We would like a garden gym built

Right across Britain, especially just after work, hundreds of thousands of people work very hard in the gym to improve their fitness. They recognise the health benefits of losing weight, staying active, and enjoying the other benefits that exercise can bring them such as feeling stronger.

However, driving to the gym can be a hassle and time-consuming and can also it can mean entering a hot and sweaty gym that’s crammed with people. A piece of equipment you have might have wanted to use, may have multiple people waiting around it to use it.

This is why many people are now ditching gym memberships, and contacting garden room companies like ours, for us to build large air-conditioned, heated, brilliant garden gyms.

Weight room complete with full-length mirrors

Perhaps you like to lift weights?

If you do, the dumbbells you want to use can sometimes be used by somebody else at the gym, and you have to wait to use them. You have to think about all the people who are using their dumbbells daily and how regularly are they cleaned?

This is why many people like to own their dumbbells: so they can keep their equipment nice and clean, and it’s only them that all their friends and family use the gym equipment within their garden gym.

You can have a full-length mirror installe, complete with a weightlifting chair, and you can pop down to your garden gym whenever you want to start lifting weights.

We now build garden gyms right throughout the United Kingdom

Garden Gym Buildings

When you visit the local gym, you might find that you are using the same gym equipment day in and day out.
Therefore, although that building is substantial in size and potentially has hundreds of pieces of gym equipment within it, you might only use, let’s say, seven pieces of gym equipment daily?

Therefore, if you have a large, air-conditioned, well-built garden room built, you are most likely to be able to fit all of this equipment under one roof, and the best part is you will own the equipment.

Your music, your television

at the local gym, they try to play music that suits most people’s tastes. However, the downside to this is that some people won’t like the music, so they have to wear their headphones.

However, we can build a garden building that has surround sound speakers, you might want to have luxurious top-of-the-range speakers installed. You can blast your favourite tunes when working out as loud as you like.

Our builders can also install a giant television screen so that you can play your favourite tracks on the television or listen to the BBC News while running on the treadmill?

Wi-Fi, electrical sockets, and dimmer switches

We have in-house hard-working electricians who can work to install many electrical sockets wherever you like in your garden gym.

We can install LED lighting and spotlights into the roof; they can wire and install all the speakers for you as well if you like?

We can also install dimmer switches as well.

Multifunctional home gym

When you visit the local gymnasium, it is often just a large gym in a warehouse and therefore just used as your space to exercise.

However, if you have a huge garden, you can build a vast garden building that could be used for multiple different purposes and not just for lifting weights.

75% of the room could be used as a gym, which has a lot of top-of-the-range gym equipment installed inside.

25% of the remaining space could be a small room used to complete your work. It might be somewhere that you might like to work for a few days a week. It’s quiet, peaceful, and well-insulated, making it a fantastic workplace space. Therefore our garden buildings built in Wales are often used for many different purposes, such as working out, or working within it on your Apple Mac Book.

We can offer landscaping services, so, we can offer everything from building a new fence, to laying turf, to building a new summerhouse within your garden. We can therefore completely landscape your whole garden, so it becomes a place where you will want to spend more of your time.

Therefore, we can build a low maintenance garden room, that has composite cladding that never needs painting, that has a roof that will last a very long period of time.

Then we can also build composite fencing, which last a long period of time and doesn’t need painting.

Have you built many garden buildings?

Yes, we have, for over five years, we have been building garden buildings. During this time, we have taken on more staff, and we have built many different garden room designs. For example, the buildings that we build are used for multiple different purposes, one week, we could be building a large building, to be used as a home gym, the following week, we could be building a building, that could be used as a Home Office.

Would you like a garden office constructed?

Across the Vale of Glamorgan, in areas such as Cowbridge, Penarth as well as also in Barry, there are many people who work from home. There are many people who also run a business, and therefore need a garden office constructed, so that they can work from home.
We can therefore build, anywhere within the Vale of Glamorgan, and air-conditioned, heated garden office, that can be used throughout different seasons.

For example, in winter, you can switch on the underfloor heating, to keep your feet, while you’re working nice and warm.
In the summer, you can simply switch on the air conditioning unit, which in a matter of minutes can start to cool the temperature of the room.

Why do so many people, within the Vale, hire us to build their garden buildings?

We offer a guarantee on every garden building that we construct, you therefore will obtain a building that’s well-built, and will offer you excellent value for money.

Another reason why we are chosen, is because we can complete building your garden building, to the point where will our customers have to do is move their furniture into the building.

You might therefore want say two separate bedrooms, a main living area, therefore we can build very large garden buildings as well.

