Garage breeze block wall

liammurphy

Hi,

I hope someone can give me some advice.

I have just purchased a barn conversion, I am so pleased to get this as it is in a great area and has everything I need. The barn is connected to three garages which are currently open plan. This property was slightly over my budget but with some negotiating with the seller I managed to secure it, however as part of the sale I have agreed to put a breeze block wall up in the garage to separate my garage from the other two which still belong to the farm house on the complex.

Could anyone please give me an idea of what I am likely to pay to put up this breeze block partition and to plaster over the walls to make it look tidy? The garage is normal size garage with storage space in the roof part.

The garage is normal size garage with storage space in the roof part.

What's "normal" size?
Also, it sounds like the wall will need to be built up to the roof apex?

There's a variety of blocks which could be used, 4", 6", hollow, clinker, cement, will it need pillars etc.
If not doing it yourself, get quotes from a builder or 3.

You need to measure up properly before anybody can give you any sensible price guides

Hi,

The garage is approx 6.5 metres long and around 9ft high (this would include the roofing part)

Thank you

A block wall would need footings digging.

Are you sure a stud wall wouldn't be more appropriate? It would certainly be more cost effective and cause less hassle for everyone.

HI,

Thanks for your message, yes there is a possibility a stud wall would be ok, depending on the coatings.

A stud wall could also be clad with something appropriate, like waney edge boards.

Depends on the style of the rest, and whether that would be in keeping with it.
