Are you planning on working from home in 2023?

 

Introduction

A lot of people are making the move to working from home, whether that’s to work for a company at home, or perhaps you are starting a brand-new business and need a place to work?

We believe that a garden room can offer a great place to work, within this article we are going to outline some of the benefits of owning a garden room that’s built by us.

 

No more commuting to work

Arguably, since covid the roads got slightly quieter, that’s with less people commuting to work, because even though the restrictions have lifted here in the United Kingdom, more of us continue to work from home.

This frees up our roads, and also helps people to save a lot of time, not to mention petrol! For example, a lot more people are now working from home and within garden offices, and therefore don’t need to daily commute to work, for example in the centre of Cardiff, via car.

Therefore, just think of all the money that you might save, on travel costs through working at home.

 

Natural light

For a lot of people, when they work, they like to work in a room that has natural sunlight, even if it’s the middle of winter, we will still have a period during the day normally where we can have sunlight coming into our homes or garden rooms. We can help you to design a garden room, so that you get as much light as you possibly can, this might mean adding a skylight, large windows and perhaps bi folding doors, which are the entire length of the front of the garden room.

For some people,  they may not like working under artificial light for the entire day, some people might even say that artificial light means meets their eyes feel strained.

So when you have a garden office, that’s built by us, you will have the opportunity to design the building the way you want. So perhaps there’s a part of your garden, that is south facing, where a lot of sunlight comes into that part of the garden during the day, well why not have a really large aluminium framed window placed on that side of the garden room, or perhaps even bi folding doors, and perhaps a skylight as well, so that you can let as much natural light into your garden office as possible.

 

Combined use

You might’ve got into the routine of travelling to work, and as soon as the working day has finished, you might like to drive over to the gym, and start your work out.

However, you might now be working from home, so it might be inconvenient during peak times to travel to the gym, especially if you live in a busy city, where you might be stuck in traffic for a long period of time?

So, why not have your garden office designed so that it can be used for two separate uses, one half could be used for work, and the other half could be used as your own gym.

Then simply when the working day is over, you could close your laptop, and simply open the door to your own gym and start working out.

Owning a garden room could therefore offer a place to work, and also a place to exercise.

 

 

Could you be even more productive?

Arguably, when you’re working from home, that’s within the house or even within an office full of people, there is often a lot of different distractions, which could distract you from getting your work completed. Perhaps it’s simply somebody talking about the weather, asking you for your opinion on the latest football match on the weekend, or somebody that’s just wants to chat about their recent holiday they’ve just come back from.

However, when you’re at work, you might just like to get your work done, get your tasks completed then enjoy the rest of your day you might not like to get distracted.

Therefore, when you own a garden office, because it’s separate from the main house, you may find this you can simply lock the door, and get on with your work, with less distractions.

 

 

Built the way you want

What makes us so different from some other summerhouse companies, is that we can build the garden room the way you want it to be built. Therefore the building is not mass produced in a factory, no, instead you specify exactly which roof, which windows, which doors, which cladding, which flooring, which insulation you want and much more, then our builders will construct the garden room the way you want.

 

 

Choosing a Garden Office Company

Our prices range anywhere between £18,000 and £70,000 depending on the size of the building you would like built, and the options you select, so it’s a very large purchase and you need to make sure that you hire a company that builds your garden room to a very high standard.

Would a house extension be more expensive?

This is when a lot of people who want a garden room built in wales come to us for a quote, as you can create more living space, and sometimes, this might be cheaper than having a builder construct a extension onto your home.

 

Low maintenance

Our garden rooms are often made from high-quality building materials (such as the roof, doors and the timber which we use) these are all designed to withstand the elements, so they require very little maintenance.

We can also offer to build a garden room that has composite cladding, which means that unlike wood, it wont need oil applied.

 

We can add insulation to the roof, walls and floor

 

We can add insulation to our garden rooms, that’s to the walls, ceiling and also the roof.

Also our Cardiff summerhouses can have double-glazing fitted, which helps to improve the energy-efficiency.

 

Selling your house

Often on leading property websites, estate agents like to advertise the fact that the homeowner has had a high quality garden room built, and this will be included in the sale.

That’s because if the garden room is high quality, like what our company builds, this can be a selling point, as someone may wish to buy the house, because they can start using the building as an office straightaway.

 

Weather

 

Lets say you have friends over for a barbeque, but it starts to rain, well you could simply open the garden room and have drinks in there.

Garden rooms provide a great way to enjoy your outdoor space, even when the weather isn’t particularly good.

 

Not just for summer

Our summerhouses can be used all year round, as they can come fitted with insulation, heaters and lighting.

 

Enhance your garden

We can offer so many different garden room options.

For example you can pick from different doors, flooring and cladding options.

So, with so many different summerhouse options available, there’s sure to be a garden room that’s perfect for you.

Are your garden rooms insulated?

If you’re looking for a garden room or office, that’s insulated, then you have come to the right place.

We can offer to add insulation to your garden room, and there are a lot of different options we can offer.

You will want a  warm and comfortable space, that’s to say a garden room you can use all year round, this is why many people hire us to build there summerhouse.

 

Here at Kingsley, we can offer the following options

 

–        Quality insulation

–        Air conditioning

–        Electric heaters

 

So here are just a few of the benefits of choosing an insulated garden room, that’s built by Kingsley

 

Helps to keep the building warm

 

This may sound rather obvious point, but here’s the thing, a lot of summerhouses sometimes have no insulation at all.

That’s to say, that cheap garden room bought online, well, sometimes might not have any insulation, so come winter it might be too cold to use.

