I got an old 15kg Calor Gas drum, cut a hole in it for a hinged door, also fed some heat proof tubing out of the garage wall on brackets, and burning scraps of wood heats the whole cue building garage up!!

You need ventilation as well as insulation probably the roof is not vented, normally when using some sort of insulation there should be an air gap between the insulation and the roof/outside world, ideally with a breathable membrane in place as well. Any direct contact with the warm air inside, and the cold outside wil cause this issue, if not dealt with you could end up with a damp/mould problem.

My garage has corrugated roof with no insulation, condensation is a nightmare, only seems to drip off the main beams where it collects, any suggestions?

You need to form a barrier between the outside world and inside, it is not easy, ventilation of garage is key, and there must be an air gap between the insulation and the roof, without this it will not be as effective. Ideally the roof insulation should be tied into wall insulation, but now it starts getting expensive. The condensation is formed by moisture in the air in the room gathering on the metal, so again ventilation can help in removing moisture from the room.

Like i said this is not easy and can get very expensive, getting it wrong can also cause other problems like damp and mould. Have a look on some of the DIY forums, i am sure this has been covered on those numerous times.

Have a chest freezer in there at the moment, would this make a big difference?
Am thinking of just rigging internal guttering to catch the drips over my table, to cold to be messing about in there at the mo any way, especially when theres a sauna like working mens club 4 minutes walk away! Lol

Go to the club, sort it in the summer

I'm assuming your a professional in this field, so i couldn't possibly argue with this advice, if my wife emails you please be sure to tell her the same!

[Maxsys]

Not professional by any means, just a very keen DIY nut who has done some fairly radical things in my own home, but also do all the research first.

No probs i'll tell your wife i don't know her

I fitted kingspan to my workshop just takes a bit to heat up!
I have 3 electric heaters on a timer which comes on in the morning so its cosey to work in.
I wouldn't say it's a perfect environment tho because I can't leave heaters on all the time.
Have to turn it off when I'm done,then get freezing again.
No good for exotics,ebony,shafts or that.
So store mine in the house which ain't perfect.
Overall I'd say the insulation helps tho and makes it workable.
