Roof dilemma?

Posted by Audrey Robbins, on
Hi , we are wanting a large garage beside our bungalow, what are the pros and cons of 1 having it stand alone with a gate from garage to house 2. Having it attached to house ? Many thanks

Hi The cost implications are mainly materials based and later insurance based. If attached everything is much cheaper as there will be less materials involved. This said labour costs maybe higher due to tying into existing supplies. If detached the only real benefit would be the ease of build and a lot less construction work passing through your home. As for insurances the detachment would most likely increase insurances. Hope this helps Scott
