Surlingham Garden Room

Bruce and Cynthia, South Norfolk
“We are delighted with our new garden building. Tristen listened carefully to our requirements and produced a design that fully answered them. The build itself was swift and clean, with minimal disruption and a thorough clear up at the end. Tristen and his team worked tirelessly and efficiently through pretty much all types of British weather and were flexible and problem-solving at all stages. The design specifications were of a high standard, as is the finished result. Highly recommended!"

Client Brief

Our customers have an immaculate garden, which was being let down by a tired old summerhouse. They wanted a new home gym with enough style to match the rest of their property. 
 
Being keen gardeners, they wanted to use a cladding material which will in time weather and look natural so decided to go for the varied tones of Canadian Cedar.

Challenges & Solutions

  • Build time - 14 working days

  • There was an existing old summerhouse and decking which we dismantled and disposed of prior to our build

  • This was sat on a concrete pad, which was strong and level enough for us to reuse. However, the customer wanted the garden room to be 1m further forwards than the old structure, which meant we needed to extend the concrete pad at the front and remove some of the old concrete to the rear of the building to avoid water pooling under the base

  • Customer wanted to install their own infra-red heating panels so we provided reinforcement in the walls where they were to be mounted
