Case Study
Mono Roof Garage
Let’s take a look at all angles of the Mono Roof Garage
The Mono roof garage is a clever way to build a large double, treble or quadruple garage without planning permission.
This smart design peaks at 2.5m at the front, before sloping down to 2m at the back. That means that if you can get your vehicle in a multi storey car park, it will fit in the Mono Roof Garage.
The standard design includes up and over doors, however due to height restrictions they are not able to be motorised.
The sloping roof is finished with plastisol coated steel, and rear guttering is included.

Groundwork Requirements.
All garage buildings require a concrete base and a single course of bricks, made up as follows.
- 150mm of hardcore
- Damp proof membrane
- 100mm (minimum ) of concrete
- single course of semi-engineering bricks (with holes)
- concrete base size to be 50mm larger than brick course dimensions
- plan to be provided on order
Internal Views
The framing is visible on the inside of the garages unless you choose the inside lining option.
On the back of the framing, you will see the 4mm plywood, which has the vapour barrier and then the outside cladding.
Inside the building, you will see the purlins (between the trusses) followed by the sterling board (OSB). On the outside of the OSB is the final roof covering.
If you select the option of the internal roof lining (and insulation), the Celotex is fitted in between the purlins, and 9mm plywood is fixed to the underside of the purlins.
Delivery & Installation
You can find out your delivery costs by entering your postcode on the configurator. If the website cannot provide you with a delivery cost please still submit your configuration and we will be in touch.
Installation is included in the overall cost of your building. However, we can offer a supply only discount should you choose to erect the building yourself.

Garage Door Options
Our mono roof garages come with a canopy style metal up & over the door(s), available in a range of different colours. You can choose to upgrade to fully retractable up & over doors, timber barn doors or cedar clad doors for an additional fee.
The maximum width of our doors is 2.5m and the height is 2.1m. On some designs, the doors need to be reduced in height or width. If you would prefer to fit your own doors such as roller shutter doors, then we can leave the openings and you can arrange for a separate company to supply and fit the doors after installation of your garage.

Mono Roof Garage Maintenance Schedule
Our mono-pitch roof garages come with a 10-year guarantee for any design and manufacturing faults, so you do not need to worry about problems within the build itself. Your maintenance regime is centred around long-term care, for issues that could arise in the future after heavy usage or severe weathering. Your mono-pitch roof garage is sure to stand for years to come, just as long as you:
- Keep the guttering and roof clean and free of any debris, especially fallen leaves.
- Properly adjust your garage doors and any windows you may have fitted within the build, as throughout the changing seasons, the timber will naturally expand and contract with the changing temperature.
- Top-up on treatment for the exterior parts of your garage, providing a waterproof coating that strengthens the timber structure and improves expansion and stability.
Make it Personal
To fit in with their design scheme, our customer wanted to change the look of the doors.
Therefore, we supplied the building without the standard doors so that the customer could purchase a pair of bespoke double doors.
If you are local to Cheltenham, then the company that manufactured the doors was Turland Joinery
The hinges were purchased from 1st Fix South

