Garage Conversion wall
We want garage conversion to an office, (half of the garage - so keeping the original door and the front half used as a garage) what type of wall do we need to build in making the partitian? Does it need to be blockwork or can it be a stud wall? If it helps, we live in a detached house with an integral garage, house is a new build by Curo. Construction completed in 2022. The wall around the garage (all sides) is a blockwork construction, its a structural wall. I wont be knocking any walls down as part of this work, just cutting a single doorway.

Garage wall mould
I’ve got a garage in the garden and in the summer I decided to fix OSB3 to the internal wall and paint it with a wood primer which is water based to make the wall look tidy since the person who plastered it didn’t do a good job. Now that winter is here I’ve noticed mould growing on parts of the wall. What can I do to fix it apart from using mould removal spray, looking for a permanent solution.
