Lees Building Contractors Ltd delivered a bespoke triple garage featuring fully finished ancillary accommodation in the roof space. Externally, the building is completed in a traditional render finish and topped with durable clay plain tiles, seamlessly integrating extra living quarters above secure vehicle storage.


Key Works & Features

  • Triple Bay Garage:
    Three individual vehicle bays, each with insulated up‑and‑over doors, concrete block walls and a reinforced slab base.

  • Roof-Space Accommodation:
    Converted loft area with stud‑partitioned layout accommodating a bedroom, en‑suite bathroom and storage.

  • Traditional Render Finish:
    Silicone‑modified, breathable render applied over insulated boards for a smooth, weather‑resistant façade.

  • Clay Plain Tile Roofing:
    Hand‑laid plain clay tiles on treated timber battens, complete with lead flashings and ridge capping for long-term protection.

  • Dormer Windows & Velux Rooflights:
    Timber-framed dormers and flush-mounted roof windows provide natural light and ventilation to the accommodation.

  • Insulation & Thermal Performance:
    Cavity wall insulation, insulated rafters and high‑efficiency glazing ensure year‑round comfort and reduced energy bills.


Specialist Techniques & Materials

  • Reinforced Foundations: Piled strip foundations and C25 concrete slab to support heavy loads and prevent settlement.

  • Breathable Render System: Kraft‑backed insulated render boards finished with a silicone render coat for crack resistance.

  • Tile Installation: Traditional double‑lap clay plain tiles fixed with stainless‑steel tiling nails for durability.

  • Structural Carpentry: Engineered trusses and ridge beams installed to create a usable loft space without compromising structural integrity.

  • Building Regulations Compliance: Full mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), fire‑rated partitions and smoke alarms to meet Part B and Part F standards.


Why This Project Stands Out

  • Multi‑Functional Design: Combines secure vehicle storage with comfortable roof-space living, maximising plot usage.

  • Seamless Aesthetic: Traditional render and clay tiles tie the outbuilding into the character of the main house.

  • High Thermal Efficiency: Comprehensive insulation strategy delivers low running costs and excellent comfort levels.

  • Expert Project Management: From groundworks to handover, our team ensured on‑time completion within budget.
