Cost of brick built garage?

We have a concrete sectional garage which is in a poor condition. We would like a brick built one approximately 14foot by 14foot. We would like it to have a proper tiled roof. Please could you give me a rough estimate for cost. I live in the Midlands.

Thanks

    Additional info needed to give a rough figure:

    Flat roof or pitched?

    Use existing garage door(s) or new?

    Bricks or blocks? Single skin or double skin?

    Bricks start at about 25p each but if you want a certain type to match your house then maybe up 50p each.

    Electric?

    I had a 21ftX12ft one built with UPVC side door and window for £7500 last October in Liverpool by a small local builder.
    Single brick matching the house with Electrics - 2 double sockets and 2 flouresant lights.

    It will be a pitched roof. New garage door with single skin of bricks. They are to match an extension we had last year so will be the cheaper ones I assume.

    Thanks for your help.
