Buildings over 30 sq. metres may require building regs. Our buildings pass building control, and we can supply you a copy of the calculations that we have to assist any application that you may be submitting. To obtain an AA fire rating to the roof, you will require our Felt Tile finish, and to obtain half hour fire resistance to the outside walls you will need to coat the building with Envirograf ES/VFR/C treatment.

Mostly just a single day – larger 4/5 bay garages can take two days

The plywood lining is WBP grade and stiffens the framework of the building. Internally it improves the look of the garage, and coupled with the timber cladding, it provides a very efficient double skin

Our Feather Edge timber is a lot thicker than you would see on fence panels, and consequently it is a lot heavier and more time consuming to work with. Additionally it has a slightly different construction method to shiplap.

Onduline is felt and bitumen compressed into a corrugated profile, and offers excellent durability especially in windy locations. The standard colour is Black, however Brown, Red and Green are all available as options.

The felt tiles are a 1m wide sheet and have 4 tiles within the profile. The tiles are fitted onto underfelt, which completely covers the OSB boarding. Only half of the sheet is displayed as it is covered by the upper level, hence 3 layers of roofing material cover the OSB. The edges are finished with a finishing trim, as is the ridge line. Our Felt Tiles have an AA fire rating and are therefore suitable for building control. Colours available are brown and grey.