Introduction

Some people might be spending 30, 40 50 hours+ sat in their garden office, so its so important that the room is made as comfortable as possible. That you carefully design the whole building, so that its energy efficient, that’s its comfortable, and so its easy to maintain, so you are not wasting time, painting, staining, varnishing when you have other more important work to do.

So, because we have built so many garden office in Wales, hundreds of garden offices, we thought we would have chat with our builders and our garden room designers, and provide some top tips, to help you to design your garden office.

Make it low maintenance

Let’s say you have a lot of work to do, let’s say you are a solicitor and you work from home, so you hire us to build a garden office for you. You may not want to every year be varnishing, be painting be staining the garden office, because it can take up a lot of time, yet at the same time, you don’t want the garden office to start to look run down, and not maintained, you want the building to look as good as new. So, what we would recommend is to make the building low maintenance, and to do this we would recommend using composite everywhere you can, composite decking, composite cladding, composite facia board.

We would recommend composite, because its so easy to maintain, a simple wipe down with a rag is all it needs. It not made entirely from wood, so it never ever needs painting, and it can be made to look like real wood, but the benefit is with composite, it may have the appearance of wood, but it’s made from composite, so it never needs painting.

Air conditioning

If you’re going to be spending let’s, say 30 hours + in your garden office working during the summer, we would recommend having air conditioning added. Because on a really hot summers day, it can get very hot and stuffy in your garden office, and it might not be comfortable to work in the garden room.

It might get too hot, even if the bi-folding doors are folded back, the whole room might still be very hot, and therefore we would recommend a quality air conditioning unit is added, we used to recommend a good quality air conditioning unit, for example Mitsubishi make very good quality air conditioning systems, and our electricians can install the air-conditioning system for you. Alternatively, you could always put a freestanding air conditioning unit inside the garden office, this is the cheaper option.

Solar panels

Energy prices have gone through the roof, so to heat and to have lighting in your garden office, will often mean that the homeowner has higher energy bills. That’s because before the garden office was built, you may be worked from the kitchen table, so it was the only the house that needed heating. Yet because a garden office is detached from the house, it’s another building that will need heating, we can therefore install solar panels onto the roof, which can help you to generate electric.

We can install multiple solar panels onto the roof, this is a great way to generate electric, but also to help the environment.

If you have a large garden, why not have solar panels on the roof of your garden office, but also have a large concrete slab built by us, and then have even more solar panels in your garden, helping you to generate even more electric.

The garden office needs to be well insulated

Here Britain it is cold a lot of the year, and say in November or December when you’re working in your garden office, you still want it to be warm inside. And when you switch on the electric heaters, you will want the room to heat up say in a very short period of time, for this is to happen the garden room company that built the garden room needs to add insulation not just in the walls, but in the roof, and the floor. Then when an electric heater is switched on, if the room is properly insulated, then it should heat very quickly, offering a comfortable room for you to get your work done.

What’s great about a garden room that has a lot of insulation is that, it makes it a lot cheaper to heat the room. If the room is not insulated, heat will simply escape out of the roof and walls, so this means that to heat an uninsulated garden room, means the electric heaters have to be switched on practically all the time, to try and heat the room, however, with an insulated garden office, that has good quality insulation, good quality doors and windows, it much easier to heat the room, so the heating hasn’t got to be on as much.

Think about security

You might have said a Apple computer in your garden room, and other valuable items, so we would recommend getting bi-folding doors and windows with quality locks, but also blinds within the window panes, so you can shut the blinds, and then a burglar cannot see within the garden room so easily. We would recommend quality CCTV is fitted, and our electricians can install CCTV at an extra cost for you.

Think about having decking fitted

If you’re spending a lot of time with excel spreadsheets, sending emails, and having video calls on skype, well your going to need to take a break from work, and have a nice cup of coffee or cup of tea, and you might want decking, with patio table and chairs, we can build decking for you, we would recommend composite rather wood, simply because composite decking lasts much longer, and also composite decking can help you to save time, because wooden decking needs staining or painting, and composite doesn’t, it doesn’t need painting, so you can save time, by not having to paint the decking.

We can build a garden office, with decking built Infront of the building, so you have a place to take a break and enjoy a nice espresso in the sunshine.

Think about which doors you want

You may want bi-folding doors, so in the summer, you can fully open the bi-folding doors, and you can let the fresh air flood into your garden office while you work. If you want a cheaper option, then we can fit a upvc door, we would highly recommend if you opt for bi-folding doors, then to have blinds fitted within the window panes, so that you can adjust the blinds, because otherwise on a summer’s day when it’s very bright, the sun might be so bright, it is shining your eyes too much, and you might not be able to get your work done.