Some really cheap summerhouses have the same thickness in the walls as a garden fence, which means keeping them warm in winter is very difficult and expensive, because of the energy needed to heat the room.

The solution is therefore to have a garden room built, which can quality panel insulation in the walls.

That’s to say inbetween the structural timbers, wall insulation should be added.

If a quality insulation is used, then this can help to make the room easier to heat in winter, but also, help you to better regulate the temperature. That’s because the problem with summerhouses with no insulation is, as soon as the heater is switched off, the room can cool back down too  quick.

So whichever Cardiff garden room business you hire, make sure in the quote, they include adding insulation.

 

Cooler in the summer

 

Insulated garden rooms and offices also are easier to cool in the summer, thanks to their insulation.

We can also add an air-conditioning system, so you can quickly cool the room as well.

Its important to know, that good quality insulation is not therefore just useful during the colder months, that’s because in the summer, if the room is not insulated, then it can be too hot, bit like being in a warm wooden shed.

So, this is why insulation needs to be added, so you can use the garden building in the summer and the winter.

 

Simply more energy efficient

 

A well insulated garden room is simply better for the environment, and also your bank balance.

We say that because if you purchase a summerhouse that has no insulation, they heating it can be very difficult.

Also with the cost of energy, it’s a good idea that the garden room is well insulated, we achieve this by either using fibreglass, or by adding panels in the wall.

If we add insulation panels, these are behind the plasterboard, and are in between the structural timbers.

So once the garden room has been painted and decorated, you cant see the wall insulation, but it will be effective in terms of making the room more energy efficient.

Now considering that you may work full time in your garden office, it’s important that it a comfortable room for you to work throughout the year, it must also be energy efficient to help you save money on your energy bills as well. This is exactly what Kingsley can offer.

 

What makes our garden rooms suitable for use all-year-round?

Our garden rooms are made from high-quality building materials that are designed to withstand the elements.  

In addition, all of our garden rooms come with double-glazed windows and doors, which helps to further improve thermal efficiency.

10 things to consider when purchasing a summerhouse

 

1. where will you place your summerhouse in your garden?

 

 

Where do you want your summerhouse to be located?

Where the summerhouse is located might be obvious for some homeowners, yet others need to think about where the sun is most of the day, as well as how flat the garden is, also whether an electrical supply can be brought to the building.

 

 

 

2. Size

 

 

How big do you want your summerhouse to be? Will it be used for entertaining guests, if so, then you might want a large building or is it simply a place to do yoga for example?  Also think about whether you want an l-shaped garden room, as this may sometimes allow you to get more from the room that you have.

 

 

3. Budget

 

 

Our summerhouses can vary significantly in price, so it’s important to set a budget before calling a garden room company.

That’s because sometimes we will work to a set price that the customer had in mind.

So decide how much you are willing to spend and then we can recommend different cladding, roofing and door options to suit your budget.

 

 

4. Material

 

 

Summerhouses are typically have a timber exterior, but they can also be constructed from metal sheets or composite cladding. Consider the look you want to achieve and the level of maintenance required when making your selection.

That’s because hardwoord cladding, such as red cedar wood does require some maintenance.

 

 

5. Insulation

 

 

If you plan to use your summerhouse all year-round, then insulation is a very important consideration for example you might want air-conditioning added to your building.

In winter you may want us to install electric heaters.

 

 

 

6.  bar area

A lot of our wooden summerhouses are often used as a place to simply relax, and to watch the football, so why not also have us build a bar?

 

 

 

 

 

7. sofas

A lot of our customers want to place a large sofa in the summerhouse, so do make sure that you have enough space for your furniture.

 

 

8.

Plug sockets

 

 

If you plan to have say a television within your summerhouse, make sure that there are enough plug sockets for all of your other items.

 

 

 

9. Windows and doors

 

 

Think about how many windows you want, and what type of doors you would like.

We can offer doors made from wood, aluminium or upvc.

 

10. Roofing

 

 

We can offer different types of roofing, for example, the roof can be made from rubber, fibreglass or felt.

 

 

11. Flooring

 

 

The flooring within your summerhouse should be hard wearing.

We would recommend opting for a hard wood floor.

There are a few things to bear in mind when deciding what to use your garden room for and how you want the style of the summerhouse to look.

Firstly, consider the amount of space you have available in your garden, some gardens in Cardiff might be on a slope, so we would need to visit your garden, and advise how we can construct a summerhouse on a gradient or just to offer advice on which shape building might be best suited to your home. We can build triangular, rectangular or a square summerhouses.

For example, we can offer different types of cladding, which can greatly change the appearance of the whole building, we offer composite cladding, which can come in a massive range of colours, even some which are made to look like real wood, we also offer an option that is a grey colour, which makes building look modern.

Yet, a lot of people want us to build a more traditional looking summerhouse, so they opt for hardwood cladding, such as using red cedar wood, which is very popular option, its used on most of the garden rooms that we construct here in Wales.

Therefore our 3-D drawings can give you a real good idea for how the wooden building will look, and of course you might wish to have alterations made to design of summerhouse, before the construction starts.


 

Low cost 3-D drawings

All of our 3-D drawings are offered at a low cost, therefore you can see what the summerhouse will look like, before our joiners start to build the building.

Some companies don’t offer this option, so it might be that for some customers they don’t have 3-D drawings created if they were to choose another company.

So, what’s the 3-D drawings allow is for you to get a visual representation of what the building will look like, before our builders start to construct the summerhouse.

Sometimes our customers then come back to us and say they don’t want bi-folding doors, they want French doors instead, or doors which are built by our joiners.

