We offer a complete range of extras to tailor your garage to your requirements.
The most popular are shown on the price list. We will be pleased to quote for others on request.
Your garage can either be delivered in sections with all fixings and instructions or completed, normally in one day, by our experienced team. A price for each option is shown on the price list.
It is advisable to have a concrete base for your garage. The base should be made to 3cm less than the metric size of the garage as shown on the price list. We can then overlap the bottom shiplap board past the base frame of the walls to lip over the edge of you base preventing water from seeping into the garage. If your base is larger than the garage you will need to seal around the walls with silicone. Please note that our garages are built to the metric sizes shown on the price list. The nearest imperial equivalent is shown as a guide, but metric sizes are less than the imperial. For example 4.8m = 15ft.8in.
Manufactured by Greens of Mepal since
1958
Our timber garages are
craftsman built using the natural beauty of wood to blend into any surroundings.
Your garage can be built to incorporate a selection of styles of doors, windows,
roof constructions and colour
finishes to suit your property.
Timber is by nature drier
and warmer than the concrete alternative. The timber will tend to soak up any
excess moisture in the air, providing a drier
atmosphere.
A timber garage from Greens
of Mepal will provide a versatile building for our car or other uses such as a
workshop, games room, storage building etc.. It can easily be dismantled and
re-erected and shelves or lining can easily be added. Almost any size or
specification of building can be manufactured to your
requirements.
Our garages are designed to
last a lifetime with minimal maintenance. Simply treat the timber every 2 to 3
years with Sadolins or similar wood preservative.
Greens of Mepal is a family
business established in 1958 which has built up a reputation for quality and
service second to none. All enquiries will receive the prompt attention of one
of the partners and you will be informed of the exact day and approximate time
of delivery before we arrive. Our garages are individually built to order and we
only use the materials we consider suitable for a quality building designed to
give years of service.
As a general rule it is not necessary to
apply for planning permission if the proposed garage does not project beyond any
wall of the house which faces a road and is no nearer than 1 metre to the
boundary. If the garage is within 5 metres of the house you may
need permission. Planning
permission will always be required if you live in a conservation area.
This information is only a
general guide and you should check with your local authority planning department
for further advice. If permission is required we will supply drawings of the
garage free of charge.
Building regulation
approval affecting the construction of the garage is usually only required if
the garage is erected within 1 metre of your boundary or if the internal floor
area is greater than 30 square metres. All of the standard garages on our price
list are below this size.
(Please note that we cannot
be guarantee that the above planning and building regulations are correct and up
to date. You should contact your local council for advice regarding your new
garage).
