Painted Garden Room

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Mr & Mrs F were looking to extend their living space and have somewhere to play table tennis.  They were also looking for some extra storage space to free up the garage.  A site visit was arranged with Martin Baker.    Many different design options were discussed and due to the size required for the main building and the position, it was decided that the main building would be 6000×3650mm (20×12ft) with a 3000×1450mm (10×4’6’’) storage shed attached to the back,  linked with decking.

Mr & Mrs F accepted our quotation to do the whole project apart from digging the trench for the sub-main, which they decided they could do themselves. We set to work with a timber framed base that extended out to include the decking, also leaving the provision to add decking to the front at a later time.

The building chosen was our Kestrel garden room,  with a  tailor made  woodpecker to attach to the back. The main building is insulated, lined and double glazed as standard, with additional options of our security pack. The customers were seeking a slightly different look than our standard finish, so they decided to add Black slate effect roof tiles, Satin chrome furniture and the whole building treated in Sadolin “Alumina” . This gives a very modern and striking look to a classic building. The storage part was designed to fit the ping pong table in and the double doors make this easily accessible.

Once the building was completed our electrician connected the sub-main, installed a 3kw Dimplex heater, 2 bow lights on dimmers, four chrome double sockets and an external PIR light. The system was installed as a TT installation, for maximum safety and protection.

If you would like more information on this project please contact us and quote ref DS4070.

Thanks Martin, the roof looks really good, if the other option works out too exspensive, then this is definately an acceptable option on my part!!. Thank you for all the time you took today. Speak soon. Kindest regards. Teresa

Hi Teresa,
Glad you like it, It goes so well with the paint colour doesn’t it. It was my pleasure to visit you and go through all your requirements today. I am working on the other option and look forward to seeing you at the show ground on Tuesday.

  • "I feel I should write to say how pleased I am with the Skylark. What with that and the Kestrel I am absolutely delighted. Having been in Facilities Management over the past forty years I have observed a varied cross section of tradesmen and I feel I should comment on how impressed I was with your installation team. They did a first class job, were extremely courteous and left the place spotless. A real credit to your company. I would urge any future customers to use the install option as it represents such excellent value for money and leaves you with the peace of mind that any issues will be rectified. That said, our Kestrel Summer House has given us 5 years free of any trouble with hopefully many more to come. Thanks again"

  • "I had a Falcon cabin/shed installed in 2008, the whole process was an absolute breeze. Bakers made the design process easy and catered for my needs perfectly. The actual build was amazing, the cabin went up so quickly and without fuss, each time I turned away and back again, the next section was up. 2 years on the cabin still looks like new and is used daily. Well done Bakers, great service all round !"

  • "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!!"