They may also come back to us and say want differing wooden cladding, or that they don’t want a rectangular shape garden room, instead they wish to have a triangular shape for example.


 

Quick turnarounds

We note that for a lot of our customers, when they have made the decision that they want a garden room made, that they then don’t want to wait a long time for the construction company to build it, they may want it built as quick as possible.

Therefore, to allow our builders to start constructing the garden room as soon as possible, we fully understand that you will want the 3-D drawings created as soon as possible.

Therefore, our designers will work hard to get the 3-D drawings back to you as soon as possible.


Why not get your garden room built by us?

We have already built a large number of garden rooms in Wales, often the first part of the process, is to have our designers design the 3-D drawings.

Therefore, one of our estimators can come out and meet you in your garden, and we can talk you through all of the different options that our garden room company can offer you.

If you do not want 3-D drawings, then we can offer you a free quote.

If you would like 3-D drawings created by our garden room designers, then we can offer these at a low price.

To arrange a convenient time for us to come and offer you a quote, why not give us a call?

 

 

 

Seven ways you could enjoy your garden even more with one of our luxury garden rooms

Introduction

It’s fair to say that here in Great Britain, a lot of us don’t tend to use our gardens all that much during the autumn and winter months.

Our gardens may therefore just collect a lot of leaves, and not get much use throughout the colder seasons.

However, with that said, often when we talk to our customers here in Wales, to make sure that they are happy with a garden room, they often tell us that they are now using their garden so much more.

Therefore we thought we would write an article, stating the main seven purposes our customers use their garden buildings for.

You may therefore get some food for thought, and also want our team of joiners to start building you a luxury summerhouse as well.

 

Number one

A place to work

 

By a country mile, the main reason that we get asked to build a garden building, is so that the homeowner has a place to work.

The customer might be a self-employed architect, through to an artist, and they need a room built so that they have a place to work from.

Our customers tell us that at the end of their garden in Cardiff, might have been an old garage or wooden shed, we have then demolished this for the customer.

Then in it’s place, we have built a wooden garden building, which is used as a place to work in, and our customers often tell us, that they are now getting a lot more use out of their garden right throughout the year. We can also offer air-conditioning, and electric heaters, so the room can be used in winter and summer.

 

Number two

 

A home bar

We have found that a lot of our customers want a place where they can enjoy a cold glass of beer or a glass of wine after work. Often the garden room is sometimes used as a place to watch the rugby the football as well.

 

Number three

As a home gym

A very popular reason for having one of our garden rooms built, is because the homeowner wants to improve their fitness, and therefore wants to therefore have a home gym built.

Our customers often tell us, they haven’t got the time to travel to a gym after work, yet having one at the end of their garden now means that is much more convenient for them to use the home gym when they would like.

 

Reason four

As a yoga room

 

We find that a lot of our customers in Wales enjoy meditation and yoga, therefore another popular reason for why they ask us to build a garden building, is to use it as a dedicated space for exercising.

 

Reason five

Just as a place to read a book

A lot of our customers tell us, that they want a space where they can simply go and relax while reading a book.

Our customers often tell us, that they like the fact that they can hear the birds in their garden, yet overall the garden room, is a quiet place to go and read.

 

Reason six

A room for your hobby

Whether your hobby is to build Lego, to collect mountain bikes, or simply to paint an oil painting, another common reason why we asked to build a Cardiff garden room, is simply because the homeowner wants a place where they can go and relax.

 

Reason seven

As a guest bedroom

Often our customers tell us, that they want family and friends to stay over, yet there might not be much space within their house.

 

Yet, the property might have a large enough garden, so that our team of joiners, can start to build you a summerhouse, or a large garden building, so that can be used as a place for guests to stay over.

 

Quality Cardiff summerhouses

Whether you therefore want a summerhouse built as a place to enjoy a glass of wine during the summer, or you wish to use the garden room as a place to work every single day during the week, we can build you a high-quality garden room for you in Wales.

 

We build summerhouses in:

-Cardiff

-Newport

– The Vale of Glamorgan, Penarth, Cowbridge and Barry

 

We have already built many luxury summerhouses right throughout the city of Cardiff, and also across South Wales.

 

We offer free and totally no obligation quotes- so why not call our company today?

 

 

 

 

How much do your wooden summerhouses cost?

Introduction

We build summerhouses right across South Wales, yet because every single summerhouse we build is bespoke, this means that the cost of our summerhouses can vary quite a bit.

This article is therefore going to discuss, some of the options which can increase the cost, also it will explain why so many homeowners in Wales hire us to construct their summerhouse, because here at Kingsley, we have a very strong reputation for building very high quality garden buildings, which are constructed by experienced joiners in Wales.

 

The base

 

If ground screws can be used, then this can sometimes lower the cost of our summerhouses.

That’s because ground screws are cheaper and quicker than laying a concrete slab, plus also when laying a concrete slab, the concrete will sometimes need to be brought in via wheel-barrows, and sometimes a lot of staff need to do this, as the concrete truck needs to offload quickly.

So, laying a concrete slab at the end of the garden, is normally the more expensive option, rather than opting for ground screws.

 

Landscaping

 

If the ground is level, ready for construction, then not much landscaping work is needed, which means the quote will be lower.

However, sometimes the end of a garden will need to be levelled, or  have soil removed, via a mini-digger, and dumper, which will increase the cost, as more plant and labour will be needed.

 

The size of the summerhouse

As you would expect, the size of the summerhouse will effect the price. Yet, here at Kingsley, because every summerhouse we build in Wales will be bespoke, we can make your summerhouse any size you like, so this is quite different to some summerhouse companies, where you might have say five different sizes to pick from.

