Residential Garage Construction in Kilkenny
This residential garage project in Kilkenny involved the construction of a detached double garage designed to provide secure vehicle storage and additional overhead space. Castle Masons delivered the full structural build – from reinforced foundations to final external finishes – creating a durable and practical addition to the property.
The completed garage features twin roller doors, a pitched roof with skylights, and a spacious internal loft area. Designed for long-term performance and everyday functionality, this build combines structural strength with clean architectural detailing.
The Client Brief
The client required a purpose-built detached garage to provide secure parking, workshop space, and additional storage capacity.
The structure needed to complement the existing property while delivering practical functionality and long-term durability.
Key objectives included:
- Construct a double garage with twin roller doors
- Install reinforced concrete foundations
- Provide overhead loft storage space
- Incorporate roof windows for natural light
- Match external render to the main house
- Deliver a secure and fully finished internal space
By understanding the client’s need for both vehicle storage and workshop functionality, Castle Masons developed a build plan focused on structural integrity and usability.
Design, Construction & Finishing Works
Site Preparation & Reinforced Foundations
Excavation and groundwork were carried out to prepare a stable base for the garage structure. Reinforced concrete foundations were installed to engineered specifications, ensuring the building could support structural loads and prevent settlement over time. Proper foundation depth and reinforcement are critical for long-term stability and durability.
Structural Blockwork Construction
High-quality blockwork was used to construct the main walls of the garage. Careful alignment ensured square openings for the roller doors and consistent structural strength throughout the build. The masonry shell was constructed to integrate seamlessly with the roof structure and external finishes.

Roof Structure & Loft Space Integration
A pitched roof structure was installed, providing both weather protection and usable loft storage space. The internal timber framework was constructed with precision to maximise overhead capacity while maintaining structural strength. Roof windows were incorporated to introduce natural light into the loft area.
Installation of Roller Doors & Openings
Twin roller doors were installed to provide secure vehicle access and practical day-to-day functionality. Openings were carefully formed and reinforced to ensure smooth operation and long-term durability. Accurate alignment is essential to ensure weather sealing and proper door performance.

Internal Finishing & Concrete Floor
The internal space was completed with a durable concrete floor finish, suitable for vehicle storage and workshop use. Clean plastered walls and organised service points allow the garage to function as both storage and workspace.
