The Benefits of a Small Garden Office
Many people across the UK have transitioned to working from home either part or full time, but often they lack the necessary space to make this comfortable, working within cramped or loud conditions. Suitable for even a compact city garden, a small garden office is an amazing way to create a dedicated work area within your outdoor space. Warwick Buildings produces a range of beautiful garden rooms, perfect for a home office. All of our buildings are fully insulated, with lights and mains power as standard, offering everything you could need to create a comfortable and attractive work environment in your garden..
Each of our range of garden rooms can be customised extensively around your needs. Everything from the dimensions to the height to the interior and exterior panelling will be up to you, letting you create the ideal work environment whatever your job may be. Through our website, you can use our configurator tool to design your ideal garden building, receiving an instant quote for manufacture, delivery, and assembly.

Could You Benefit From a Small Garden Office?
A quality garden office functions in much the same way as an extension, adding extra living space to your home. If you are currently working from home in unsuitable conditions, or looking to work from home in the future, then a garden room can be a great solution, creating the space you need without having to move properties or pay for an extension.
A small garden office will comfortably be able to fit a sturdy desk, an ergonomic chair and a monitor, the essentials of most modern work setups. There should also be space for shelving or a printer unit, if needed. Alternatively, you can create a small garden office for other businesses, such as a small photography studio or a workshop.
A clear benefit of having a dedicated, private space within your garden to work from is that it creates a work environment that is distinct from your house. This can help you to concentrate when working and to relax when in your home, with a clear divide between the spaces. A small garden office can be the ideal way to work from home, creating a high-quality living space within your garden.
Our Bespoke Design Process
Warwick Buildings offers a range of attractive garden room designs, many of which are perfect for building a small garden office. Our Box Office and Contemporary models both come in 2.6m x 2.4m dimensions, while our Studio and Pod designs can both be manufactured in a 3.2m x 2.4m size. All of our small garden office designs are easy to customise through our online configurator tool, allowing you to select the dimensions, height, cladding, and other design features. This helps our customers to order a product specifically tailored to their needs and the size of their garden, be that a compact city garden or a larger rural one. It also allows them to pick models meeting their aesthetic desires, with both modern and more rustic looks available.
You can also customise the type, size, and number of windows in your small garden office design, allowing you to attract sunlight into your workspace or specifically block it out to avoid glare. The look of your small garden office can also be decided by you, with several options for both external and internal cladding, alongside several shades of laminate flooring. You can opt for a small garden office pod, with several windows on one side to attract light but none on another to avoid glare.
Once you’ve designed the ideal garden building through our site, you’ll be able to get an immediate quote for manufacture and installation, with our skilled team of installers often completing work within the day. We emphasise quality at every stage, designing our buildings to last for many years with minimal upkeep.
Insulated Garden Offices For All UK Seasons
Insulation is standard within our whole range of garden office buildings, with a choice of Rockwool or PIR insulation. Our windows and doors are double glazed as standard, with the option for triple glazing available. This means that our insulated garden offices are fully usable throughout both summer and winter, ensuring that your workspace is comfortable year-round.

FAQ's
Do I need groundwork for my garden room?
Our Garden Rooms can either be installed on to a concrete or paving slab base (customer to organise with a local contractor). Alternatively, if you are within our standard radius, then we are able to offer the option of a ground-screw base, with timber frame. (Please note, ground-screws are only available on selected models).
Will I need planning permission to build a garden room?
In the majority of cases planning permission will not be needed to install a garden room. If looking to build within 2m of the boundary around your garden, you will have to opt for our default 2.5m height. In some select cases, such as when your house is a listed building, or when your garden borders an area of outstanding natural beauty, you may need to apply for planning permission. We recommend contacting your local building authority with any concerns you may have about building a garden room.
If you require planning permission, you will need a local planning consultant or architect to prepare the drawings required for a planning application. We can provide the information for you to allow the drawings to be produced. You can then either submit the application yourself or employ someone to do so on your behalf.

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.
The size I required isn’t listed, can you still build it?
The price list has been created to give a price for our most common sizes. If you require a different size to fit in a space available, please contact us to get an accurate price.
Because each building is individually created for you, a guide for the price would be the closest to the size that you are looking to have. Please do get in touch on 01926 815757 and talk to us about your project.
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.
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)
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
What maintenance is required?
The weather, location and the sun can all have an effect on buildings, however throughout our 35 years we understand how our product works and how it stands up to the test of time.
Your maintenance schedule should be:
- To clean the gutters out to keep free from debris
- Adjust doors and windows that have expanded or contracted through weather conditions
- Remove debris from the roof
- Treat the outside of the building as required to maintain an attractive appearance. (This provides a waterproof coat to the timber and keeps the moisture content of the wood consistent – which in turn improves the stability of the timber, and reduces the expansion & contraction of the timber)
Our guarantee is in respect of design and manufacturing faults, corrosion and rot for 10 years from the date of installation.
