I often take my laptop out to the garage to work in peace, but it's obviously very cold at this time of year. It's a proper carpeted double glazed room so once it's heated up its fine, but it takes ages using the 2000w standing heater I've got at the minute.
A few months ago I was having a look and I saw a really good heater for about £300 that fitted to the wall, but I now can't find what it was.
Does anyone have recommendations for a good heater like this?
I've got electricity in there and everything so that's not a problem.
It would be good to get a radiator or something fitted, but I assume that would cost a lot of money.

Rather than spend £300 on a heater and have the heat just disappear, you could upgrade insulation with space blanket - available from Screwfix for around £100 - and go with a DeLonghi oil filled rad for about the same price from Argos.
Leave it on frost setting and crank it up when you need the heat, half an hour before you go in.

I use tube heaters as background, on all the time, low.
I've got a convector heater for when I go in, and also a quick squirt with a fan heater until it warms up enough. Place it near where you sit.
Don't expect it to be t-shirt warm; put a thick jumper on.
Also, look into halogen infra-red heaters.

You can set them to go on and off anytime in the day ...you can get various sizes for different size rooms ..there will be a guide on internet somewhere
You will also get a huge acoustic proofing uplift.
It will be very easy to infill the area between each stud perhaps one little hole in the plasterboard at 75 cm centres from bottom to top -just pop the nozzle in and spray.
Downside is that really you should have a 40-50mm airgap with a throughflow of a little air to prevent condensation within when the Dewpoint is low because it may sweat .The worst upshot over a long period of time is that the timber studs will eventually start to rot if not pre-tannalized but personal experience tells me that you need not worry for 5 years probably .
It is more a case of bad practice than imminent disaster ..........so what ....? sfter 5 years you may have to tear it down and re-board with insulation properly with an air gap ........thats a long time away -it may not ever be necessary .

I have an Delonghi oil filled heater in the garage that stays on throughout the winter, set fairly low.
The room is around 13 degrees, which is fine to do the bike maintenance stuff.

We're pretty sure that the roof is made from asbestos. It's the sheeting stuff so only a problem if you start chipping bits off and handling it, but I won't be able to cut it out and tip those beads in.
