Internal Lining
All offices come with the choice of either unpainted* T&G lining boards or unpainted* 12mm plywood boards with joining strips.
*Please note, these buildings have been painted by the customer after installation.
If you would prefer to plaster your office after installation we would recommend choosing the non-insulated, non-lined and no electric option on the configurator. Alternatively, you can add your own plasterboard on top of the lining provided.
Flooring
All offices come with a 15mm plywood floor which sits on floor joists. The floor is insulated with 70mm PIR insulation and has a DPM built-in. We offer 4 different colour options for the laminate floor which are included in the overall cost of your curved roof office. Alternatively, you can choose to supply and fit your own flooring on top of the 15mm plywood.
Electrics
The Curved Roof Office benefits from the first fix wiring which is hidden in the cavity. It includes 3 x double sockets, 1 x switch, 8 x downlights and a fuse box as standard. All faceplates are included, however they require fitting by a qualified electrician.
The ceiling features a centre board with all the lights, whilst the front overhang includes deck lights which are wired to a high level socket. This allows you to easily change it for a timer, so that lights can come on and off without the need for you to be in the room.
Additional sockets can be added using the configurator, and a plan is provided when the order is placed so that the positions of sockets and switches are identified prior to construction.

Sustainably-Built Curved Roof Garden Room
Our curved roof garden rooms are made from the best quality Western Red Cedar cladding, sourced directly from the managed woodlands of Sweden. We specialise in wooden builds for homes and gardens, so it is our inherent responsibility to maintain relationships with eco-conscious timber suppliers. The woodlands we use for our cedar cladding have been in business for over 125 years, and are proud owners of a PEFC FSC certificate for their dedication to the environment.
Cedar cladding is just one of the many sustainable elements we utilise to build our gorgeous curved roof garden rooms. The uPVC windows and sliding and French doors we have available for custom selection are all sourced from a local family-run business that upholds the same green values that we do.
We at Warwick Buildings are constantly working to adapt and improve our approach to keeping environmental impact low. From our suppliers to our manufacturing, and right the way down to delivery and installation, we make sure that our methods are conscious and sustainable.
The Importance of Managed Woodlands
Managed woodlands are a vital resource to manufacturers of wooden goods. These smartly cultivated forests are maintained for the purpose of regular harvesting. For each tree that is taken, several fast-growing saplings are planted in preparation for the next generation of growth. This method is not to be confused with deforestation, which is devastating to ecosystems and the environment.
Good forestry management involves choosing the oldest trees to harvest, with the goal of boosting tensile strength throughout the crop and encouraging future growth to grow straight and well – which in turn lessens waste during the manufacturing process, as more of the trunk is usable.
This is why all of the cedar cladding we use in our curved roof garden rooms are of the highest quality. We carefully select each tree and inspect the timber for imperfections and knots, meaning each timber plank is cut to perfection with minimal wastage.
Delivery & Installation
You can find out your delivery costs by entering your postcode on the configurator. If the website cannot provide you with a delivery cost please still submit your configuration and we will be in touch.
Installation is included in the overall cost of your building. However, we can offer a supply only discount should you choose to erect the building yourself.
Groundwork Requirements
For the last 30 years, we have tested the various options that are available for the garden building groundwork – remember… this is not a garden shed. The available solutions are a concrete or paving slab base, ground-screws with a timber frame, suspended floors on piles, or timber decks above ground level.
The conclusion is… the best solution for the building is a ground supporting base.
A ground supported base is either a concrete pad or a paving slab base, and requires the soil to be dug out, and shuttered around the perimeter. The shuttering has a damp proof membrane, half filled with compacted hardcore, and finished with either concrete or smooth slabs. The slab needs to be flat and level, constructed to the same size as the building, and can either be done by your local builder or by one recommended by us.
The easiest solution is often a ground screw base, as this requires less man power, machinery and raw materials. It is also something that we can provide as a option for majority of cases. This would only be suitable on sites that are clear of debris, solid surfaces, and level within 200mm.

What groundwork is required for garden offices?
Concrete Pad or Paving Slab Base
150mm compact hardcore: DPM: 100mm concrete: or
150mm compact hardcore: 50mm paving slabs on cement sub base
Garden rooms and offices require a flat & level pad of either concrete or paving slabs.
The base will need to be at least the same size as the building you are looking to have, and you
will require 400mm clearance to objects such as fences, trees or other buildings.
We can work within a 10mm tolerance (which a competent builder can easily achieve).
