Local garden office & studio installation
Types of garden offices & studios
Garden Office Pods: Compact and modern, these stand-alone structures are perfect for small spaces and are designed for efficient work environments.
Insulated Garden Offices: Built with proper insulation, these offices are ideal for year-round use, providing comfort in all weather conditions.
Garden Shed Offices: A functional upgrade to a traditional shed, these offer a budget-friendly option for creating a home workspace or studio in your garden.
Cost of a garden office
The cost of installing a garden office can vary based on size, materials, and additional features*:
- Basic Garden Office: For a small, simple structure, costs start around £5,000 to £10,000.
- Insulated Garden Office: An insulated garden office or pod, complete with electricity and heating, may cost between £10,000 and £20,000 or more, depending on the quality of materials and insulation.
- Custom Garden Studio: Larger, fully bespoke garden offices or studios with premium features can cost upwards of £20,000.
*Additional costs may arise for features like plumbing, wiring, or foundations.
How long does it take to install a garden office?
The installation time for a garden office depends on the size and complexity of the project. For small garden office pods, the process usually takes around 1 to 2 weeks. Larger, custom-built offices or studios that include additional features like plumbing or advanced electrical systems may take between 3 to 6 weeks to complete. Factors such as weather, site preparation, and customization can also impact the timeline.
Other garden office & studio FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a garden office?
In most cases, garden offices do not require planning permission as long as they meet certain size and height restrictions. However, it’s always best to check with your local authority, especially if you live in a listed building or conservation area.
Does a garden office or studio increase house value?
Yes, a well-designed garden office or studio can increase the value of your property by providing additional, functional space that appeals to potential buyers.
Can you have a toilet in a garden office?
Yes, you can add a toilet or even a small bathroom to your garden office, but this will require proper plumbing and drainage, which may increase the overall cost and installation time.

Tom talked a good job, but failed to deliver. Plasterboards he erected had to be taken down and replaced as socket holes far to big. Not enough timber framework between joints. Little to no cleaning after working. Tools still left behind months after finishing. There's more but no space to write it on here.... Still waiting for receipts and house key! Avoid if you don't want to be disappointed!

Hi I’m Paul I set up KAL Building Solutions Ltd after successfully working as site manager working on refurbishments for some of the biggest names including Brewdog, Revolution Bars and Ask Italian to name a few where timescales were tight but always kept to budget and time. Prior to this I worked on the domestic sector ranging from refurbishments to structural works. We have invested a lot in quality tools which makes our job easier and helps to do the job more effectively.
Paul's team were fantastic. Came when promised, worked hard & quick to complete a brilliant job. Great bunch of lads - couldn't fault them. Will be calling upon them again in the future any time I have building works needed. Highly recommend.