 

Extras

We offer so many optional extras to choose from, for example, some customers add a toilet, shower and wash-hand basin, some add air conditioning, others want underfloor heating, when we build your summerhouse, there’s so many different options to choose from.

 

Cladding

We can offer low-cost external cladding options, such as choosing metal sheet cladding, yet there’s much more expensive options, such as a range of hardwood options, such as oak, red cedar and beech.

Hardwoods, such as red cedar, is a very expensive type of wood to purchase, so this will increase the cost of the built. Yet, if you want a more cheaper option, we can offer pine, or metal sheeting.

 

The bi-folds

A large cost when building any summerhouse, will be the aluminium bi-folding doors, so, if the summerhouse is very large, and you want aluminium bi-folding doors to fit the entire front of your garden room, then this can mean that the doors are rather expensive, and can increase the cost of the build by sometimes quite a lot.

 

Air conditioned

A lot our customers want to use the summerhouse as a home office, therefore they need to be able to cool the summerhouse, when its rather warm outside, therefore, often our customers want a top-brand of air conditioning installed, this will increase the cost of the summerhouse.

 

Roof

We only build high-quality roofs, the vast majority of the roofs that we build, are rubber roofs, which are built by highly experienced roofers.

When your shopping around for quotes, it’s definitely worth asking the summerhouse company which roof they have included in the quote. You want a high-quality roof, thats installed to a high-standard, like a rubber roof, as some summerhouses can have substandard roofs,  which means as soon as heavy rain comes, the water can sometimes rot the timber boards that support the roof, meaning the summerhouse becomes damaged.

This is why we only employ highly experienced roofers, which build our rubber roofs, plus we make sure that when we build the roof, we use good quality timber.

 

Canopy

A lot of our customers ask us to build a side canopy to one of the sides of the garden room, often this is used to provide a roof for a hot-tub to be placed beneath. Our electricians can also add LED lighting to the canopy.

Sometimes the canopy is also used as a place to add a coffee table and chairs, it therefore can provide some shelter, if you want to dine outdoors.

 

Decking

A lot of our customers ask us to build composite decking, sometimes the decking will have steps which lead up to the summerhouse. The decking can make a great outdoor area to sit and have a coffee, we can build decking out the front of your new summerhouse, or completely all the way around

 

Free quotes on summerhouses in Wales

So, if you want a garden office built, so you have a place to work during the week, or a summerhouse constructed, so that you can watch the football, with a beer on the weekends, why not call us?

Planning on working from home more often? Do you need a garden office built?

 

Introduction

Its fair to say that there’s been massive disruption to people lives and businesses during covid, one of the biggest changes is where people now work.

Some businesses prior to covid may have had all of their staff at a large national office, yet now, have instructed staff to work from home more often.

For a lot of people therefore being stuck in traffic jams, and having to be at an office for 9 am weekdays, well, is now a thing of the past, as they’re now working from home much more often.

Yet, working from home has sometimes brought its own problems, for example, working from the kitchen table, or on the sofa, well, it’s less than ideal.

What’s often needed is a space that can be used for work, that’s quiet, and ideally can be closed at the end of working day. A lot of people therefore that have made the switch to working from home, have hired us to build a “garden office”.

In this article, we will explain why we have been hired by so many homeowners, that’s in the town of Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, and in Cardiff, as their chose garden room company, to build a high-quality garden office for them.

 

Well insulated

We think one of your top considerations when hiring a company to build a garden office is, which insulation are they going use?

We say that because quite often the owner will be working in the building during the summer and the winter. Garden rooms, unless they are well-built and correctly insulated, can be extremely cold, so therefore, whichever company you hire, we would recommend that time is spent discussing the insulation they are going to use, plus, the options they offer to allow you to also heat the room.

 

The base

Its really critical that you get a high-quality base built prior to the summerhouse being constructed, sometimes a summerhouse is built on a base that’s not suitable, the summerhouse can therefore sometimes move, becoming damaged, or just sometimes the ingress of water from the ground means the wooden base become rotten.

The base therefore needs to be correctly built, using concrete, and other building materials, or sometimes using “ground screws”- what should happen is, the company should come out and look at your garden, and recommend the best method, considering drainage, and also making sure the base is built to a high-standard.

 

The roof

This is another area which the homeowner must think about, that is, sometimes summerhouses are offered for really cheap prices, yet, if the build is not quality, well, it might be a poor-quality construction, which in time suffers from ingress of water and is unusable.

The roof if key to a high-quality build, we often use “rubber roofs”- yet these do need to be laid by an experienced roofer, as if not, its possible the wood underneath will rot.

We therefore mainly use rubber roofs, experienced roofers, and to support the roof our carpenters use quality wood.

How we make purchasing a garden room super simple

Introduction

So, you’ve decided that now’s to time to create some extra living space, you may have already have extended your property?

So, possibly you’ve already had the loft converted, or had a single storey rear extension add to the back of your home, its just now, you want to extend further, as you need more space, so why not make the most of your garden?

Here at Kingsley, we are contacted right throughout the week from homeowners here in Wales, that have plans to create everything from a large home gym, to a cinema room, or to build a space, where the owner can work from during the day. A garden room, built by our highly experienced team offers the perfect solution, for those homeowners that need more space, and want to get more use out of their garden.

Here’s how we make the process of purchasing a garden room from us super simple


Finance available across our range of garden rooms

 

A lot of our customers opt for garden room finance, and we even have finance providers that we can recommend.