Yet if we install bi-folding doors, and windows that have blinds within the window panes, then you can adjust the blinds, to let as much light into the garden office as you like.

Sound proofing

You might live next to a busy road, and the noise from passing trucks, cars and vans might be distracting as you do work in your garden office. Our builders can add extra thick insulation into the walls, and our builders can also add sound proofing. Therefore, if you live next to a busy road, we would highly recommend adding sound proofing to the walls, it doesn’t cost that much extra, but it can make a huge difference, you often can still hear the road and noise generated outdoors, yet the noise will be a lot less when you have had sound proofing added to the walls.

Do you build garden rooms in The Vale of Glamorgan

Garden rooms are very popular in The Vale of Glamorgan, because in areas like Cowbridge, there is a lot of nice countryside, and many homeowners in Cowbridge have houses that look out over miles of countryside. And often they hire us to build a garden room, because they want a garden room built in Cowbridge Vale of Glamorgan, so that they can take nice bottle of wine, and unwind in their garden room. With prices starting from just 18k our garden rooms offer amazing value.

Do you build garden offices and rooms in Cardiff?

The vast majority of the garden rooms that we build are built in Cardiff. We have built many garden rooms in Cardiff, we have built garden bars, garden rooms and garden offices. We build our garden buildings right throughout the year, with prices starting from just 18k its clear to see why so many homeowners hire us to build their summerhouses. What’s great about choosing Kingsley is that we offer long guarantee, we so confident that the building will be built to a high standard, because we employ highly experienced builders, that on every garden room we build in Wales we offer a long guarantee on every garden building we build.

Can you also install the electrics for us?

Introduction

We think, “how should a U.K summerhouse / garden room be built” is such an important question to ask- and why is that?

Well, here’s three reasons why

Some summerhouses are simply not designed for use in our climate

So, let’s say we are browsing to purchase a new summerhouse, and a website seems to be offering super cheap deals on summerhouses, well, that’s great right? No one want to be paying over the odds to have a summerhouse built.

Well, that’s true, you should pay a fair price, however, here’s the thing, some shoppers are comparing apples with pears when purchasing a summerhouse- and what do we mean by that?

Well, even though summerhouses can all look rather similar when buying a summerhouse online, the quality can vary massively. One summerhouse may only cost, for example 3k, yet one building which looks rather similar, may be offered by another business for 28k- so why such a huge price difference?

Well, it often comes down to the quality of the construction, some flat pack summerhouses may be made from pine, with a low-quality roof, complete with flimsy doors. And this building may last longer in a warm, dry climate- yet here in Britain, after a few winters, or sometimes even the first winter all sorts of problems may start to occur.

The exterior walls, may become water stained, making the summerhouse look damaged, the walls may have little or no wall insulation, so cold air blasts through the walls, the roof may be made from cheap, thin tar felt roofing that peels away from osb board, and water leaks may start to drip inside the summerhouse.

So these buildings may last longer in warmer climates, yet because here in Britain we see so much rain every year, and its cold during our winters, well if the buildings not well built, its simply going to be cold, wet and damp in a short amount of time, so even if the buildings say 3k, it may be a place where you don’t want to spend anytime at all, so you may deem that outlay of money, as wasted money, that you may later wish had gone towards a more solid construction, which has quality rubber roof, good quality exterior cladding, and also insulation that’s really thick.

Here at Kingsley, we build top quality garden rooms, you may have seen one of our many vans driving around Bath, in England United Kingdom, or in the city of Bristol, that’s because every week, we are busy building top quality summerhouses, and even though our buildings are far better quality than what some other businesses build, we still have starting prices from just 18k- so you can best of both worlds, a top quality garden room built, but still have the building built at a very competitive price.

Therefore, we do think that super cheap summerhouses, well, sometimes are cheaply made, and sometimes incur water leaks, if the roof is not high quality.

You need a quality roof

We mentioned this point earlier, but its worth mentioning in some detail, that is, what often dictates how long a summerhouse lasts, is what type of roof the garden room has, and also, how well the roof has been built. On many UK houses, the house may have an extension, and a lot of builders opt to have a “rubber roof” installed on the property extension. This is because rubber roofs, if correctly built, can last a very long period of time, we think that quality rubber roofing is therefore a good option of roof when building a summerhouse.

We don’t therefore use fibreglass roofing, or tar felt roofing, as we prefer to build rubber roofing, as we think, when it’s been correctly built my highly experienced flat roofers, that rubber roofing lasts a long period of time, needs hardly no maintenance at all, other than emptying the guttering of leaves. So, it’s a great option.

