My Mum just had a double garage built from metal / wood frame and coriigated tin sheets with concrete floor 1/2 the price of brick jobby , might be worth a look.
Just an option.

last time i got some from joesph parr, there's about 70 blocks to a pallet, and pallet price is cheaper. should work out at £1 a block or just under. think i got the sand for about £35 per tonne too.
merchants will price match/better each other too so worth calling a few.
1000 blocks, decent size garage that.


depends how many more you need but these are about 80p each