So, all you have to do, is pick the design you like, which options such as external wood you would like, which options, such as heaters, air-conditioning, which colour windows and doors, then once you’ve decided on the design that you like, we can put you in contact with a finance company that we work with.


Project managed

We understand that for the vast majority of our customers, they will be busy at work, when we are working on their garden room construction during the day. Therefore, what’s needed is a set of eyes, to ensure that the build is completed to a high-standard, that we are as clean and tidy as we can be when working in your garden and also, that we aim on every build, to minimise disruption for our customers.

Therefore, we assign a project manager to every job, to make sure whether it’s a roof we are laying, electrics being installed, or simply when we are adding the wooden cladding, that we do so to the very highest of standards. Our projects managers therefore work hard, to ensure that every aspect of your Cardiff garden room will be built to our high company standards.

We will also aim to keep your garden as clean and tidy as we possibly can during construction, this is why here at Kingsley, we have such a strong reputation for building quality, but also offering top levels of customer service as well.


Don’t know which design to opt for?

Let’s face it, no one purchases a garden room on a regular basis, so, a lot of customers wont know which design they want, or which options they might need in the future.

Our garden room designers, can recommend design options in order to help you to narrow down the design of summerhouse that you would like built. We can even create a set of 3D CAD drawings, so you can gain idea of what your Cardiff summerhouse will look like, before we even start to construct it.


Large workforce

Some garden room companies only have one or two installers, this can sometimes mean it takes a long time to build the garden room, but also, sometimes, during the busiest period, that’s during the summer months, it might mean your left waiting months before the garden room company can start the build.

Our company is different from some companies in that we do have a large workforce, we  therefore employ many builders, roofers and electricians. Plus, we also have painters and decorators, as well as plasterers and also groundworkers. This means, that we have separate tradesmen for each task.


Quality

We make purchasing a garden room in Wales super simple, that’s by having a large workforce, offering finance and also having summerhouse designers that can help you to choose which options you need.

Yet, even though we make the process super simple, and we can build our summerhouses quickly, this never comes at the cost of cutting corners on quality. Every garden room we build is built with quality in mind, that’s from the very beginning when we put the ground screws in or lay the concrete base, right through to when we add the UPVC facia boards at the end, every single part of the build is focused on quality.


We cover a truly vast area

Here at Kingsley, we build our garden buildings now all across Wales, so whether you live in the town of Cowbridge, that’s in the Vale of Glamorgan, or you live in Tenby Wales, we can offer you a very competitive quote.

Because we have a large workforce of tradesmen, this allows us to build our garden rooms in Wales quickly, we therefore are regularly asked to build our timber garden buildings in areas such as Newport, Cardiff and also in Swansea as well.

We therefore travel all over Wales building our luxury and bespoke garden rooms.

If you would like a free, and also totally no obligation quote, then why not call our team today?

  

Garden Rooms Penarth, The Vale of Glamorgan

Here at Kingsley Garden Rooms we specialise in building luxurious garden rooms all over Wales.

In recent years, we have been building more of our garden buildings in the great Victorian town of Penarth.

 

Most of the garden rooms we have already built in Penarth have come from recommendations, that’s because we simply build garden buildings to a very high standard. Our highly skilled joiners, electricians and roofers all work hard on every build, to ensure that when we build a wooden garden room that its built to a very high standard.

Therefore from Victorian houses that over look the Bristol Channel, through to new-build houses in Penarth, we have built many summerhouses In The Vale of Glamorgan already.

Here’s some of the popular uses for our garden rooms:

–        As a home gym

–        As a cinema room

–        As a place of work


Bespoke garden rooms

What makes us different from some other summerhouse companies is the fact that all of our buildings are bespoke.

This simply means that we have joiners that build our summerhouses to the design that you want built, rather than the buildings being constructed in a factory, and then the customer might be asked to choose from a selection of options, rather than the garden room being tailor made.

Always tailor made

Having a garden room in Penarth, that’s tailor made means that you can pick from so many options when you hire us, for example, some customers opt to have large composite decking outside. This means when the good weather does come, you will have an additional place to sit outside your summerhouse and enjoy the sunshine.

Some customers opt for air-conditioning, some have heaters, and we can also build different rooms for you.

For example, a popular design is to have say 75% of the space dedicated to being say an office space, yet then the remaining amount, to have a side room, for storage, so for example to have a room where mountain bikes can be stored.

Another popular design is to opt for high-quality aluminium bi-folding doors fitted to the garden room.

The reason so many people opt to have bi-folding doors on their summerhouse in Penarth is because there’s some great views in The Vale of Glamorgan, for example the home might look out over countryside, over the Bristol Channel, or for example over Cardiff Bay, as far as the eye can see, so often our customers want their garden room set in a position in their room has a good view.

On a number of the garden buildings that we have constructed, we have raised the room, and built composite or wooden steps up to the building. This is so that the homeowner has their garden room in a raised position, which sometimes positions the room, so that the owner has a better view, we would need to meet you in your garden, to see if this is suitable for your build in Penarth.


We don’t have rear lane access, just side-gate access

A lot of homes in Penarth sometimes don’t have rear lane access, often we can transport the building materials, such as the wood, the windows and the other items such as roofing materials and plasterboard via the side of the house.

When our estimator meets with you, we can see if we have enough access for us to carry the building items at the side of the house.

If a concrete base is required for your new summerhouse, then we would also need to consider whether we have enough road access to allow a concrete pour, or whether another option might be better, such as using what a ground screw.


How long will it take you to build a wooden summerhouse?

