Our Complete Garden Room Package!

Monday, July 18th, 2011

When we say we offer a complete package for garden room build, we really mean it and one of our latest projects really shows our total service.

This project required a full self-contained room in the garden and then a full garden landscape. We started with the service trench – this included water main in at 1m deep, back fill to 0.5 for SWA electrical cable back fill some more to the communication pipe, including internet, phone and TV cabling. We then set above this the drainage out to main drain manhole at the side of the house.

Once this element was complete we set to work on the base, first getting a few tree stumps removed we then fitted our steel and timber framed option, as it works so well when running water services and on unlevel ground. While the base was being installed the factory was underway with the production of the building.

The building is based on a Kite wooden garden room, 6m x 3m (20×10ft) with a partition running front to back to give a separate shower room. The building had our standard TGV lining to the front and sides but we fitted a firewall to the rear to keep within the building regulations. By fitting a firewall (non-combustible), it meant that we could install a building up to a boundary, instead of 1m away on any building up to 30sqm, saving potentially crucial space. We also kept the building and base under 2.5m high, so no planning permission was required.

As with all our garden rooms the building was insulated using a Selotex upgrade in the fire wall, all the glass is double
glazed and toughened. This customer also added: an insulated floor, with our antique white V laminate; the security pack; a 1m roof overhang to the right hand side of the building – all finished in our Walnut Sikkens HLS.

Once this was done our plumber and electrician installed the toilet, wash basin & power shower, hot water, expelair, heating, lights & sockets that the customer had requested. In the meantime, our landscape team set to work on the Indian sandstone patio & path, stone to the other areas and if you were thinking that grass looks too good to be true, you have a keen eye!! The customer has two children and a dog and wanted a mud-free back garden so we fitted artificial grass for all year round use. We then fitted the palisade fence for the children’s safety and a main gate in to the garden. This wooden garden room and garden give great all year round use and really extends your living space.

  • "We purchased our Kestrel chalet in 1995 and have been very pleased with it and would recommend Bakers to anyone.We have a Sauna, Jacuzzi and Shower in it with a tiled floor and is used all the year round. We had it made with extra height so that the Sauna would fit in.The felt roof is as good as new but have now just replaced the wood on the gable ends and Martin Baker could not have been more helpfull in supplying the new wood. I can't complain after 17 years of constant use and enjoyment it was a brillant buy and has added value to our property. A big thank you to Bakers Timber Buildings."

I happily work in it all day and am looking forward to the summer when I can have all the doors and windows flung wide to the garden. I have been delighted with the committment to customer service from Bakers. I would use them again."

  • "I have had two Bakers sheds in my time in Burgess Hill. The first is 22 years old and still in terrific condition. The second 10 years old and I have just re sited this at my Daughters in Manchester, it was in such good condition. So, when I wanted to build a big lean-to shed alongside the house there was only one place to go!! I have not been disappointed. The shed has been built and lead flashed into the side of the building and it looks magnificent. Martin Baker and his team have done a wonderful job on it. It was delivered on time, built very well with a great base going down first and the attention to detail was superb. No request was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile. Martin was the epitome of customer service. I would recommend Bakers to anyone. Thanks for the shed."

  • "After many months of research into garden rooms, I found Bakers. Their buildings were lovely and I was excited about the possibility of choosing excactly what I wanted. My whole experience of Bakers was superb. They were patient with my needs, very helpful and the final result is gorgeous. The cost was very reasonable but still the building is of a very high quality. It was built quickly and efficiently and I am looking forward to treating many patients in my bright, sunny beautifully crafted garden room. a big thank you to Martin and his team"

  • "Bakers made my dream come true! I had an idea in my mind for a number of years for a garden building, a redundancy payment, Martin, Keith and their expert team made it come true. They interpreted my ideas offering knowledgeable advice and suggestions, bearing in mind the site of the building and came up with a design for a 20 X 10 foot bespoke garden room, complete with shingle roof which I am absolutely delighted with. The dedicated and friendly team of lads and electrician worked in some exceptionally bad weather conditions to complete the construction on schedule, for which I thank them so much. Bakers were able to offer the whole package, which was extremely important for me, including drawing up of plans, submission to the Council and complete project management, taking the stress out of things. In addition their after care service is exceptional, nothing is too much trouble and therefore I have no hesitation in recommending them."