Alternatively, if you are within our standard radius we are able to offer the option of a ground-screw base (on certain models).
What access do I need in to my garden for you to install the building?
We require a minimum of side access of a minimum width of 600mm and a height of 1950mm to allow us to install your building. Should you be concerned about access in to your garden please email us pictures of the access and we will be able to confirm whether it is suitable.
What size vehicle are the buildings delivered on?
For the majority of our buildings, they are delivered on a 7.5 tonne lorry. This is the typical size of a concrete mixer lorry and will take up the equivalent space of 2 standard vehicles. We will require parking for our vehicle as close as possible to your property.
Is my garden room/office suitable for year round use?
The Garden Rooms and Offices are fully insulated for year round use. They are designed to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer, however the location in your garden will have an impact on how warm / cool the building is.
North faced gardens will have buildings that are naturally cooler throughout the year, whilst south facing garden will be naturally warmer throughout the year.
A building in the shade or in a north faced garden, will need a small heater during the winter months, but will remain cosy when the building is up to temperature.
A building in direct sunlight or in a south facing garden will benefit from more ventilation and blinds between the glass to keep the building cooler.
How long will my building take to build on site?
Garden Rooms are usually constructed within 1-2 days (up to 6.2m x 3.6m sizes) depending on the final specifications.
Garages up to 6.1m x 6.1m are usually constructed within 1 day. Larger buildings will often take 2 days on site.
Commercial Buildings usually take 1 week on site – depending on the final specification.
How long will my building last?
We regularly have customers that have buildings re-roofed at 15 and twenty years old – who are quite confident that their buildings will last double that time if they get general maintenance and care.
This building was taken by a customer and we have worked out that it was 18 years old, and was still original. The customer has painted the building regularly with Protek Woodstain.
This garden office is 12 years old and has been regularly treated with Dark Oak wood protector. It features timber doors and windows, along with brown felt tiles.
This garage is 24 years old and still has it’s original layer of green mineral felt.
What is the lead time?
The lead time for a building can vary between 2 – 6 months.
You are welcome to book in advance to secure a delivery slot, and still make adjustments to the design up to the point that the base has been constructed.
(Please note that items that have been specifically order for you will still need to be paid for)
Can my garden room be used as a music studio?
We can provide RWA45 Rockwool acoustic insulation in place of the standard insulation and the option to upgrade to triple-glazed doors and windows.
RB Studios in Birmingham have utilised 5 of our garden offices as music studios. These studios have been used by many famous Artists and Bands, and are Birmingham’s longest established recording and rehearsal studios.
How do I get internet to my garden room/garden office?
There are two ways to get internet to the new Garden Office.
Option 1 is to have a CAT 5 cable coming from a router in your house, down the garden and into the back of the building.
We can supply a back box specifically for a CAT 5 cable. Usually the cable is better to be unbroken – hence we don’t internally wire with a CAT 5 cable to pug into
Option 2 is to purchase a WiFi extender kit or a mobile data dongle.
Please explain the electrics?
Garden Rooms and Offices include the first fix wiring, along with the consumer unit, lighting and the faceplates.
All wiring is installed within the cavity and is ready for an electrician to connect the tail ends of the wiring at the consumer unit and the faceplates.
The electrician will need to provide and install a power feed from your house / garage to the new building – usually a 6mm armoured cable is used. The wiring provided is 1.5mm cables for lighting on a 6 Amp fused circuit, and 2.5mm cables with a 32 Amp breaker for the sockets – on a ring main.
There is space for a 3rd breaker if it is required for another feed.
It usually takes half a day for the internal connections, plus the time required for the electrician to install the cable that you require.
Our electrician can offer customers in Warwickshire and Worcestershire with installation and certification independently – please contact him directly (Andy Punnett) via his website www.aspelectrics.co.uk If you live in Berkshire or Hampshire, please contact Ben Thorp on 07917 131984
Please explain the window options available?
We have suppliers for u-PVC and aluminium windows, all of which can be fitted into any of our buildings.
u-PVC Windows are the standard option for Garden Rooms and Offices due to their maintenance free properties. Available in a a choice of colours, but usually supplied in the popular Anthracite Grey or Black. The u-PVC windows can be fitted into any of our buildings and it is becoming increasingly more common to have them in garages and workrooms.
Aluminium is usually provided as bi-fold doors. Windows are available in Aluminium again available in a range of colours – with Anthracite grey being the most popular choice. You can select u-PVC as this also matches the Aluminium Bi-Fold doors.