What groundwork is required for a garage?
Concrete Pad & Single Brick Course – Scroll down for full details:
150mm compact hardcore: DPM: 100mm concrete: Single course of semi-engineering bricks
Please allow 50mm additional concrete in addition to the size of your garage.
Your groundwork plan is issued when your order is placed and your final design is confirmed.
We allow a 5mm tolerance for the brick course – please use a laser level when setting the bricks.
In most cases the base is too large to dig by hand, hence a local contractor will be required to do the groundwork for you.
You start by digging out the ground down to a depth of 10 inches, with any spoil either removed by skip off site, or dispersed somewhere else on site.
Secondly the land / mains drains will be put in place, and soak aways will be constructed. The soak away will be a deep pit, about 1m x 1m x 2m deep and filled with gravel, with the drainage piped into the top of it. This is mainly to take the rainwater from the guttering.
Once the drains are prepared, the hardcore is put in to a depth of 150mm and compacted down. Once compacted, the shuttering around the edge is put in place.
The concrete is to a depth of 100mm, and should be a c35 mix, or a mix with fibres. For example a 6m x 6m square base will need 6m x 6m x 0.1m = 3.6 square metres of concrete. A tamped finish is sufficient, although a floated finish will be smoother. Timescale for this should be a single day.
Once the concrete has been laid for a couple of days the brick course can be fitted. This should take about half a day for the 6m x 6m base.
What size vehicle are the buildings delivered on?
For the majority of our buildings, they are delivered on a 7.5 tonne lorry. This is the typical size of a concrete mixer lorry and will take up the equivalent space of 2 standard vehicles. We will require parking for our vehicle as close as possible to your property.
What happens if trees are not cut down?
Good forestry management requires the selective felling of trees which would otherwise gradually lose tensile strength over time and which would inhibit new growth resulting in forests which contain a lower grade quality timber overall. Careful forest management is a necessary practice to maintain balanced and healthy forests and should not to be confused with indiscriminate de-forestation which is seen in areas of the world particularly in regions where tropical rain forests predominate and which devastate wild life habitat and contribute to global warming.
Can I have a garage within permitted development?
In a word, yes
Single garages have a choice of a pitched roof or a single slope roof at 2.5m high – which is within permitted development in most cases.
Double and triple garages will need to have a single slope roof to be 2.5m high.
Double & triple garages with a pitched roof will need to be 2m from the boundary to be within permitted development as they are taller than 2.5m high.
The size I required isn’t listed, can you still build it?
The price list has been created to give a price for our most common sizes. If you require a different size to fit in a space available, please contact us to get an accurate price.
Because each building is individually created for you, a guide for the price would be the closest to the size that you are looking to have. Please do get in touch on 01926 815757 and talk to us about your project.
How long will my building take to build on site?
Garden Rooms are usually constructed within 1-2 days (up to 6.2m x 3.6m sizes) depending on the final specifications.
Garages up to 6.1m x 6.1m are usually constructed within 1 day. Larger buildings will often take 2 days on site.
Commercial Buildings usually take 1 week on site – depending on the final specification.
How long will my building last?
We regularly have customers that have buildings re-roofed at 15 and twenty years old – who are quite confident that their buildings will last double that time if they get general maintenance and care.
This building was taken by a customer and we have worked out that it was 18 years old, and was still original. The customer has painted the building regularly with Protek Woodstain.
This garden office is 12 years old and has been regularly treated with Dark Oak wood protector. It features timber doors and windows, along with brown felt tiles.
This garage is 24 years old and still has it’s original layer of green mineral felt.
What is the lead time?
The lead time for a building can vary between 2 – 6 months.
You are welcome to book in advance to secure a delivery slot, and still make adjustments to the design up to the point that the base has been constructed.
(Please note that items that have been specifically order for you will still need to be paid for)
Is tanalised timber waterproof?
Tanalised timber is not waterproof, so it is still subject to the natural expansion and contraction as the moisture content in the surrounding atmosphere changes. It advised that a water repellent (clear or colour) treatment is applied to not only maintain the appearance of the building but also to help to exclude moisture being absorbed by the timber surfaces.
Are all hardwoods more solid than softwoods?
Somewhat confusingly this is not always the case – Balsa wood for example is an extremely ’soft’ wood as is Cedar however both are classed as hardwoods. The high quality softwood used by Warwick Buildings is in fact a ‘hard’ wood and it is this quality which stands out particularly to those who visit the Warwick Buildings Show Site to view the buildings in person – one simply cannot mistake quality construction and materials when seen first hand.
Please explain the garage door options available?
Garage Doors
The garage door default option are Metal Up & Over Canopy Style doors. The standard size of the doors are 2440mm wide x 2135mm high.
Single garages are priced with 1 set, double garages with 2 sets, triple garages with 3 sets and so on.
We offer the following upgrades to the doors that come as standard:
- Framed Barn Style Double Doors
- Cedar Clad Framed doors
- Metal Up & Over Fully Retractable doors
- Cedar Up & Over doors
Please explain the window options available?
We have suppliers for u-PVC and aluminium windows, all of which can be fitted into any of our buildings.
u-PVC Windows are the standard option for Garden Rooms and Offices due to their maintenance free properties. Available in a a choice of colours, but usually supplied in the popular Anthracite Grey or Black. The u-PVC windows can be fitted into any of our buildings and it is becoming increasingly more common to have them in garages and workrooms.
Aluminium is usually provided as bi-fold doors. Windows are available in Aluminium again available in a range of colours – with Anthracite grey being the most popular choice. You can select u-PVC as this also matches the Aluminium Bi-Fold doors.
Please explain the cladding options available?
Shiplap – 16mm x 125mm Scandinavian Redwood machined to our unique profile, with an extra long rebate to allow for natural movement of timber. It is pressure treated to a light green colour to protect against rot & decay for 15 years and is the ideal choice for customers who like a smooth finish and little maintenance.
Feather Edge – 25mm x 150mm home grown spruce with a sawn finish, that provides a much thicker and heavier look to the shiplap. Again it is pressure treated in a light green colour, and is the ideal cladding for customers looking for a traditional looking building that is full of character. The size and weight of the feather edge along with the manufacturing processes mean that this board is a more expensive option over the shiplap cladding.
Cedar – 12mm x 100mm Tongue & Groove cladding machined to create a modern looking finish. Each board is unique as this beautiful cladding naturally ranges from a dark hardwood to a light pine in colour thus creating a fantastic looking natural building. The hardwood properties of Cedar mean that it hardly expands or contracts during changes in weather, whilst it also has it’s own unique protection against rot, decay and insect infestation. Whilst the Cedar will fade in the sunlight, it is a must for customers looking for that wow factor on a garden room or garage, and it will continue to offer that feeling especially if protected against UV rays with Restol Oil.
How much clearance do I need around my building?
We require a minimum of 600mm around the building to be able to fit the cover strips and guttering on the outside of the building.
If you have less space available please contact us on 01926 815757, as we will discuss the options available on an individual basis – it may be that we can still accommodate your project.
What can I have without planning?
Buildings close to a boundary will need to be 2.5m high. If you require a taller building without planning you will need to be more than 2m away from your boundary.
You will need to locate your building either to the side or to the back of the house – buildings in front of the house will need planning permission.
Please note that the customer is responsible for planning permission, and may need to contact the council for full clarification of their permitted development rights.
If you require planning permission, you will need a local planning consultant or architect to prepare the drawings required for a planning application. We can provide the information for you to allow the drawings to be produced. You can then either submit the application yourself or employ someone to do so on your behalf.
