Oceanjules Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone! My mum is having her garage door bricked up. The foundation and lintel are already there. The size is 2.3m x 2.1m and I am getting a labour quote to brick it up with cavity wall. Can someone please give me an idea how much does it normally cost? Thanks Edited March 11, 2022 by Oceanjules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Is this so the inside can be convert into habitable space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanjules Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Half of it will be a storage and half will be an office office. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 @Oceanjulesthe whole door or leaving space for a window..? Are the bricks either side being toothed in (the halves removed so the bricks bond correctly) or is it just a quick brick up..? And where are you in the U.K..? As that will affect pricing etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 You are probably looking at two days for a brickie £500 If he comes on his own More likely come with a labourer Anything under a £1000 Would be worth considering London-SE will be more ££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanjules Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Thank you. @PeterWi believe there will be a space for a window but not exactly sure the size. The area is in Essex. @nodthanks. Under £1k is actually her budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Ok so £250-300 per day for a brickie and a couple of days. Don’t forget that converting a garage to habitable space needs building control approval and it needs to be done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceverge Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 It might not be much price difference to just put in a pvc door/window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