This will depend on the size of the building that’s being built, as well as access, for example, if we can drive near the building, in order to offload building materials then this can help to speed up how long it takes us to construct the building.


How do you ensure that you keep quality high?

Here at Kingsley, we employ many joiners which are highly experienced, this means that when we build a luxury wooden summerhouse, in Penarth, The Vale of Glamorgan, we are able to build the structure to a very high standard.

All of the woodwork, such as building the structural timbers, adding the composite cladding or hardwood cladding, of softwood cladding, will be completed to a high standard.

Because we have carpenters building our garden rooms in Wales, this means, that the floor joists, and other items will also be constructed to a high standard. We also only ever purchase quality building materials, so you can be totally rest assured, that everything from the structural timber, through to the flooring, and the cladding, will be high-quality.


Do you just build Penarth garden rooms?

We build garden rooms all across Wales, mostly our company works in areas such as Cardiff and Penarth, yet we do travel to build our summerhouses far and wide across the UK. We have a very strong reputation for building quality, which means that we build timber buildings for businesses and homeowners.

Which cladding options do you offer?

Introduction

 

We have already built many garden rooms here in Wales, we are a business that’s focused on building very high-quality wooden summerhouses.

When we build your new summerhouse in Wales, you can pick from so many different options, from having sky-lights installed in the roof, through to different exterior LED lightening options.

Which cladding you choose will greatly change the appearance of your garden room, so for example, if you wanted a summerhouse which is contemporary looking, then you might opt for exterior cladding, which is made using composite cladding boards, and is grey or a light blue in colour?

Yet, sometimes, a customer won’t want a modern garden room, they will want a building clad with a natural wood, that’s a hardwood. We can offer you many different types of wood cladding, as this article will explain, there are a huge range of different options to choose from.

One of the most expensive parts, in terms of building a Cardiff garden room, is the cladding.

There are cheaper options, for example, sometimes the back of the garden room is rarely seen by the owners, that’s because the whole building is positioned so close to the garden fence, in this case, you might want to opt for metal sheet cladding at the back.

We are now going to explain some of your options, we will also talk-about some of the more popular options, and this will give you a much better understanding of the exterior cladding options we offer, if we were to build your new summerhouse here in the city of Cardiff.


Red Cedar (Hardwood Exterior Cladding)

By a country mile, the most popular exterior cladding that our customers choose is “red cedar” cladding. It’s a very popular option, sometimes, if you have a larger budget, we can clad the whole building using this.

Often however, to keep costs lower, the customer will tell us, to clad the front elevation using red cedar wood. Then at the sides, and the back, sometimes green colour metal sheet cladding is used, as this can help to reduce costs.


Pine wood

Pine is a softwood, its therefore often cheaper than many hardwoods, therefore if you’re looking for an inexpensive option, then you may want to opt for a pine wood cladding.


Composite Cladding

A lot of our customers are now increasingly opting for “composite cladding”- this type of cladding, for your summerhouse comes in a large range of different colour options.

The most popular colours are a light blue shade, or grey cladding, once added, this gives a very modern look to the garden room. We can also add outdoor LED lighting to the decking, and to the canopy, so at night, the whole building can be illuminated.


Many hardwood options

 

We can offer you a large range of natural wood cladding, for example, there’s a large range of timber cladding, such as oak or beech cladding, as well as softwoods, such as pine.

Sometimes, because hardwoods are expensive, the customer will just have the front clad with timber the rest will be metal sheeting.


 

Composite decking and cladding

We are often asked to extend the front of our garden rooms, by constructing decking, using composite decking. This decking can come in different colours, and the customer will often want the decking to match the cladding, therefore we can offer you different colours, and install the decking and the cladding so that they match.

 

We want a large garden room built, yet, what’s the most affordable cladding option that you offer?

Some of the timber summerhouses that we build are very large rooms, for example, we are often being asked on a regular basis to build rooms to be used as a home gym.

Sometimes, the homeowner will want to add a lot of gym equipment inside the garden room, and also have space for other items in their gym, such as room for many dumbbells.

This means that the room often needs to be very large, sometimes in the shape of an L, therefore if the room so to be clad with a hardwood, such as red cedar wood, well, this might sometimes substantially increase the cost of the construction, simply because this type of timber is very expensive.

Therefore, when we meet with you, we can talk about less expensive options, such as, where possible using metal cladding, or cheaper wood options.

We can therefore suggest different design options for you.


How much do garden rooms cost in Wales?

 

Some companies that build garden rooms in Wales do sometimes offer fixed costs, for example, they may offer a brochure, which shows the summerhouse, and the different sizes, then next to each size is the cost.

However, here at Kingsley, we instead offer quotes after we have listened to what the customer wants, and we have visited the garden. For example, building a garden room on a slope, is going to involve more construction work, than if the building is to be built on a concrete slab that might already exist due to a garage being demolished.

Therefore we will need to meet with you in your garden, to see the ground, and if its suitable to build on, or whether some landscaping work, such as removing old bushes, or levelling the ground is needed, prior to us constructing the building.

Then, because we offer so many different options, such as different cladding, different air-conditioning systems, different doors, different roofing, different decking, and also different internal flooring options, we will need to know which options you want, so that we can calculate an estimate for you.


Thinking of having a garden room built in Wales?

Here in Wales we do have beautiful scenery, whether its countryside as far as the eye can see, sea views, or you may look out onto woodland, often a homeowner here in Wales, will want a garden room built, to work in, or as a place to relax. We have built many summerhouses in Wales, and offer very competitive prices.


What if I am unsure as to which composite or timber cladding to opt for?

