Garden Offices UK

If you’re self-employed, a remote worker, or a small home business, it’s probably high time you thought about investing in a home office building. With our huge range of wooden offices, WPC office pods, and log cabins, you will find sleek designs and fully functional outdoor office spaces to suit your needs.

Home Offices

It’s easy to see the appeal of remote and hybrid working. Working from home means there is no commute, so no getting stuck in traffic and worrying about being late for work. With less time spent travelling, you will have more time on your hands to spend either with family or doing the things you love. You can also save money on petrol, and takeaway coffees. What’s more, less travel and fewer cars on the road can only be better for the environment too.

Garden Office Buildings

If you work from home, then you’ll need a space for a dedicated work area. A detached garden office building is the obvious choice. It means no need to clutter up the dining table or corner of the lounge if you don’t have a spare room. Experience the smart garden office life with a garden building from Dunster House. Manage your work-life balance and reduce your morning commute to a few seconds. You can keep your work and home life completely separate, allowing you to get the best of both worlds!

Having a specific office building means you won’t easily have distractions from others in the house or interruptions during important meetings and phone calls. Being completely separate from the house enables you to maintain the right balance between your work and home life. After the working day is done, you can shut down, close the door, and leave the office behind. There will be no reminders of work around you in the home so you can fully shut off and relax.

Our garden offices have Euro cylinder locks which are used in our uPVC doors as part of our secure industry locking system, ensuring maximum safety and security. As a result, your important documents or expensive equipment will be well protected and safe.

Multi-Room Garden Office

If you’re looking to make the most of your garden space, opt for a multiple room log office, where you get the benefit of two separate rooms together in one compact building. Our multi-room log cabins come in various styles and options. You can separate your log cabin to create different work, relaxation, and storage areas by opting for either one of our multi-room log cabins or a log cabin with a sidestore.

Our versatile multi-room log cabins will give you the flexibility to use them however you need. They are perfect if you’re looking to use them for leisure, storage or as an office. You can set the rooms out exactly how you need them without the expenses of a house extension. The SideStore is a separate building designed to attach to the side of a log cabin. It is ideal for storing excess office supplies, extra furniture, or garden tools.

Garden Home Offices

Easily set up your own business at home with an office in the garden. With one lump payment for the premises, there’s no need for the expense of rental costs. Therefore saving you money in the long run. A garden office will provide you with a professional layout that will impress visitors. Ideal for holding business meetings, or for creating a private space for clients. Whether you plan to run a tech agency, hair and beauty salon, dog grooming parlour, solicitor’s office, music studio, or arts and crafts business, a garden office can accommodate your needs.

Insulated Garden Studio

Chances are, you’ll be spending a lot of time in your garden office, whether you’ll be working hard or enjoying some downtime. Whatever the reason, both our modern offices and WPC (Wood Polymer Composite) office pods are fully insulated, allowing you to use them all year round.

In addition to that, our log cabin offices offer more variety, styles and insulated options. You can choose between adding insulation to your log office, or opt for one of our fully insulated home office log cabins.

Our Warmalog insulated log cabins are an innovative concept. They are built using a unique 62mm sandwich of timber and polyisocyanurate insulation, which make up the walls, but have a U-Value that is equivalent to 110mm wall logs. An ideal option for any weather, which will keep you and your loved ones warm and cosy. Our unique triple tongue and groove wall logs and industry leading double glazed windows come included as standard.

Our insulation is quick and easy to install and helps retain the heat. Thus saving you on your heating bills. We always supply polyisocyanurate insulation, a far better insulator than Rockwool or polystyrene.

Pressure Treated Garden Offices

Our pressure treated Titania and Helena range are not only attractive wooden garden rooms, but exclusive garden retreats. These garden offices feature a very advanced roofing system manufactured by IzoPanel. They use a stiff polyisocyanurate foam core (a material that provides a very low thermal conductivity rating) joined together tightly with overlapping cladding in a trapezoidal profile which makes strong joints that prevent water ingress. Altogether the roof is waterproof, has great thermal characteristics, and is uniquely strong. We don’t compromise on quality just because it’s a garden building.

Our pressure treated wooden outdoor office range comes with fire resistant inner walls for further protection and peace of mind. You can be sure in the knowledge that your office in the garden has increased protection from fire. The fibreboard comes unpainted, but you can decorate it to your taste, as it is a good surface for paint and is easy to wallpaper.

The walls, floor and vented windows are designed to resist moisture build up. This is because the walls of our Helena and Titania ranges have layers of shiplap cladding, moisture resistant membrane, thermal insulation panels, and interior walls of gypsum fibreboard. The pressure treated floor bearers are covered by a layer of Wood Polymer Composite (WPC), followed by layers of insulation and MFP board. These layers minimise the transfer of moisture through the floor and walls, making your garden office a comfortable working environment all year round.

Modern Offices

Enhance your garden and work life with our smart office rooms. Our contemporary garden offices have a Wood Polymer Composite (WPC) exterior for high durability and low maintenance. An aesthetically pleasing choice for a modern garden office, that would complement any home or garden.

The walls, roof and floor of our Paddington Garden Offices are fully insulated with Polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation. We use this insulation as it is one of the best insulators around. This material is known for its high insulating properties and is far superior to alternatives such as polystyrene, bubble wrap, or rockwool. Insulation will help you to maintain the temperature inside your garden office, for a comfortable working environment throughout the seasons.

