Common Questions and Answers

I've compared your prices to your competitors and you are much better value for a similar or lesser specification, why? We manufacture our studio's ourselves so there are no middlemen who take their cut. We also constantly price check to ensure we give you the best value, but not at the expense of quality.  

How long until delivery? We generally quote four to six weeks, but can often supply sooner than this.

What is the quality of the windows and doors? Our opening windows and doors are individually made by a market leading manufacturer. They are professionally finished with an exterior based quality Sadolin or Ronseal woodstain. The windows are double glazed and have trickle vents to aid air circulation, the doors are also double glazed. Doors frames are made of hardwood for extra durability.

Will my garden studio be secure? Yes just like your house the windows and doors are lockable and we include a 5-lever lock with 2 keys as standard.

Will I have to treat and maintain the external cladding? Our external cladding is pre-treated for added durability and can be painted or stained to your liking which would need maintaining from time to time. As part of our after sales service we can do this for you or alternatively you can simply do it yourself or contact a local tradesman. 

How long will the roofing last? For the Traditional design we use high quality Finnish made Katepal asphalt shingles as standard which are very durable and should last for many years. We can also provide Cedar shingles which generally have a life span of at least 20 years. For the Contemporary design we use PVC clad steel sheeting which should also last decades.

Will the floor wobble when I walk on it? Our garden studios are built on a sturdy frame and we use floor joists at 50-60cm centres and thick 18mm boarding, screwed rather than nailed ensuring the floor doesn’t creak or flex when walked on.

How are the internal walls finished? We don't believe plasterboard is the right material to use for timber framed garden buildings due to potential cracking issues so we clad the interior walls and roof space of our garden studio's with 6mm white MDF sheeting for a clean, bright finish. We can also supply pine cladding which can be left in its natural state or painted or stained.

I have limited access to my garden, is this a problem? Not usually. Our studio's are built in sections and erected on site so as long as there is a path at the side of the house and no tight turns there shouldn't be a problem. We can come and check beforehand if you wish. 

Why don't you include VAT in your prices?

We are currently not VAT registered so the price you see is what you pay; no hidden extra's.