Our estimators can meet with you, and we can show you some of the many garden rooms and summerhouses that we have already constructed here in Wales.

You may then see a summerhouse that we have already built in Wales that you like the design of , we will be able to tell you which cladding that is, and then we can offer you a quote.

If your thinking of having a wooden summerhouse built in Wales, then why not call us?

 

 

Does your company build garden gyms?

Has your business built many garden gyms in Wales?

Here at Kingsley, we are seeing an increasing number of enquiries from customers, that want us to build a “garden gym”. Sometimes the homeowner will want just a space to put a few pieces of gym equipment such as treadmill, yet some buildings that we have constructed are very large, have a hot tub to the side and are sometimes are air conditioned.

A lot of our customers tell us that they no longer want to share gym equipment with other gym members, that’s to say they don’t want to go to a gym and use treadmills and the weightlifting equipment, such as dumbbells that have been used by somebody else that day.

Ever since Covid, we are therefore seeing a large increase in demand for our company to build garden gyms. Our team can work with you, to design a home gym, and we can then build the garden room anywhere in Wales.


A place to relax  

After a busy day at work, you might want a place where you can work out on your treadmill? Perhaps you would like to simply sit and relax in your hot tub? We are therefore building luxury summerhouses, which can a canopy to the side, then a hot-tub is placed underneath.

Some customers even have specialist outdoor speaker systems, so they can sit and relax in the hot tub out the garden and listen to their favourite music.

Many of our customers have therefore cancelled their gym memberships since Covid, and decided to build their own gym at home, which has the equipment that they want to use. You can therefore have the gym equipment you want, from free-weights, through to rowing machines.


There are many benefits to having your own gym equipment

Gyms can often be very large spaces full of the huge amount of different gym equipment, however sometimes some members of gyms only tend to use the same equipment on a regular basis.

For example, somebody might’s be used to finishing work, and then go running on the treadmill for a while followed by an hour say in a Jacuzzi. This might be some people’s routine, so when they do visit their gym, they might only use a few pieces of equipment, which means that they may have the space in their own garden to build their own gym.


You can work out in your garden room day or night  

What can often be off-putting from going to a gym, is having to sometimes commute through traffic to get there, this can sometimes be time consuming.

So arguably on a cold winter’s night, sometimes it’s simply easier just to put off that work out and to instead do something else. This is when you here some people say, “I have a gym membership, but I haven’t been in months”- so, the important question is, would you be more inclined to do more regular workouts, if the gym equipment was at home?

And if it’s a long drive to your current gym, think of the time you might save, not to mention the diesel or petrol you might use on your drive there?


You don’t have to share gym equipment no more

Since Covid, a lot of our customers have said that they simply don’t want to spend prolonged periods of time at their gym, and they don’t want to use shared equipment such as free weights. This has meant that they now want a garden room company, like Kingsley to build a home gym for them.


Fresh air

Some gyms can be enclosed spaces which may not have many windows, and sometimes have air conditioning or air that flows through a ventilation system. Yet, sometimes the person paying the membership can’t open the windows to allow fresh air to flow in as they would like.

However, by owning your own garden gym, you can regulate the temperature and the fresh air as much as you like. For example, you might want bi-folds, which can be opened fully say during the summer, you may want electric heaters to raise the temperate in the winter, you may also want large windows, to allow a breeze to flow in as you work out.


Music

Often in a gym where there is a lot of people, may gym members will use their own music equipment and headphones.

However, when you own your own garden gym, you can do away with wearing headphones and have your own speaker system playing your favourite music.

A lot of our customers therefore like the fact that they can turn up the volume on their television and watch it while working out, or simply play their favourite music throughout the building rather than having to listen to it via headphones.

 


Air-conditioned

Another factor which means that a lot of people are purchasing our garden gyms is because we can offer to also install air-conditioning.

 


You can combine a room for gym equipment and space to do yoga

We find that yoga is very popular among our customers, therefore sometimes a gym area needs to be built and then a partition, this is so that a separate space can be used for yoga.

 


How our garden room business in Wales can help:

 


Do you need a garden room built in Wales?  

Whether you want to use the space as a gym, or as a yoga room or perhaps even as a place to work then we can help.

Our designers can work with you, so that we build your perfect garden room for you.

 

 

Will we be able to use our garden room during the winter?

 

We fully appreciate the fact that when most garden offices, as well as summerhouses are photographed, they are often pictured on a very bright summer’s day when the sun is beaming down and everything appears warm. This means, that this sometimes gives the impression that these buildings can only be used during the summer.

However, one of the most common uses for the buildings that we construct, is to use the space as a place of work, therefore we mostly build in Wales “garden offices” in homes right across South Wales.

This means one week we could be working on a garden building is the fantastic area of The Mumbles in Swansea, then the following week we could be in the heart of Cyncoed, Cardiff building a very large garden office.

We therefore know that people who purchase a Kingsley Garden Building, don’t just want to use it when the sun is out and the weather is nice, they want to working in their buildings right throughout the entire year. They therefore want a garden room that’s well insulated, built by experts, and has real high-quality aluminium windows and doors, correctly fitted, so the structure is better insulated.

For this to occur, the building needs to be well constructed, by highly skilled and talented carpenters, also quality installation needs to be used in the walls, and this needs to be accompanied by properly installed windows and doors, that’s exactly what we deliver.

 

We make sure that we supply and install quality windows and doors on every summerhouse / luxury garden room

The quality of the doors and also the aluminium windows can sometimes vary massively, some can be so cheaply and poorly built.

Therefore, what is needed is very high-quality bi-fold that is aluminium by windows and doors, that are very well made- that’s exactly what we can supply.