So, sure, some summerhouses, they can sometimes be offered at very cheap prices sometimes, however, it very important that you purchase a quality garden room, which has a well roof.

We would recommend having a roof built, which has good quality timbers, good quality rubber roofing, and good quality plastic facias, and also guttering.

It also important to consider drainage, as some garden room companies in United Kingdom, build a garden room, with no guttering, or if there is guttering sometimes, there’s no where for the rain water to go, so important to also have drains built, or to have a large water butt, so that the water can be collected.

Quality wall insulation

When calling various garden room companies for a quote, also ask them if the garden room will be insulated?

Its very important that the room is insulated, as some cheap summerhouses, have no insulation at all. And this means that it is very cold in the room during the winter.

So, what is needed is very high quality exterior cladding, to help the rain to run off the building, then a breathable membrane needs to be fitted to the garden room, then good quality structural timbers, which are thick enough to hold up the roof, and then good quality insulation, which is made using thick foam, which is insulating foam, and then two reflective sides, and this must be cut carefully, and placed the cavity of the building. The insulating panels, needs to be put between the exterior cladding, and then placed behind the plasterboard, before the plasterboard is covered in plaster.

Sometimes some garden room companies don’t use the insulating panels, they use fibreglass, fibreglass is still good in terms of insulating a building, but for the majority of the summerhouses we build, we use panel insulation, the reason being we can cut panel insulation easy, and we can place it in between the structural timbers, and we think that panel insulation is very good at insulating summerhouses.

So how should a garden room be built?

Every garden room company you hire, offer different design garden room, for example, our company offers a range of different windows, so you might want wooden frame, you might want a aluminium frame, you might want a upvc frame? But some companies, they only allow you to pick a size garden room and sometimes, you can’t pick which roof you want, which windows you want, which doors you want, and this can mean that you end up with a garden room built some companies where you end up with a summerhouse, that you feel like you’ve compromised on what you want, because the company doesn’t offer you any options.

And why so many people call us instead to build their garden buildings, because with our company there is no compromises, the customer states exactly what they want, in terms of the cladding, the size of the building, the roof, the windows, the flooring, the colour the walls, if want decking, if they want internal walls, if they want air conditioning, the customers states what they want built, and we can be built for them

Master craftsman

What’s really important when you are calling garden companies for a quote is that they use top quality building materials, but you need master craftsman, you need joiners who build top quality wooden summerhouses. So, all of the wooden cladding is cut with precision, so that the wooden flooring looks brilliant, so that the wooden window frames and the French doors made from say a quality hardwood, are all well-built, and solid, and really good quality.

This is why we employ master craftsman, to build our summerhouses, so everything from the window frames, made of wood, to say cutting the red cedar cladding, or oak cladding or the beech cladding, all will be cut precisely and nailed to the garden room, the flooring will be well built, and all the structural timbers will be built to make the garden room, strong, and we make our garden rooms so that they last a long period of time.

The foundations must be built correctly

As any good builder will tell you, a building is only as strong as the foundations, you could build the best garden room ever made, if the foundations are weak, and don’t properly support the building, then the building might sag, and break, because part of the foundations might break, and the building then moves, and structural timbers may move, causing structural damage. This means that the building should not be used, it might become unsafe.

So, what is needed, is top quality ground screws, yet sometimes, some land, won’t be suitable for ground screws, so sometimes what is needed is a thick concrete base, made with quality concrete, and concrete needs to be top quality.

So, what we offer our customers, is to choose from a concrete base, this is more expensive to build, but it offers very solid foundation that will last very long period of time. We also recommend ground screws, but only ground screws made by some companies, as the ground screws need to be top quality.

We offer top quality ground screws, and top-quality concrete base.

Then the structural timbers

Sometimes some garden room businesses, use really thin timbers, because thin timbers are cheap to buy, however, if you have a good quality roof, then a good quality roof will be heavy, sometimes very heavy, and this roof needs to be properly supported. And what you also need to consider is snow, when snow falls, and it leaves a huge amount of snow on the roof, this means that the roof will get very heavy, plus the weight of the roof its self, so what is needed, is a strong roof, but you only have a strong roof, if it has strong timbers, or steelwork to hold it up, and we use always make our buildings strong, we do this by using good quality timbers. We don’t buy cheap timbers.

Plus, we have carpenters who built summerhouses in Cardiff, they built log cabins in Newport, they built luxury garden rooms in the Vale of Glamorgan, for example we built huge garden rooms in Cowbridge, in the Penarth Vale of Glamorgan, and also in Barry, so our joiners have built many summerhouses, so they know how to make the building strong, robust, and to last a long period of time.

