Replacing an Old Garage - R Page Concrete Buildings

Replacing an Old Garage with a Modern R. Page Concrete Garage clad in Grey Slate Hardie® Plank

Transforming a Tired Garden with a Stylish, Practical Concrete Garage

Replacing an old garage can dramatically improve both the appearance and usability of your outdoor space. In this project, a worn‑out garage was removed and replaced with a modern R. Page Concrete Garage, finished in grey slate HardiePlank cladding and installed on the existing concrete base.

To further enhance functionality, the garage was fitted with a UPVC door and window at the rear, providing easy access from the garage directly into the garden.

Why Replace an Old Garage?

Older garages often become more of a burden than a benefit. Common issues include:
• Deteriorating materials
• Water ingress and draughts
• Poor security
• An outdated appearance

By upgrading to a precast concrete garage, homeowners gain a strong, secure, and low‑maintenance structure that improves both practicality and kerb appeal.

Installing the New Garage on the Existing Base

A major advantage of this project was the ability to reuse the original concrete base from the old garage.

Benefits of using the existing base:
• Reduced groundwork and disruption
• Faster installation times
• Lower overall project costs
• A more environmentally friendly solution

After inspection, we confirmed that the base was suitable, and the new R. Page Concrete Garage was installed efficiently, allowing the transformation to take shape quickly.

Grey Slate Hardie® Plank Cladding for a Contemporary Finish

The garage was finished in grey slate Hardie® Plank cladding, giving it a sleek, modern appearance that complements the surrounding garden.

Why Hardie® Plank is a popular choice:
• Modern, clean lines
• Excellent resistance to weather and moisture
• Low maintenance with no regular painting required
• Long‑lasting colour and durability

The grey slate finish blends effortlessly with modern landscaping, fencing, and paving, making the garage a standout feature rather than an eyesore.

UPVC Door and Window for Garden Access

To maximise usability, a UPVC door and window were installed at the back of the garage, providing direct access into the garden.

Benefits of adding a UPVC door and window:
• Convenient access between the garage and the garden
• Increased natural light inside the garage
• Improved ventilation
• Enhanced security with modern UPVC fittings
• Ideal for use as a workshop, storage space, or garden access point

This addition turns the garage into a far more versatile space, perfectly suited to modern living.

Complete Garden Transformation

The replacement of the old garage has completely transformed the garden area. What was once a dated, tired structure is now a modern, practical building that enhances the overall outdoor space.

Results of the transformation:
• A cleaner, more open garden layout
• Improved visual appeal
• A garage that complements the home and garden design
• Added value to the property
