Good to Know
> 🔧 **Planning other garage improvements?** Combine the workbench with wall storage, pegboard, or shelving in one visit - saves time and money. **Materials typically needed:** Timber for frame, sheet material for top, screws, wall fixings. I can supply everything or work with what you've bought. **Painted or natural finish?** Most people leave workbenches unpainted for a tough, practical surface. But if you want it painted to match your garage, that's no problem - just adds a bit of time. **Old garage with dodgy walls?** No issue. I fix to whatever solid structure is there - whether that's brick, block, or timber frame. Been fitting stuff to Exeter's wonky garages for years.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garage workbench fitting in Newton Abbot
Can you build a workbench to fit my specific garage space?
Absolutely. I measure your space and build the bench to fit exactly where you want it. Whether it's a full wall-length setup or a compact corner unit, I'll make it work with what you've got.
What materials do you use for the workbench?
Usually 18mm plywood or MDF for the top with solid timber framing underneath. It's strong enough for hammering, clamping, and general workshop abuse. If you want something specific like a hardwood top or steel frame, let me know and I can quote for that.
Do I need to provide the materials?
Either way works. I can supply everything and include it in the quote, or work with materials you've already bought. If you're sourcing yourself, give me a shout first - I can advise on quantities and what works best.
How long does it take to fit a garage workbench?
A basic single bench is usually 2-3 hours. If you want multiple tiers, tool storage underneath, or vice mounting points, add another hour or two. I'll give you a proper time estimate once I know what you're after.
Can you add storage or shelving above the bench?
Yes - wall-mounted shelving or pegboard above the bench is straightforward to add. Just let me know when we're planning the job. It's easier to do it all in one visit than come back later.