This is why sometimes we are sometimes the most expensive quote, that the customer is offered, but they still pick our company, because they go see the garden rooms we have already built, they see that they are really good quality, made to last, top quality building materials, and see how happy our past customers are the building, the customer service, and also, they have the reassurance with our company that we offer a long guarantee.

And some garden room companies don’t even offer a guarantee on the work, so this is why so many people hire us instead, because we have been building the garden rooms for a very long period of time, and because every single one of our summerhouses is so well made, we can offer a long guarantee on every summerhouse that we build.

Breathable membrane

Inside a garden room, is plasterboard, and often the customer will use water based emulsion paint to paint the walls, and if breathable membrane is not used when building the summerhouse, then the room can build up a lot of condensation, and the condensation can cause damp and also black spores also form on the paint work.

So, it is really important that the garden room company use breathable membrane within the walls, when building the summerhouse, and also if there is bathroom installed, that a qualified electrician, installs an extractor fan within the bathroom, especially if you are going to have a shower fitted in the bathroom as well, because otherwise condensation will build up very quickly, and damage the plasterboard, and cause damp issues within the summerhouse.

Quality exterior cladding should be fitted

Here in U.K we have so much wet weather, during the winter, it can sometimes rain every day, and this why you don’t want to buy summerhouse, made of wood, which absorbs moisture, and this makes a damp summerhouse.

What you want is exterior cladding fitted, whether it is made of steel, composite, softwood, hardwood, and what is important is if it’s made from wood, that is correctly varnished, painted or sealed, to stop the rain water from absorbing into the wood, and causing the summerhouse to become damp.

Because so people buy cheap summerhouses, and the wood is sometimes made of a softwood, like pine, which is fine, but sometimes the wood not painted, its not varnished and sometimes its not sealed, so it rains the wood gets wet, and this water is held in the wood, and it will start to rot the wood, and moisture will seep into the room, causing damp, causing a bad damp smell, and causing the plasterboard to have black spores, and this means that the room is damp, and therefore not good for your health, and also because the wood is wet, it will mean that the wood will start to get wood rot, and possibly wood worm, which means that the building might become unsafe and need demolishing.

Introduction

Perhaps your way to unwind after work is to paint an oil painting, perhaps its to do yoga or perhaps play a musical instrument?

This means you might want a room that’s completely separate from your house, where you can enjoy your hobby, for example practice playing the electric guitars for hours on end, in a room which doesn’t disturb the rest of your family as you practice playing a Red Hot Chilli Peppers track.

And you might be thinking, well, should I have an attic conversion built? Or should I add an extension onto my house?

And when the quotes come back from local builders, well, you might think well that’s rather expensive, so now you might be looking for alternatives. Why not think about having a luxurious, well-built, garden room constructed by Kingsley, with prices starting from just 18k, its clear why many homeowners in the city of Cardiff, want us to build their garden buildings.

Separate from the house

If you’re playing a musical instrument, let’s say the saxophone, you may want a room where you can practice, that’s soundproofed, that’s nice and warm, and that’s exactly what we can build for you.

That’s because our builders and our electricians can install the electrics, the insulation, and the electric heaters. So with the simple flip of a switch, the room can warm up, ready for you to start playing the drums.

With prices starting from as low as £18,000, our garden rooms offer superb value for money.

And what’s great about a garden building, it that its totally detached from your house, so you might want to play your musical instrument for that bit longer, because you know that your not disturbing  the other members as you play say the drums. 

Do you like to paint?

Some people like to paint, or make pottery, or to simply read a good book and you therefore you might want a room that’s dedicated just for this hobby?

What’s great is you don’t have to clear all your artist equipment away, such as the easel and your paints when your finished painting, you can simply leave them all out, ready for when you want to return and start painting once again.

Do you enjoy yoga?

For a lot of people, they like to do yoga, and to meditate before they go to work or after work and you might want a room that has large windows, that look out over your garden, which let a lot of natural light coming into the room, ideal for doing yoga. You might want a nice quiet room, so you can also play nice music, to help you to meditate.

Home brewing

Perhaps your hobby is to brew nice English ales?

You could have a dedicated room built that’s used as your room to produce your homebrew.

The room can be well insulated, you will also require it to be heated, and we can build such a summerhouse for you.

Do you like to play arcade games darts the snooker?

Perhaps you want your garden room to have a full-size snooker table, perhaps some retro arcade games, like Pac man? Perhaps you would like a dartboard put on the wall?

Therefore, the garden room could be a room where it’s a  place for you to unwind, perhaps you like to use it on the weekend, the space to unwind with your family and simply have a few games of snooker.

