What is a Homestead Garden Office?
Homestead Garden Offices are freestanding garden buildings, which have mobile
home technology with fully insulated cavity walls. This ensures that the inside
of the Garden Office stays cool in the hottest of summers and warm in the
coldest of winters.
Why build a Garden Office or Garden Building?
Homestead Garden Offices have numerous benefits to your family.
They will add an extra 'room' option to your house, which would be much cheaper
and far quicker than building an extension.
Our Garden Offices are an ideal working environment. A fully functional WC
can usually be installed in every Garden Office, and your new garden building
will create more space in the main home.
Homestead Garden Offices are also ideal as a home office or garden art studio
where our opening roof skylights are particularly useful.
Building a Homestead Garden Office or Timber Garden Building
Why a full concrete base and not pads?
Homestead Garden Offices are built at our Oxfordshire Garden Building factory
and delivered in pre fabricated timber sections. These are assembled on a
concrete base foundation that we will have previously installed as part of our Garden Buildings Package.
Unlike a pad system, often recommended by other Timber Building companies, our
installed concrete base will prevent unwanted intrusion beneath your garden
Garden Office by vermin and create an unmovable foundation that will never sink
or flex that would lead to sticking windows and doors in the future.
The concrete base of your Garden Office is mixed on site with minimal disruption
in your garden and sits on top of the ground to prevent rainwater 'flooding'
beneath the heavy-duty insulated timber floor that we include. Also no intrusive
ground excavation will be necessary for the construction of your garden Garden
Office.
The timber clad sections of your Garden Office will have been pre- painted or
wood-stained to a colour of your choice prior to delivery and arrive with fitted
double glazed windows and doors ready for our cavity wall insulation system.
Why cavity wall insulation?
Insulation
of the wall cavities and internal wall and ceiling linings is essential for year
round use and are applied on site similar to 'mobile home' technology.
Do not accept a 'single thicknesses' of exterior cladding as satisfactory
insulation as offered by some companies. If this were able to keep you warm in
winter then houses would be built from one thickness of brick and not have
cavity wall insulation.
This is why 'log cabin' style buildings 'appear' to be cheaper, but will of
course be ineffective in the long term.
You can then programme our installed electric panel heater with thermostat and
timer to come on and off just like your central heating.
Our included electrical package includes all the double sockets and lights that
you need in your garden Garden Office, the connection of your new garden
building to the house supply and issue a safety certificate compliant with
building regulations.
This is included in the price of our timber buildings and in our experience is not offered by many other companies.
All our Garden Office & Garden Buildings are designed to last 30 years.
Garden Offices with year round appeal
Our fully insulated Garden Offices & Timber Garden Buildings can be installed
with fully functional shower facilities making our garden Garden Offices the
ideal spare guest room for any summer & winter weekend visitors.
A Homestead Garden Office even makes an ideal extra homeroom, an additional
garden eating area with a kitchenette installed for additional cost.
