Tailor made garden room in Ditchling

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Mr B was looking for a garden room for the corner of his garden to catch the morning sun. It would be backing on to an existing garage that has a 40degree roof pitch, and he though it would be nice to match that roof.  After a site visit and some consultation, the design was set.

The building was based on our Merlin garden room; we removed the right hand windows, and made special size right hand side windows to match the front. This included a large opening window for ventilation.

We started with getting and old tree root removed, then we laid a concrete base. This base was extended out the front for a further 1-meter; at the back we laid a weed membrane and stones.

The building was installed with in two days and included; lining and insulation to the 4 walls roof and floor, double-gazing,  tile  effect laminated floor, red diagonal tiles to the roof and finished with 2 coats of Sikkens Walnut.Once the building was finished our electrician ran a new sub main out to the building from the garage then installed lighting and sockets, the heating is produced from a freestanding unit.

To finish the room off we laid a small patio to the front of the building that matched the existing patios in the garden.

  • "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!!"

  • "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."