Football/rugby room

As everybody knows, here in Wales we are great fans of rugby, so why not have a really large garden room constructed by us, so it to becomes your place to enjoy the rugby or lets say the football, or the boxing with your friends and family?

Our highly talented joiners, can build a bar out of any wood that you would like, for example perhaps you would like a long bar, that’s made out of mahogany wood? It could look like a bar, you would find in a real pub.

We can build a wooden bar for you, we could build out of softwood or hardwood, like mahogany for you, and you might wish to place beer pumps on the top of the bar?

This is so you can pull yourself, and your friends draft beer during the game. Just imagine, no queuing at the bar in the pub anymore, as we all know how busy pubs can get during a match day.

Your garden room could therefore become your place to simply enjoy live rugby matches or the football when the Welsh rugby side is playing. We think a garden room, offers a brilliant place to have all your friends over and to watch the game.

Introduction

Thankfully, we can all start to see green shoots pushing through the soil here in Great Britain, and we can start to see lovely daffodils starting to come into bloom.

And this means that for a lot of us, that we are starting to think of ways that can improve our gardens, so that we can enjoy the fine British weather in our gardens.

for example we might be thinking of ways where we could sit out are gardens in comfort, and enjoy the nice weather perhaps with a bottle of chilled wine.

Why not improve your garden and have a gazebo, built by Kingsley?

A lot of people are starting to think about whether they would like a luxurious well-built wooden gazebo built.  Here at Kingsley, because we have so many joiners as part of our team, that is so talented of building our luxury wooden summerhouses, our wooden garden gates, or a wooden gazebo, we are often a company that is contacted in Cardiff when homeowners really want to improve their gardens.

Here’s how we could help to improve your garden

We can build:

• Luxury summerhouses
• Garden offices and rooms
• We build decking
• Gazebos
• We also build brick / block buildings, such as garages
• We build garden walls
• Patios
• Our company can improve your whole garden

We have many joiners / carpenters that work for us

We have spent a great deal of time making sure we hire highly talented joiners and carpenters. Our joiners very work hard to build our bespoke garden rooms and summerhouses.

Our joiners can also build wooden gazebos as well.

We can build your gazebo any size you like

Just like our luxurious garden rooms, that are hand built by our joiners, we can build your gazebo to any size you like. For example, you may have bought an extra large jauzzi, to sit 7 people, so why not get an extra large, gazebo built, made from say English oak, to house your jacuzzi?

What wood would you like the gazebo made from?

Perhaps you would like the gazebo made from English oak, we can build that for you.

Quality wooden buildings ( garden sheds, summerhouses, gazebos)

Whether we are building a luxurious garden shed, a garden room or a gazebo made from English oak, everything we build is well built, constructed to a high standard by our joiners.

We use top quality wood, and our joiners work very hard to make sure the building is well built.

Bespoke

Some summerhouses, gazebos and garden sheds are mass produced on a production lines within a factory. However, the problem with this is, you can’t specify exactly how you would like the wooden building to be built.

Instead when you hire our company, we have many joiners that work for us, so we can listen to the exact design that you would like, and then we can start to build it for you short period of time for you.

Do you know that we also build summerhouses?

A lot of us are looking for ways that we can gain some more room, perhaps you want a room to do yoga within? Or let’s say somewhere to paint an oil painting, or perhaps somewhere to brew your own ale and to enjoy a nice pint of ale on a summers evening.

Therefore, our summerhouses are used for a huge range of different uses, from a place to use as gym, to somewhere to play your electric guitar or even just watch the football.

Our joiners will work hard in your garden Cardiff, assembling every piece of your summerhouse, to make sure that the whole garden room is built to a high standard.

Introduction

For a lot of us, you might have spent a huge amount of time let’s say even decades working in a city centre in a large concrete tower block.

Within that large concrete office block, there might have been little in the way of natural sunlight coming through the windows? Stuck working under artificial light all day, its not ideal, that’s for sure.

The office might have been very stuffy, and in the summer quite hot to work within it, however a lot of people are now switching to hybrid working from home. By working from home, you get to decide where you work, and for some people, it’s a brilliant opportunity to design a luxury garden room, that’s comfortable, that’s spacious, that’s your own room, to work in a building that you want to spend time in.

So, here is what we think are some of the main benefits of owning a garden gym, built by us.

Natural light

We think its far better to work in natural light whenever possible, artificial light, well we think its just not as good. What’s great about having a garden room built, is that you can design it to maximise how much natural light floods into the building, why not have velux windows, why not have a huge window added to the side that captures the most light during the day? Why not have bi-folding doors, with blinds fitted in, so you can adjust how much light floods into the room.

