All the timber we use is tanalised, to give a longer life and protect against rot. We also treat it with two coats of clear water proofer. We advise treating your building every few years with the same water proofer.
Yes, all the timber used is from renewable sources, being certified by either the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC).
The standard wall lining for insulated buildings is MDF. For a luxurious finish you can upgrade to a seamless ‘Neatmatch’ tongue and groove lining or pine tongue and groove lining. We also offer traditional pine tongue and groove boarding.
For workshops and garages we offer a superb beech faced hardwood ply lining. Insulation is also available in these buildings.
The timber cladding is pressure treated, slow growing northern European Redwood. This can be left as it is, or you can choose to have your building painted or stained.
For smaller buildings with a timber floor, such as sheds and studios, we construct a base of timber bearers on concrete blocks. This is suitable for most relatively level sites.
Yes, and also where they are positioned! Sheds and workshops have timber doors and windows. Insulated buildings have uPVC double glazed units that come in a variety of styles and colours.
The standard roofing material is plastisol steel coated sheets which come in a range of colours. Apex roof buildings can also have a synthetic slate roof option.
An electrical pack is provided as standard in our insulated buildings and can be incorporated into other buildings, just ask for a quote.
We have a great range of buildings on show; including garages/carports, studios and offices, workshop and sheds, summerhouses and a combination building.
