cost of building a 12 square metre garage including waste removal
I would like to have a 12 square metre garage added to the side of my house. How much should I expect to pay for this if I am based in the general London area?

And as for the waste removal cost, is this something that the extension builders can be paid to take care of or will I need to hire another company?
