I insulated mine.

First step was to fix 75 x 50mm studs, then Celotex between them (hint
- use 600mm centres or gaps so that one sheet can be ripped lengthwise
for two spaces).

I then attached 18mm ply, primed and painted white. This makes a
huge difference in that it can easily and economically be maintained
at room temperature while working and is dry. Things can easily be
fixed anywhere to the wall and it is a light place in which to work.

Well worth the investment.




Do you need to comply with building regs to do things like this?

If you mean is a building notice or application required, as I
understand it not. It is not being used as a habitable space, purely
as a workshop and for storage.

In my case it is also detached from the house, so there are no
implications from it being integral.

I could find nothing in the Building Regulations Statutory Instruments
that would suggest the need for an application or notice.
