Hey all, looking for some advice on my garage (pics attached inside and outside).

It's a standard brick lock-up on a shared block. Inside it's got a metal up-and-over door and an exposed brick back wall. Currently using it as a bit of a dumping ground but I want to actually make use of it.

The main issues:

- Damp/mould: left some garden gloves and the likes in there over winter and they went completely mouldy. Clearly there's a moisture problem and I suspect the door isn't sealing great either

- No insulation: it gets properly cold and I imagine that's making the damp worse

What I'm hoping to turn it into:

- Somewhere to hang a punch bag and keep some free weights for a basic workout space

- Store a bike properly

- Generally just a clean, functional space

I've had a couple of quotes and seem to be looking at 2k for new garage door, and 3.7k to tank floor and walls and put insulation and pvc cladding.

Any better suggestions or advice would be much appreciated, cheers!
