Garden buildings and structures
Garden offices and timber frame buildings, garage fitouts, fencing and decking. Built to be usable in winter, not just in summer.
What this usually is
Most people come to me wanting a room at the end of the garden, and most of the ones they have looked at online are sheds with a plug socket. The difference is what you cannot see once it is finished: the base it sits on, how the frame is tied together, how much insulation went into the walls and roof, and whether the cladding will still look right in five years.
I build the frame on site rather than dropping in a kit, which means it fits the plot you actually have, including the awkward corner and the fall across the lawn. Insulated, lined and wired ready for whoever is doing the electrics, so it is warm in winter and you are not looking for an extension lead.
Typical jobs
- Garden offices and studios, insulated for year round use
- Timber frame outbuildings, workshops and stores
- Garage fitouts, lining, insulating and shelving out
- Decking, raised platforms and steps
- Fencing, gates and screening built to last more than a season
On site
What this looks like while it is happening
Setting the base out square. The rest of the build is only as good as this.
A pergola frame going up, cut to fit the patio underneath it.
Screening and cladding, cut and fixed on site to suit the plot.
Frame up before the cladding goes on.
Cedar clad and finished, roof planted rather than felted.
A period style orangery, built as a garden room rather than a lean to.
A pergola walkway, built to shade the path rather than just decorate it.
Decking around a pool, level and drained properly rather than just laid.
