Brick Garages

Fully insulated brick garages at 50–66% less than a builder's quote, made to your exact size, clad in brick or composite with an insulated sectional door.

Brick Garages

A Nucrete brick garage is a steel-framed garage with fully insulated walls and roof, clad externally in your choice of brick or maintenance-free composite, with an insulated sectional door, for 50–66% less than a typical builder's quote. You get the look, warmth and permanence of a brick garage, made to your size and finished in the brick of your choice.

Traditional building costs run to £1,500–£2,000 per square metre, which puts a 6m × 4m brick garage in the region of £36,000 from a general builder. Our brick garage range exists to fix that. It's a brick-clad or composite-finished building that satisfies UK building regulations for garden outbuildings, designed so that in most cases no planning permission is needed under the government's permitted development scheme, and built far more efficiently than a one-off builder's job.

How much does a brick garage cost?

Expect to pay between 50% and 66% less than a typical builder's quote for the same garage. As a rough illustration, a garage a builder would price at £27,000 could come in at around £9,000 (figures for illustration only), because every brick garage is priced individually to the customer's exact size and specification.

The saving comes from specialisation. We build garden buildings all day, every day, so the insulated, brick-finished panels and the roof are prefabricated in the factory before they ever reach your garden, which cuts days of on-site labour from the job.

How is a Nucrete brick garage built?

A brick garage is built around a steel frame that carries fully insulated wall and roof panels, finished externally in your choice of brick or maintenance-free composite cladding. Because so much is prefabricated in the factory, the on-site build is far quicker and cleaner than a traditional brick garage, with no weeks of bricklaying on your drive.

• The base. Every brick garage sits on a level concrete base, which forms the floor and the foundation in one. We can lay it for you as part of the project.

• The building. The insulated, brick-finished structure is erected by our own teams, complete with uPVC fascias and gutters, an insulated sectional door, and any window or personnel-door options you choose.

Don't have a base? We lay concrete bases and foundations ourselves, so one company can handle the whole job.

What's included as standard?

Every Nucrete brick garage is supplied with the same core specification — the premium touches aren't extras.

  • Fully insulated walls and roof for year-round comfort
  • Brick cladding in a choice of colours — Harvest Buff, Tabasco Red or Tuscan Red — or a maintenance-free composite finish
  • Steel-framed structure, prefabricated in the factory for a fast, clean install
  • White uPVC fascias and gutters (Anthracite Grey or Black available as a premium upgrade)
  • Professionally fitted insulated sectional garage door — white, black or Anthracite as standard, with more colours, styles and electric openers available

The Premium Pack adds a uPVC personnel door and opening window, an electric opener for the sectional door, and the Anthracite Grey or Black colour upgrade to fascias, doors and windows, all at a discounted combined price. Individual options are available too — tell us what you need and we'll create an itemised quote.

Brick garage or concrete garage — which should you choose?

Choose a concrete garage if you want secure space at the lowest cost. Most are installed in around a day, and every one carries our 10-year structural guarantee. Choose a brick garage if the building will be on show, if you need an exact non-standard size, or if you want the extra property value a permanent brick-finished structure brings.

A concrete garage is a fraction of the price of even our brick range, and it's the right answer for most people. A brick garage is the answer when the budget stretches and the building has to look like part of the house. It's also more adaptable later: the walls and roof are already insulated, so you can add electrics and internal finishes to turn it into a garden room or workshop. Always use a qualified electrician for any electrical work.

Compare the concrete side of the family first: apex concrete garages cost a fraction of a brick build, and the concrete garage price list shows exactly what your size costs.

Brick garage questions, answered

Do I need planning permission for a brick garage?

In most cases, no. The range is designed to satisfy UK building regulations for garden outbuildings and to fall under the government's permitted development scheme, just like a concrete garage. If your home is listed, in a conservation area, or has had permitted development rights removed, check with your local planning authority first.

Can a brick garage be built to a custom size?

Yes. The steel frame is made to your dimensions rather than a fixed size, so a brick garage can be built to fit your plot, which is one of its advantages over a standard-sized prefab concrete garage.

How long does a brick garage take to build?

Far less than a traditional brick garage. The insulated, brick-finished structure is prefabricated in the factory, so once your base is ready the on-site build is quick and clean. The Prestige team confirms the timescale for your building when they quote.

Can I convert a brick garage into a garden room later?

Yes. The walls and roof are already insulated as standard, so you can add electrics and internal finishes to create a usable room. Always use a qualified electrician for any electrical work.

Is a brick garage worth it over a concrete garage?

It depends what you value. Concrete is far cheaper and installed in around a day; a brick garage costs more, but it's insulated, made to exact sizes, looks like part of your house, and adds more value to your property. If it's purely practical storage, concrete usually wins.
