What this involves
A garden office built properly, not bought off a pallet
A garden office or studio, sometimes called a garden office pod, is a room built in the garden as separate, usable space. It suits anyone who needs a home office, a studio, or a quiet room separate from the house, and wants it designed around their garden rather than assembled from a flat-pack kit. We would rather not take the job than use the wrong materials for it, and that starts with what the base and frame are built from, not just what colour it is painted.
- Designed around your garden, not a garden kit
- Multiple site visits are normally undertaken to check access, base and orientation before anything is ordered
- Drawings first, whether that is pen sketches or AI-generated visuals, so you see it before we build it
What to expect from us on a garden office build
Three things that stay true whichever design you land on.
01Designed around your garden, not a standard footprint
We visit, measure and talk through what the space is for before any drawing is made, so the design fits the plot rather than the other way round.
02Carpentry carried out by Alex
Alex carries out the carpentry himself, with subcontractors assisting on larger jobs.
03A tidy site from first fix to last
Dust extraction and floor, driveway and garden protection are standard on every job, and the site is left tidier than we found it at the end of each day.
What is included as standard
Every garden office we build starts from the same base standards.
Written quote after a visit
A site visit first, then a written quote, so there is nothing to guess at.
Base built to suit the ground
The base is chosen for what is actually under your garden, agreed on site before we build.
First fix through to second fix
Studwork and framing through to trim and finish.
Drawings before we build
Pen sketches, drawings or AI-generated visuals, so you know what you are getting before work starts.
Dust extraction and site protection
Floors, driveways and the rest of the garden protected for the length of the build.
Materials we trust
We would rather not do the job than build it from materials we do not trust.
Pricing
What a garden office costs
Every job is priced after a visit
What a garden office costs depends on the size of the room, the ground it stands on, the finish you want, and access to your garden. A figure given before that visit would not survive contact with your actual plot, so we would rather price it properly.
- A site visit, then a written quote
- Priced on materials we would actually use, not a starting figure to beat
A garden office is priced on its size, base and finish, so every job is quoted after a visit rather than from a rate card.

Excellent service, very punctual very tidy, craftsmanship above expectations. genuinely very happy to deal with Alex any time. Sincerely recommend this company it's very refreshing to see a trade person who is proud of his craftsmanship. He is really an artist did not leave a spec of dust Thank you Alex
Nick F.
Alex is fantastic, really diligent and a great guy to have help with a project. He has just laid a solid wooden floor for me. It looks brilliant. The trouble is I'm not sure it's such a great idea to give him a great review as it will make him even more popular and in demand
John B.
What a find a decent ,hardworking person who loves his trade and it shows in his workmanship absolutely excellent. Will be recommending him to anyone who wants any sort of carpentry job. On a final note very reasonably priced for the craftsmanship.

The things people ask before they book
Answered here, so nobody has to ask when we arrive.
Will building work make a mess of the garden?
Floors, driveways and the rest of the garden are protected for the whole build, and the site is left tidy at the end of every day.
Do I need planning permission for a garden office?
A garden office may not need planning permission, but that depends on your plot, its size and height, and how close it sits to a boundary, so it is worth checking with your local council, and we talk it through at the site visit rather than assume it either way.
What if something is not right once it is finished?
If something is not right after Alex has finished, he comes back and puts it right.
More about garden offices and studios
A garden office needs a base that suits the ground it stands on, and gardens across Poole and the surrounding towns vary in what is underneath them. That is settled at the site visit rather than guessed at from a brochure, which is also why we do not publish a single spec sheet for every garden.
A garden office may not need planning permission, but the detail depends on the size of the structure, its height and how close it sits to a boundary or a neighbouring property. Where a garden sits in a conservation area, that can change the answer, so it is worth checking with your local council rather than assuming either way.
How the room is built matters more than how it looks once it is up, which is why the base, the frame and the materials are worked through with you before anything is ordered.
Garden Offices & Studios: questions we get asked
Phrased exactly as customers ask them.
Do I need planning permission for a garden office?
A garden office may not need planning permission, but the size, height and how close it sits to a boundary can change that, and some gardens have their own restrictions. Check with your local council, and we talk it through against your specific plot at the site visit rather than assuming it either way.
How much does a garden office cost?
It depends on the size of the room, the ground it stands on, the finish you want, and access to your garden. We price every garden office after a visit rather than from a rate card, so the figure reflects your actual plot rather than an average one.
Will I see the design before you start building?
Yes. We work up pen sketches, drawings or AI-generated visuals before ordering materials, so you know what you are getting before any work starts.
What is the difference between a garden office and a summer house?
A summer house is typically a lighter structure for occasional use. A garden office is designed for regular working use, with the size, base and finish agreed with you before building starts.
