South West London garden office installation



Our latest garden office installation in South west London in Surbiton.
For a change we'll start with the finished product and work back towards the starting point.

The log cabin is our very popular Cheltenham log cabin lowered to 2.5m ridge height for planning purposes.

This cabin is finished in Jacobean walnut produced by Sadolin one of our two recommended paint manufacturers the other being osmo wood stain & protector.


The flooring used in this case is solid oak 18mm real wood flooring produced by Wickes.

The completed floor really adds a touch of quality to the final product.


Supplied with underfloor heating this garden office should be cosy throughout the year.

Both the floor and the ceiling are fitted with 50mm Celotex sheets. Celotex and Kingspan 50mm sheets are high quality insulation materials far superior to rockwool or the thin bubble foil sheets often called "insulation" by our competitors. There is no substitute for the best insulation available.

To be honest we do not get too hung up on the width of the double glazing units as we are dealing with garden buildings and the difference a bigger gap makes is minimal but as you can see the distance between the panes of glass in the Cheltenham log cabin is quite substantial.

44mm logs provide a robust garden office and the quality of the timber is superb.


Its not often you see a brick wall that isnt level but you can be assured the concrete base is level! 100mm thick concrete base completed.
