Do you submit drawings of the offices and garden for approval?
Yes. With our proposal we will include drawings showing how the office will look and how it will be located in your garden.
What type of base construction do your provide and is it included?
Yes it is included. We always aim to put down a concrete base. This obviously is very solid, helps greatly with waterproofing, will not move and is very durable. In addition, more often than not we strengthen the base by putting steel reinforcing mesh in the concrete.

Yes. We commonly use stained sawn weatherboard but any material such as shiplap or oak can be used.
Can I choose a roofing material?
Yes. Anything from Asphalt tiles, slates, clay tiles can be selected but we most commonly use cedar shingles.

Yes. We will run a suitable supply from your existing consumer unit in the house, to a new sub main and consumer unit in the
garden office. Provide as many double sockets as you need at whatever height you want with all cabling hidden. A spur for the heater will be included.

As our garden home offices have a conventional ceiling we are able to provide excellent light levels using recessed spot lights in the ceiling. External lighting is also provided.
Are other services included?
Yes. Telephone, broadband, alarm, intercom, video link, remote light switching etc. In addition, should water be required or drainage this can be included in your package. All services will usually be trenched to your house and connected to existing supplies.

Do you complete the internal decorations?
Yes. We normally fully decorate your garden office building in the design and colour of your choice. We also lay the floor finish if required.

As our garden office buildings are a high quality product built to
your specification it cannot be put together in a few days. We would
normally anticipate starting on site 3 or 4 weeks after receipt of your order and the project taking 3 to 4 weeks to complete.
