Wooden Garages - FEATURED CASE Studies
As with so many Shields projects, this one began with a visit to our display site, with Mr and Mrs B keen to explore the options for a carport and store.
Initially they were drawn to the classic look of an apex-roofed combination carport and garage, but after a few thoughtful and considerate chats with the neighbours about the height, they decided to go for a lower-profile pent roof instead.
It was a sensible choice — still practical, but a little kinder on the views, and the relationship with the neighbours too!
The structure was to be built on a 20-year-old concrete pad in front of the house, which meant planning permission was required. No stress there: our team handled the whole planning process from start to finish, so the customer didn’t have to get bogged down in forms or planning jargon.
"Excellent service from design to completion. Our carport and attached shed was designed to bespoke specifications to fit an existing hardstanding and sits beautifully on the site.
The whole team showed professionalism and consideration throughout the entire planning and building process.
A quality product and we are truly delighted with the result. We would highly recommend Shields Buildings."
This particular project is the culmination of over two years of planning, preparation and hard work, with all sorts of delays due to property chains and a few unexpected twists along the way. But we got there in the end, and the proof is in the pudding!
Early on in the process, we were able to offer some guidance around permitted development rules, which turned out to be a crucial step, avoiding the Joneses buying a property where they wouldn’t have been able to build the garage they really wanted.
As plans evolved, Mr and Mrs Jones visited our display site several times to fine-tune the design, making sure it was perfect for their new home.
"Can't speak highly enough of this company. It has been a long process due to our house move being delayed, but Shields have been very supportive throughout. Paul and Harry were a great help during the design phase and during the process of applying for planning permission. The construction team (Mike, Neil and Rafal) were great - friendly, helpful and great craftsmen. Similarly, the electrical team. The end product is absolutely superb! If you are considering using Shields - do it! You won't be disappointed."
Garage and Garden Store
Mr F first approached us with detailed planning permission drawings for a substantial pent garage—measuring 11.8 metres in length and 6.7 metres in width—with four bays incorporating a dedicated internal log store area.
To ensure the design met every requirement, Mr F made several visits to our display site, with these meetings proving invaluable, allowing us to:
1 – Discuss the materials
2 – Refine the layout
3 – Ensure every element aligned precisely with the approved plans.
This hands-on approach ensured complete clarity at every stage, so we could deliver a bespoke structure that fulfilled the practical needs of the client and remained fully compliant with their planning permission.
"What a great company and team. From the initial enquiry through to the completed building, everything went as planned and the quality of the completed building is exceptional. The building was a bespoke design with several exceptions and challenges, but Paul and Harry incorporated these into the design from the outset. Weeks later it was turned into reality by the diligent site team of Mike, Aaron, Neil and Raf ensuring everything was completed to a high standard. It has been such a pleasure to have the Team at Shields Buildings undertaking this project."
Mr F's Pent Garage
Mr G visited us on one of our Open Saturdays and was highly impressed by the garages on show – together we spent a long time looking at buildings, and working out the right options for him, as well as additions, like synthetic slate roof tiles and anthracite uPVC windows to help the garages blend in with the modern main building.
"We have just had two double garages installed. The quality of construction is excellent and from my research it shows that the specification is far better than some suppliers. The team that managed our planning, design and installation were easy to deal with, left no mess and always did everything on time. They also helped source a base provider and coordinated the installation with them. I strongly recommend Shields Buildings."
Mr G's double garages
Being a keen motorbiker Steve was looking for a new secure garage for his pride and joy and give him somewhere to store not only his bike clothing and gardening tools but a place to retreat to for a quick workout. Having been to see the display site at Shields Buildings Steve knew that he would get the quality and attention to detail for his timber frame garage that he was looking for.
"I love the idea of someone who does a full survey, draws up the plans, takes it from start to finish and makes it all simple for me – perfect."
Steve Williams - Bespoke Double Garage
In this case in particular, it was evident that the versatility of the bespoke design service that Shields Buildings offer would give this customer the perfect solution with his car parking shelter. A bespoke timber garage with open fronted tractor store was designed, built and installed near St Austell, Cornwall.
"Obviously a lot of thought has been put into the design of the components and this has made for straightforward erection of the building. Your team has been a pleasure to have on the site and every effort has been made to discuss with me the various stages of the erection of the building. Thank you, everyone, for the care you have taken."
Mr Stark - Bespoke Timber Garage and Tractor Store
When Mr and Mrs Miles Ambler moved into their dream house in Devon all they needed to complete the perfect picture was some additional space for their hobbies. Being new to the area their initial search for a timber frame garage was via the internet followed by a visit to the display area at Shields Buildings confirmed their impression of a professional business where attention to detail was key.
"All-in-all, we would have no hesitation in recommending Shields Buildings to anyone that appreciates attention to detail, enjoys being treated as a proper customer and wants an end-product of genuine quality."
Miles - Classic Garage and Workshop
Mr W had admired his neighbour’s timber garden building for quite some time, so when he needed his own traditional timber garage, he knew exactly where to go!
Mr J had downsized from a house with plenty of storage space, to one with rather less.
However, with a decent amount of outside space, there was potential for a single garage, which could be used to store lots of the things the survived the move but didn’t fit in the house.
Mr G wanted somewhere to safely store his classic car, while also providing a space to work on it, so he spoke to us about creating a single-width garage that the car fits snugly in, as well as a workshop area at the end.