Dual use

So, for a lot of us, our daily routine is to visit the gym, before work, or after, or if your particularly energetic, perhaps twice a day?

However all of that driving to the gym, that takes up time, so why not have a large garden room built, with two rooms, one half could be used as place for you to work, the other as your own home gym?

Meeting room

Perhaps you run a business, where you regularly meet clients, let’s say a beauty business, where you add eye lashes, well, why not have one room for meeting clients, and another as a kitchen, so you can prepare drinks?

Are you about to start your own business?

Perhaps you’re about to embark on starting your own brand-new business? And you need a dedicated space where you can work and meet your clients? Well, why not call us, we can build a garden room for you with prices starting from 18k.

A really nice place to work

We think that a garden room offers an excellent place to work, it can be light and airy, and when we build it we can have a lot of insulation within the walls, and roof, so even in winter it can be nice and warm for you.

This is why we asked built so many garden offices, because simply the whole building is constructed to a very high standard, and it’s designed to be used right throughout the entire year, no matter what the weather is like outside.

Would you like a decked area added? A great place to enjoy a nice cup of earl grey in the mornings

We can even build a nice decked area to the front of your garden room, so when you finish sending all those work emails, you can simply pop out and sit on your decking, and  joy a nice refreshing cup of coffee on your decking? We build composite and timber decking.

Does your garden back onto a busy road?

Perhaps your property backs onto quite a busy road in Cardiff?

If so no worries at all, we can help to dampen out some of that road noise passing your garden, by adding a sound insulation into the roof, and also into the walls for you, this can help to dampen down some of that noise coming from passing cars, so that inside the garden room, it’s a bit more quite, so you can concentrate on those work emails.

Adding sound proofing to your garden office, wont cost that much more, so if you hire us to build a summerhouse, why not have sound proofing added?

Garden offices built the way you like

What’s simply great about hiring our team builders to build your luxurious garden room, is the whole  building can be built exactly the way you want, from the size of the windows, to whether you want air conditioning, even what type of flooring you want.

For example, perhaps you don’t want a rectangular building which is the shape of most garden rooms, perhaps instead you want an L-shaped building constructed, and we can build this for you. Or perhaps let’s say hexagon garden room, or a triangle shaped wooden building? Perhaps you seen on Facebook, or Instagram a garden office that’s been built by another company, yet you like the design? Well we can build the same garden room for you.

How would you like the outside of the garden room to look?

For some people they may own a modern home, let’s say a smooth are rendered property, that is painted white, that has aluminium framed windows, which are grey, this is a good example of a modern construction.

Therefore, you might want a garden room which matches the appearance of your home? Which compliments your home? So for example, lets say you own a modern home, you might want a rubber roof, and on the outside you might even want metal cladding, or perhaps composite cladding to give that modern appearance?

We can therefore build garden offices, that look modern or more traditional.

Would you like a garden room that is a bit more traditional?

Perhaps you live in older property, let’s say Victorian house lets say in Penarth Vale of Glamorgan, and that’s in South Wales. A lot of the homes, in Penarth, in this coastal town, are Victorian large houses, so you might want a much more traditional looking garden room, so why not have hardwood cladding on the outside, let’s say a nice Canadian red cedar cladding, that would look really nice in most gardens.

So if you own an older property, and your looking for a more traditional looking garden room, why not have English Oak cladding?

When you’ve made the decision that you want a garden office built, maybe because you’re starting a new job, and you are starting hybrid working from next month, then you might want a garden room to be constructed in a short period of time? That’s why so many people call us, because with our large team of builders, we build summerhouses quickly.

Thanks to our large team of electricians, labourers, roofers we can build the whole log cabin, summerhouse or garden room in a really short period of time.

Do you live in Cardiff?

If you live in Cardiff, then we can pop out and any evening, during the day, or even on the weekends, and we can offer you a totally free, and also a no obligation quote.

Introduction

Sometimes when you are shopping around to purchase a brand-new summerhouse, some companies offer garden buildings that have already been made.

This means that all of the side panels have already been assembled, including the floor and the roof, and then sometimes then the building is put into a flatpack form, ready to be shipped to the customer.

We don’t like flatpack summerhouses

This sometimes means, that when you purchase a summerhouse from some companies, sometimes you have no choice in terms of which window and door you can choose.

That’s because if you were to opt a summerhouse, sometimes it only comes with windows and doors in a set size, which are made from let’s say soft wood. And therefore, the customer can’t specify whether that they want UPVC, wood or aluminium frames, and they cant say for example what size they want the windows to be.

