Just stumbled across this useful thread. @Quattromike what did you do in the end?

We didn't install any heating in the building, it has 100mm insulated sheets on the roof and 80mm insulated sheets on the sides, insulated sectional doors, it's all sealed up and keeps the temperature inside well. We have one portable space heater which heats the whole building and it works well. Even when -10 outside it's a nice warm place to work in. As long as you keep the door shut
.Have been thinking about a destratification fan like we have in the other workshop but not done anything yet. The OHC means it would need to be very high and not sure how much good it would do.

Been running the space heater quite a bit last few weeks heats the building fine and never been a problem until this week it’s started giving off some fumes, guys keep running it dry which doesn’t help, is there a way to help this like new nozzle or something or is it time to replace ? It only 3 years old, Sealey AB3412 space warmer. We run kerosene in it.We didn't install any heating in the building, it has 100mm insulated sheets on the roof and 80mm insulated sheets on the sides, insulated sectional doors, it's all sealed up and keeps the temperature inside well.

Spiteful things. We had one in the yard and it gave me rage. Couldn’t fix the bloody thing, and bear in mind that’s what I do for a living. Albeit it was a Chinese one .
New nozzle and check fuel supply clean and unobstructed is always first place to start though