Will we still be able to work and use our garden office / room during the winter months?

 

Most certainly, when our estimator comes out to meet you in your garden, we can discuss with you all the various insulation options that we offer, there are many different options to pick from in terms of wall and ceiling insulation.

Each will have a different insulation property, however if you are planning on using the room throughout the entire year, you will need a high level of insulation, in the roofing and in the walls, to help you better regulate the temperature.  

We can therefore offer you many different insulation options

 

How well insulated are the walls?

We can offer you different options in terms of wall insulation, this is so you can better regulate the temperature within the building.

 

How do you ensure that you use quality windows and doors?

Some garden room companies focus overly on profit; therefore, they purchase their bi-folds sometimes and the cheapest supplier they can.

We take a totally different approach, we are constantly busy building our garden buildings and summerhouses right throughout Wales, that’s because we focus on quality and therefore have a very strong reputation for building well-made buildings, that are built using quality windows and doors, as well as roof lights if required.

 

Are you able to install a heater(s) for us?

Yes, you most certainly can, we can install a wall mounted heater for you.

We hear that it’s possible to have a heater that’s remote-controlled, are you able to offer this?

Sometimes an owner of a new wooden summerhouse will work from home, and they need the temperature to be warm enough inside the summerhouse to work in the building throughout the day.

You might wish to opt for a heater which can be controlled from your smartphone, you simply switch on their smartphone, and start to regulate the temperature in your garden office or room, so when they walk into the summerhouse, it’s nice and warm so you can instantly begin your work.

Therefore, you might wish to opt for an optional heater, which can be controlled from your smartphone.

 

 

 

What would your company describe as the main benefits of owning a garden building?

Introduction

Often a homeowner will want a garden room built, but first they are evaluating how much use they will get out of the room. For example, it may cross the homeowners mind, well, will I just use the space a lot to start off with, but then the room become less used, or redundant?

However, from our experience, when a homeowner here in Cardiff has a garden building built by us, they have a room built for an exact purpose, like a home gym, a place to work from, or to act as a home bar, so what occurs is the place is often used by homeowners as regularly as clock-work, with the homeowner then thinking, that this is well used space.

Therefore, to help you visualise what you might use your garden room for, we have written this article, with help from the company’s management, just to state some of the common reasons for why we build our garden rooms, and also to provide some design ideas, for example, perhaps you want to workout more from home, but don’t have the space, but the main reason you need a garden building constructed is you really need more space to work, why compromise? Why have either or?

Why not have the best of both worlds, and have our designers over, to design a large garden room, complete with two rooms, one to be used as a home gym the other as a place to work from?  

First things first, we would say, properly evaluate the business to ensure you will be receiving a quality product

There are quite literally thousands of companies that now build garden rooms, some focus on being the cheapest, some only build their structures using the finest building materials.

What we believe offers the best value, is a company like Kingsley which uses good quality building materials, we always use experienced staff, plus we build high quality garden rooms for everyone of our customers. What our best advice to people thinking of purchasing a garden room is this, purchase quality.

This means make sure to ask the company can you visit a structure they have already built, normally if the company, say a business in Cardiff has a lot of satisfied customers, normally the previous customers would be more than happy to show the building, as it shows the quality of the workmanship and also shows that the business has satisfied customers. Here at Kingsley, we have many happy customers, they are based all over Cardiff too, from Cyncoed, through to Roath and Llanishen.

The views

Sometimes for some homeowners, the best views out over say countryside, the sea or even over an urban landscape can be seen best from the end of a garden, so why let all of those views go to waste?

Why not hire us to build a garden building, where we install large windows, so when you want to sit and relax, why not do so in your new garden building, which can be positioned in your garden, where you want, so you can enjoy the views that your home has to offer.

A quieter space to work

Whether you’re a freelance web developer, a employee of a company or someone who’s just starting out in business, what’s often needed is a quiet space, somewhere to answer work calls, and e-mails, a space that’s perfect for work, and this is what a Kingsley Garden Office can offer, we can build an insulated, large garden room, which can even come complete with air-conditioning, this means it’s the ideal space if you want to complete work.

More space without having to move out

A lot of people will not want to go through the hassle of moving house, yet, they may have already extended their home, so now they are looking at other options, which allows the family to create more space. One solution could be to invest in a garden room, as often there’s space in some gardens which are not used all that often.

For example, in Wales, a lot of homes have large gardens, so why not let us clear the old garage away, shed or even greenhouse, then we can then build a garden office or a garden room in its place. We have a large team, which means that often it doesn’t take us long to build your new garden room.

A place to unwind and relax without having to go out

A lot of residents in Cardiff want us to build a garden building so that it can be used a place to have a drink with friends. Often, we are asked to build a bar, add large televisions on the walls, and make an outdoor seating space, for example, where someone can sit on the decking outside the summerhouse.

A space to socialise

Often one of the most common reasons, why we are called is to build a large wooden summerhouse to be used as a place to socialise and relax. Therefore, all over Wales, from the Vale of Glamorgan, through to the mumbles in Swansea, often what is needed is a large building, a place where the homeowners can watch the rugby on the weekends, that has a large jacuzzi on the side, and also has spot lights all around it, so when the evening comes, it still becomes a place you want to go out, and enjoy a glass of wine.

A place to run a business from

Often many small business owners want to hand back the keys to rented office space, say that’s in the centre of Cardiff, and instead work from home, and have a large garden building built instead, as a place to work from, and have customers to visit as well. For example, the business owner may well be a wedding dress maker, web designer or even an architect, we can build a garden office built the way they want.
