Your dream garage Thank you for enquiring about the service that we offer and in this brochure you will find details on that service together with a selection of our different products. I am often told by satisfied customers that we “have created another room in my home, but I’ll keep the car in this one”. That is very satisfying to hear as we aim to provide a garage that compliments the rest of the home. Many homeowners do not realise how much space their garage actually offers. In many cases it is close to 10% of the floor space in the property. Is the owner getting 10% of the value from that space? Usually the answer is “no” and the reason is often because there is a large amount of belongings dumped on the floor while very valuable cars sit on the drive. GarageTek give the opportunity to turn the garage into a neat, tidy and well organised storage area that allows the space to be used for whatever purpose needed, be it a gym, office, play area, additional storage or just for the cars! And it becomes a pleasant environment in which to spend time. You will see that our system is very flexible and we can design a solution to fit different budgets. Indeed we are very pleased when homeowners start small with us and stay s with us through the growth of their GarageTek system, however long that takes.
To make your choices easier we have split this brochure into 4 clear sections:

Design & install At GarageTek we have three levels of service for you. Our core business is to Design and Install your garage. But since opening our online store some customers like to do it themselves so this option is now available. The three services are summarised below.
GarageTek Ultimate
DIY Sometimes it is the enthusiasm of doing it yourself, at other times the cost. But the GarageTek system has been installed by enthusiasts throughout the UK and the GarageTek team are on hand to make it as straight forward as possible.
At the top of the Design and Install range is GarageTek Ultimate. Everything is done for you from the initial meeting in your home, through the design work to the completed garage which will truly be the Ultimate garage. There is an extensive menu of options which are all listed on page 12 of this brochure.
Because of the popularity of this option we have built an online store at www.store.garagetek.co.uk/ where buyers can view and order parts ranging from the individual units to all the wall cladding, trims and tiles. There are a selection of Lifestyle kits which are a good way to start.
Professional
And there is a Design Service if you need help with the planning.
If you have decided it is time to make better use of the space then GarageTek will design and install a system that suits precisely your needs. Whether you are going to keep it for the car, use it as a playroom, a home office, a gym or simply for storage then we have the solution for you. Because of the flexibility of the system you can start by just organising one wall or laying a floor and then add more to the system over time. Or you can have all the walls clad in our TekPanel, a great floor laid, the ceiling clad and a whole range of units placed on the walls. You make the choice, we design it and then our team of trained fitters will come and install it.

FAQs Q. Can you give me a quote please? A. Yes certainly we can give you a no obligation quote. This will involve a visit by a GarageTek expert who will talk over with you the options and designs, will measure your garage and then, using our own GarageTek software will give you detailed drawings and costs of the garage. You will be left a drawing of exactly how your garage will look after the GarageTek system has been installed. Q. How much will it cost? A. This depends on the size of garage, and the height and length of wall space that you want covered in our TekPanel system. All garages are different but in a brief telephone conversation we shall be able to give you a very good idea based on our experience. Q. Can I install the system myself? A. Yes you can. Whilst the GarageTek system was designed for professional installation it can be installed by the DIY enthusiast who has a basic skill – and time! There is a comprehensive installation guide in the online store at www.store.garagetek.co.uk Q. How flexible is the GarageTek system? A. It is a great advantage that it is very flexible. Customers can have one, two or three walls fitted with or without the floor and ceiling system. And then you can have any number of units placed on the TekPanel. It doesn’t stop there: once installed you can move the units without the need for any tools. And you can add more units as your needs change.
Q. Is it easy to keep clean? A. Absolutely. If you have had all the walls, ceiling and floor installed then it stays a lot cleaner anyway. We recommend the floor tiles are cleaned with a floor cleaning solution but the walls only need a light dust occasionally. Q. Do you offer a Warranty? A. Yes we offer a 10 year Warranty on our products. Q. What happens if I move house? A. Firstly your garage will offer a real “Wow” factor so make the most of it when you market your house. You can then include everything in the sale or take whatever units you want to your next home. Obviously if you take units with you then you will need the TekPanel in your new house. But make sure the Agents know what you are leaving and what you are taking. Q. What happens now? A. Our brochure and website at www.garagetek.co.uk will have given you a lot of information but we suggest a brief telephone call to your local GarageTek office and then a mutually convenient appointment can be made to take it to the next stage.
Q. I am building a new house. How soon should we talk to you about the garage? A. As soon as possible and preferably while you are planning everything. There is a lot of useable space in the garage but quite often the walls will be used for plant and electrics. This takes away that space so there may be ways of re-arranging the electrics etc. into a plant room. The garage will always be the last area to be completed but planning it can be very useful.