Our contemporary offices feature domestic standard uPVC windows and doors with 28mm double glazed sealed units. This is made up of two 4mm toughened glass panes on either side of a 20mm aluminium spacer bar. Designed to absorb any moisture and prevent condensation from forming within the unit. The multi-point locking systems on the windows and doors ensure high security.

Home Office Log Cabins

Our huge range of log cabins are ideal for use as a garden office. With industry leading multi-point locking doors and windows, toughened glass, 19mm tongue & groove floor and roof included, pressure treated floor bearers, and made from high quality spruce.

Available with a traditional chalet style apex roof, or for contemporary tastes, our cabin offices in pent roof styles may be more satisfactory.

Dominator Garden Offices

Our Dominator Offices are designed with an easy-to-build panel system that is customisable to be configured in a layout to suit you. Place the windows and doors where you want with your own semi bespoke garden office. The pre-fabricated panels allow for quick assembly, and also less chance of error.

The fully insulated walls, roof and floor can help keep your office at a comfortable temperature for use all year round. The 24mm double glazed toughened glass windows and doors provide heat and sound insulation too. Multi-point locking doors and windows ensure security.

Garden Office Pods

The Spaceship micro office pod is the ideal answer when in need of compact office space. Designed to fit tight spaces, or down the side of the house, this mini office will suit all situations. Deceptively roomy, it will appeal to those with limited space, or those just wanting a small isolated area.

A comfortable and affordable office space that doesn’t skimp on quality. Fully insulated wall, roof and floor panels with a low maintenance hard wearing WPC exterior. Domestic standard 28mm double glazed uPVC windows and doors with secure multi-point locks.

Garden Office Room

Extend your living space into the garden with a multipurpose garden studio. A simple solution to achieving the goal of adding extra room without great cost and upheaval. Our wooden offices are as diverse as our customer needs. Therefore, giving you the opportunity to combine your home office needs with your favourite hobbies and activities.

Create your own garden retreat that’s easily accessible within a few steps of your back door. A space where you can chill out, and play some indoor sports or video games. If you’re into fitness, perhaps a space to work out in peace. Better yet, get the noisy teens out of the house with a teenage den. All these options are a possibility with our garden office buildings.

Garden Office Shed

Our garden office sheds are ideal if you are in need of some extra storage on the side. Combine your luxury garden office pod with a variety of sidestores that are sure to please all tastes and needs. They are an attractive, practical storage addition to any garden building. Store your essentials in a place that’s easy to retrieve them from. Whether it’s your lawn mower, bicycles, garden tools, or garden furniture, rest assured your belongings will sit in a safe place right next to your garden building.

Our sidestores have 28mm interlocking log walls that attach to the side of your garden office building. They come with a single solid door and domestic door handle and lock to match the log cabin.

Garden Office Summerhouse

You will enjoy working in your own garden office summerhouse because you’ll have no commuter stress or high office rents to worry about. Simply let your space and personal taste guide you to a garden building that suits your requirements.

We know how important it is to have a bright and airy space to work. Hence, our large opening windows and double French doors. Perfect for letting sunlight pour in, or enjoying a gentle summer breeze. The ability to open windows and doors, along with the inclusion of air vents will aid ventilation.

Maintain Your Garden Office

To ensure your wooden garden office has a prolonged life, it’s crucial that you take the correct measurements to maintain it properly.

Our pressure treated wooden office range comes with a 10 year guarantee against rot and insect infestation, meaning you will not need to retreat it in this time. However, we do recommend applying a water repellent to help prolong the life of the timber.

For more information, take a look at our how to maintain your garden office guide.

If you’re choosing a Wood Polymer Composite (WPC) garden office, then maintenance will be minimal. However, we recommend that you wipe the external walls down with warm soapy water every now and again to stop them from getting stains.

Maintain Your Log Cabin Office

For log cabin offices, it’s recommended you choose the right treatment, and that you treat it as soon as it’s built. We offer a variety of wood preservatives in a range of colours so you can paint your log cabin office to your own style. In addition to selecting the best log cabin treatment, it’s also important that you re-apply treatment when required.

Creating an environment that aids moisture control is an important element in maintaining your garden building. Make sure measures are in place for the roof, floor, foundations and surrounding drainage to help shake off extra moisture and prevent rot, fungal decay and insect infestation.

At Dunster House, we use pressure treated floor bearers to protect the lowest part of the building. We use a large pressure treatment tank that forces the treatment deep into the timber at high pressure. Due to this effective process, we offer our customers a genuine 10 year guarantee against rot and insect infestation on the bearers.

For more information, take a look at our how to maintain your log cabin guide.

Log Cabin Garden Offices

Your garden office building is made of timber, a natural product that will contract and expand throughout different weather conditions. Once the garden log cabin is erected, there will be a period of “settling” as the wood reacts and adjusts to the surrounding climate. Splits and cracks may occur over time but that shouldn’t compromise the quality of your garden building.

The use of interlocking tongue and groove timber in our log cabins helps with the strength and stability of the walls as well as the natural expansion and contraction of the timber.

Planning Permission for Garden Offices

You may have found a wooden office pod to your exact taste and measurements. That’s great! However, before placing an order for your wooden garden building, it’s important to familiarise yourself with any planning permission or building regulations that may apply in your area.

The good news is our garden office buildings don’t normally require planning permission because they are under 2.5m high. Although some exceptions may still apply, which is why it’s vital that you check. For more detailed information on planning permission, permitted development rights and building regulations, take a look at the official government website.
