Contemporary Bi-fold Garden Room

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Mr B was looking to get more living space out of his property, not wanting to move and about to start building works, he fell in love with the bi-fold room. This building has started out as his dinningroom whilst the building work is being done, once finished it will become another reception room to entertain all year round.

We undertook the whole project, starting with some ground  clearance and a timber framed base. This base was extended out to create a integral decking area on 2 levels. This means when the weather is hot the integration of the room and decking is seamless.

To give privacy the side window was removed from the standard design  and  the customer decided to have the door opening out to maximise the internal space. The whole building is insulated & lined to the four walls, roof and floor, and double

glazed as standard. Mr B added the Maple laminate floor to match with the decking,  Bio-cool glass that self cleans and reduces heat, and Walnut Sikkens top coat treatment for maximum protection.

Our electrics team installed the sub main under the decking and the building was kitted out with internal and external down lights on a dimmer, four chrome double sockets flush fitted with a double external socket on the outside wall. Heating for the winter is provided by a Dimplex convector heater, plus phone and TV lines were run out in case this is needed in the future.

Keep and eye on this blog for more pictures once the building work is completed and this is turned in to a lounge.

Hi Mr Lewis,
We would need to do a site survey to cost the base and electrics but what you have sound fine for us to make the project work for you. The Kestrel 11×12 is £5266 including Base coat preservative, delivery, Lining and insulation to the 4 walls and roof, All glass double glazed, installation and VAT. If there is a removal of one wall there could be a saving depending on the complexity of the attachment.

To discuss this more feel free to contact me direct on 01444 247192 or martin@bakerstimber.co.uk.

Kind regards
Martin Baker

  • "I arranged to have a major workshop/office built by Bakers, adjusted to my needs to include hot water, electricity and sanitation provisions, and the whole process went through expertly - the final assmbly was completed while I was away on business, and I came back to a substantial new "Log Cabin Office" which my clients and colleagues now refer to as the Deer Hunter's Lodge !"

  • "I purchased a large Raven workshop in Summer 2006, and have just come back to Bakers to order a smaller version for elsewhere in the garden. Having seen that the company now has this "comments" section, I want to say that I recommend the company unreservedly. The workshop has been really economical to heat for four winters now (I had it supplied fully insulated, which I would advise in the UK!), and has been completely watertight. My experience of working in the building has been a very positive one, and I'm delighted with the product. The proof of the pudding is in the eating - Bakers will now be constructing another workshop for me - enough said!"

  • "Originally we used your Kestrel as an office to start our business with desk and computer. Now we use it as a garden summerhouse and utility room fully insulated with heating and lighting having the freezer and tumble drier. Around 14 years old it has matured into our patio area extremely well. It also has everything required for patio life, fridge, ice and drinks dispenser, barbecue accessories, even a television. Bakers' Timber buildings are most versatile and it has stood the test of time! What a great investment it was, every house should have one!!"

  • "We are delighted with our new Skylark building, it looks gorgeous in the garden and we love the colour too. Thank you very much for the excellent service provided by your really professional,cheerful and friendly team. John and Liz Ballinger"

  • "After much research Bakers stands well above all other timber buildings in quality. This friendly family run company have been nothing short of superb from start to finish. It has been a real pleasure to receive old fashioned attention to detail and customer service from all at Bakers. Our new Kestrel summerhouse has given us an extra living room which with the sofa bed is also a spare bedroom. The climate control gives us all year use in comfort. We are the envy of all our neighbours and friends. We would recommend Bakers to anyone. Forget the rest, fit the best."
