling? Or just butt the boards up against the wall?
I cut the plywood as close as I could get to it then I used black silicone to fill in the gaps and edges, as they was cut to size the gaps were only a few mm in the end
the gaps you can see in the Timelapse as I was putting up the lighting were filled with small bits of plywood 12mm thick (offcuts) then they were siliconed next to the wall to seal it, I put extra strengthening and support in when I was doing the joists
Brilliant that is mate you've got the exact same garage as me although iv turned mine into a gym. Quick question did they tell you the rafters wasn't load bearing? Iv still stored stuff up there but it always worrys me how much they can hold also I went for horse stall matting well cheap and durable
I have builders in the family so asked them, and both said it was fine for storage, i strengthened the rafters and put some loft board up inside, it’s overkill for what I needed, it mainly has old boxes and garden chairs up there, definitely not sturdy to hold substantial weight but safe enough to store
Looks great. Did you reinforce the ceiling joists at all? Most new build builders say that the joists are only designed to support the roof. Plywood will be adding a lot of weight.
I had two builders come out and check that they were strong enough to hold the plywood
Nicely done. Is that roof now strong enough to take a adults weight up there? Thinking of doing something similar.
yes I have fitted some loft boards up there in the centre and put some 100mm insulation there to keep it protected better in the winter, I will do a garage update video where I show what else I have done in the future
Looks great mate. No insulation though? I’m about to hit my new garage, looking forward to it!
I did add insulation just after filming the video along with a retractable ladder for the loft area, I will film an update video shortly as have done more things , good luck with the garage buddy
Great video thanks. I'm doing something similiar now and enjoyed your video.
Thank you, hope mine helped a bit
Feels like it's 70% face, 30% garage stuff 😅 Other than that, great job. Looks awesome!
I never showed all the drawers and cupboard interiors, full to the brim 😂🥴
This is so helpful, thank you. Question, why did you go with 12mm plyboard ...would 9mm do the job also?
I went with 12mm for a little bit of sturdiness , I wasn’t sure how heavy the lights would be (bit of an overkill with hindsight) , I am currently filming an update video to show what I’ve done extra to the garage including the loft ,which includes insulation and storage
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I deffo want to max out that space aswell so seeing how you do it will be of huge interest to me. Thanks!
Thinking of getting the roller door myself, to get more space inside. I'm guessing water under the door was no longer an issue once fitted?
Totally worth it, makes a huge difference , because the door was fitted externally the water drains away and doesn’t ingress into the garage anymore
Nice.
What paint did you use and did you need to wash or prine bloxm work?
Standard all surface black Matt paint from deluxe, works on masonry and wood, I didn’t prime as instructions said to apply straight to it, walls were hoovered down and wiped but that’s it
We used resincoat for our epoxy floor, DIY. It would be under £300 for a garage of your size.
Wish I’d of known that before 😂 to be fair I’m extremely happy with the tiles , i personalised them since the video went up
@@theoddjobs3749 it keeps the dust down, looks great and it's never coming up but I didn't put the grippy stuff in it so it's mega slippy with oil or water on. I'm tempted to use the flooring you put down in the areas I walk/work in for comfort
Great job. Can I ask did you prime the breeze block before painting? What brand paint did you use?
I didn’t prime it, I maybe should of done looking back in hindsight , I just used standard black all surface paint, it was from B&Q by deluxe
What type of drawers are those underneath the vise? Could you post a link?
www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/bror-work-bench-with-drawers-black-pine-plywood-70494300/
Looks great! Any details on the drawers next to the tool chest you’re using at all please?
They are from ikea, they are part of the bror system
Found the link you posted to
Another poster after some digging- thank you!
Really interesting video, I have recently done more or less the same as you in a newish build. The only problem I found was with my floor covering 😢 I used similar tiles to you but in the really hot weather they all bow up and look a mess. I am just wondering if you stuck your tiles to the floor?
that's interesting, I've not had that, saying that though my garage doesn't get a lot of sunlight and is in shade of the house,, did you leave a 5mm gap around the edge of the garage to allow for warping ?
@@theoddjobs3749 thanks for your reply mate 👍 I have left an expansion gap along the edges but fitted it tight up to the garage door? That might be my problem? My garage doesn't face the sun the floor was bowing up just on really hot days in the summer, will trim it like you say and see how it goes, cheers 👍
@@nigelmiddleton2727 hopefully that works
How do you like the ikea cabinets? Have they held up well?
Yes they’ve held up really well, update video coming soon
well done. did the company take away the original garage door?
Yes they did, they were fantastic from start to finish, quality product and well worth the money
Looks like no roof pan straps fitted? how's the wooden pan fixed down to wall brickwork, check with builder!!
Built to code as far as I’m aware, the roof pans aren’t directly connected to brick, there is a wooden beam that is secured to the walls and the pans are connected and secured to them
Does the flooring make any difference with the temperature?
Not massively, more it keeps it clean, update video coming soon
Probably a really random question. But don’t suppose you have a link to where you got the orange hooks for hanging the jackets on?
Absolutely buddy

Whoops, just found your other video haha
They are really hard wearing
Looks great mate. I’m literally doing mine at the mo and just ordered the same lockers coincidentally lol. Did you paint the duramat floor grey?
Nice buddy, hope it turns out great, no the duramat floors came grey and I got some grey paint matched as close as I could, I then painted the bottom edges of the wall around the floor and door so it looked tidier and blended better with the tiles , was just a preference for me ( I’ll be doing an update video soon to show this along with other things I’ve done since the video)

works out at just under 15m2
What ikea units did you buy?
Ignore 😂 found in description 😊
No worries
I put a tv in the garage .. didn’t turn it on once 😂
Same 😂
Maybe a tablet or a computer would be more useful, to check manuals or parts.
In my opinion TV is a useless thing in a garage.