And this sometimes is no good, because sometimes one part of your summerhouse might look out over woodlands, fields or a nice river, and you are obviously wants a window that you can look out over the views that surround the summerhouse, as you may well be exercising on an exercise bike every evening and you don’t want to face a wooden wall, when you could be looking out over say the countryside that surrounds your home.

However, if the garden building is built in a factory, and the window sizes are already made, the customer may no choice in terms of how large the window and doors are going to be, because the company might only offer one window and one door option.

However, our business is very different, and this is why our summerhouses are so popular, and that’s because we offer you so many different choices.

We offer you many different options, not just in terms of windows and doors options, but in terms of every single aspect of the building, from the flooring right through to the roof.

Because our company offers so many different options, it would take a very long article to write all the summerhouse options we offer, so in this blog post we will concentrate on describing the different door and window options that our business can offer you.

Don’t buy single pane windows and doors

When you look online for cheap summerhouses, some of them can be offered at fantastic prices, lets say £3000 and below, they might look great on the website. So, you click “buy me now” and in a short amount of time the flatpack summerhouse is delivered.

However, in our cold and damp British climate, the wooden frames can start to rot, the single pane glass can let a lot of cold air through, and the whole garden building can be so draughty you don’t want to spend any more than a few minutes within it! So do cheap flat pack summerhouses offer good value for money? Well, we would say, sometimes, most definitely not.

So we would call these buildings a total false economy, because quite simply put they might be very cheap, but sometimes totally unusable on say a cold winters day, and sometimes there nothing more than glorified large garden sheds often most of the time.

Our prices are more expensive, but our garden room company is focused on build luxury summerhouses

Our garden rooms start from £18,000, and the reason why you are likely to have seen one of our many vans driving around Cardiff, is simply because our company is always in  huge demand in Cardiff, building well-made luxurious garden rooms that are well built.

The building materials used to construct our garden buildings are much more expensive, than what some other summerhouse companies use, for example the aluminium bi folding doors we use are very expensive to purchase, but we know that we are providing to the customer quality, quality doors, a quality garden room last a long period of time.

We know that by offering our customers quality that our customers are likely to tell their friends and family about the great quality garden rooms that we built, and that’s how we’ve grown our business here at Kingsley, by having a rock solid reputation for building quality.

Buy quality

We simply build quality log cabins, every time we go to the builders merchants and we make sure that everything we put on our van to deliver to the customer, to build a garden rooms is quality. Quality steels, quality wood, quality flooring.

Then we employ craftsmen, people that can plaster the garden room to perfection, and painters and decorators that will do a really good job, carpenters take great pride in their work.

This means everything from the exterior cladding, to the roof, will be well made.

Windows

Aluminium Framed Windows

We would highly recommend opting for “aluminium framed windows”, they are the more expensive option, when building a summerhouse, but they will never rot, like wooden windows can.

Wooden Windows

Sometimes some customers want the log cabin look for their new summerhouse, they want the that’s to say they want the summerhouse to be mostly made from wood, and therefore they don’t want metal windows, or plastic framed windows, therefore we can offer to make the windows out of a hardwood, or perhaps a softwood? You may want wooden French doors as well?

We can therefore install wooden windows, perhaps made from oak? So, you could have for example, French doors, made from oak, and windows made from oak as well.

UPVC windows

For the majority of most homes now, you have double glazed windows, with UPVC frames, and we can install the same type of windows within your garden room.

UPVC windows and doors this is the cheapest option that we offer, and choosing this type of window and door also comes with a huge number of benefits. For example, UPVC is great it’s retaining heat, the frames are super easy to clean, plus we only use top quality glass as well.

The doors

We can also offer you many different door options to choose from as well, for example you could opt for “aluminium bi folding doors”, or could opt for really high-quality hardwood doors made from say oak.

Let’s have a look at the advantages of picking each.

Aluminium bi folding doors

The vast majority of the garden rooms that we construct, whether the room is used as a home gym or perhaps they used as an office, most customers opt for aluminium bi folding doors, its by far the most popular door option, that’s selected by our customers.

The simple reason for this is, during the summer a lot of customers like the foldback the doors completely and let the fresh air flow into the building.

So, for example let’s say that’s that you going to use the garden room as a gym, you could simply foldback the bi-folding doors, so that when you’re working out, say on the treadmill, you can let the fresh air flow into the room.

UPVC doors

UPVC doors are the cheapest door option that we offer, yet choosing this type of door does come with many advantages such as, because we will instal UPVC doors that have good quality glass, it can help you to retain the heat within the garden room for longer.

Hardwood French doors

We can also offer a quality hardwood doors as well.
