A beautiful new lighting feature in this garage installation working with our sister company Instaspark. As part of the planning process, the customer asked us to source and install new hexagonal lighting to really create a wow factor in the space.
In addition, the walls were clad with our clean FlexiSmooth panel which creates a brighter space for the customer. Interlocking floor tiles were laid, a new ceiling with loft hatch and finally some storage accessories.
All created as part of our Design and Install service and installed by our professional fitting team with the help of Instaspark wtih the lighting. Get started with your garage transformation and book your free Design Consultation today.

With it coming up to our 17th birthday, we wanted to tell you a little more about Garageflex including how it all started, the team and of course the 1600+ installations we’ve completed over those 17 years.
It all started when Alastair Broom was looking for business ideas and came across the GarageTek brand in the US. Being an Estate Agent for many years, Alastair thought this was a great idea as he had seen so many beautiful homes but with a very messy and cluttered garage. And so GarageTek UK was born.
A family affair
It really was a small family business to begin with. Barbara, Alastair’s wife, being a key member of the team and looking after running the office and accounts. In fact, apart from Alastair, Barbara is the longest serving team member and retires at the end of June 2022. Also working alongside Alastair and Barbara back then was Barbara’s sister Viv who looked after marketing.
In 2012 our Marketing Manager Louise joined the team when Viv retired with Veronique joining in 2015 to look after our Customer Services and Resin Floors. As the business expanded we welcomed Design Consultants Abigail Leonard in 2017 and Serena Edwards in 2021 who both work with our customers to create a garage design that is bespoke to their needs.
Of course we couldn’t run our business without the talent of our trained carpenters who do all the hard work fitting out the garages. Currently we have Brett, Matt, Andrew, Max, Dave and Jasper. Last but certainly not least we must mention Bill who looks after our warehouse, getting all the supplies and parts ready for installations.
And then came Covid19
When the pandemic hit we were, as most people, worried about how it would affect the business but in fact 2020 was one of our best years. With most people at home and looking for ways to improve their living space, we were inundated with enquiries to create new gyms, home offices and games rooms. This continued with an even busier 2021.
2022: All change
In late 2021 Alastair decided the time was right to sell the business and Garageflex became part of the group of companies owned by Entrepreneur Rob Stone. Rob is the founder of Instaloft and Instaspark, and instantly saw the benefit of bringing Garageflex into the fold.
So in January 2022 Rob took over as the owner of Garageflex bringing with him our brilliant new Head of Operations Jake Tipping. Alastair is still part of the business and acting as Consultant until the end of 2022.
But it’s still the same team
Although our leadership team may have changed, our brilliant designers of Abi and Serena continue to create magic with their bespoke garage designs. Working with customers to find out their garage problems, they bring all their experience into the process to create something that brings joy to the customer and eliminates problem areas.
The team in the office haven’t changed either although we have welcomed a new team member of Tina Timmins-Brownsword who is responsible for following up on enquiries.

With a resin floor installation being one of our most popular services, we wanted to tell you a little more information about why you should consider one for your garage.
This new blog will help you understand more about the Resin we use, the benefits, colour options and technical details. We’ll also tell you a little more about the installation process and how you can get a quote for your garage floor.
When you are looking for a garage floor that’s stylish, yet perfect for the garage environment, look no further than a seamless MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) Resin coating.
Unlike Epoxy coatings which can quickly peel or flake, MMA is very tough and can last for up to twenty years. And because we are so sure about the standard of the product, we give you a 10 year warranty so you get peace of mind that your new floor will last.
Please get in touch for an idea of price, all we need to know is the size of your garage in metres.
We offer a great range of colour options in two flake options – small and large.
The choice of colour does not change the price.
You can choose from a range of colours and also whether you would prefer a smaller or larger flake to be used. Grey is our most popular colour and co-ordinates very well with our white wall panelling whereas the Slate Grey and Cobalt Blue provide a nice contrast. It really depends on your preferred colour scheme and how much use from vehicles your floor is going to have.
MMA is very quick to lay. For example a double garage can be completed in one day and walked on within an hour of the final coat being laid. Our lead time is 3-5 weeks for a floor only installation or it can be combined with a Complete Garage Makeover.
Our floors are installed using a five step process over the existing concrete including preparation, primer, flake and two coats of sealant, all laid to a depth of up to 4mm. If your floor is badly tampered or pitted then a scratch coat may be required. Our resin coatings are designed for residential garages which we we have been laying in garages for 10+ years.
Please get in touch for an accurate quotation.
Get in touch with Veronique to find out how much it will cost to lay a Resin Floor in your garage.

Go bright with a pop of colour or blend it into your colour scheme with our range of grey options. Two textures to choose from and all can be as part of your garage installation OR as a standalone option.
Floor Tiles can be installed in most garages directly onto your current floor and fit together using an interlocking system, without the need for glue, nails or screws. Each tile measures 500x500mm and has a thickness of just 7mm so laying floor tiles will not significantly increase the height of your garage floor. In addition, ramps can be added to the front of your garage to make entering and exiting your garage smooth and easy, whether you are on foot or in a vehicle.
The Floor Tiles that we install have a lifespan of over 20 years. We offer a 10 year warranty and, in the unlikely event that a tile is damaged, it can be easily lifted and replaced in a matter of minutes.
The 7mm thick tile is injection moulded using virgin PVC that has excellent wear characteristics, chemical resistance, long-term stability and stable electrical properties.
