Timber garden offices have become increasingly popular to create that perfect separation of home life and work, with a purpose-built, aesthetic, and affordable timber building. 

Breakdown of a typical timber garden office cost

The cost of your timber office can be influenced by several factors related to the foundation, materials, and features you choose. Here’s a breakdown of how your decisions will affect the final price:

Foundation

  • Concrete base: This is the standard foundation and is typically included in the base price.
  • Alternative surfaces: Using surfaces other than concrete might require additional discussions and potentially lead to adjusted costs.

Floor protection

  • Bricks: Installing bricks for moisture protection adds to the cost compared to the alternative.
  • Galvanised Steel Plinth: This is a lower-maintenance and potentially less expensive option compared to bricks.

Timber frame

  • The timber itself comes at a set price as it’s all high-quality, slow-grown wood.

Roofing

  • Onduline: This is the most basic and affordable roofing option we offer.
  • Asphalt Shingle: This is a more visually appealing option that might cost slightly more than Onduline.
  • Onduvilla: This option offers a tile effect and comes in various colours, potentially increasing the cost compared to Onduline.
  • Cedar Shingles: These are the most expensive roofing materials but offer a premium look and long lifespan.
  • Other Options: Galvanised box profile and P6 Fibre cement are available upon request and might come at different price points than the aforementioned options.

Guttering

  • Front and back guttering are optional extras that will add to the cost.

Windows and doors

The size, style, glazing options, and ventilation features of your windows and doors will significantly impact the cost. Bigger, more intricate designs with advanced ventilation will be more expensive than basic configurations.

Additional garden office cost considerations

There are additional factors to take into account depending on specific requirements. Delivery and installation costs vary depending on your location between £110 to £520. 

There may also be potential permit costs if you require planning permission for your timber office. Check with your local authorities on planning permission requirements.

Once you have your timber office installed, you might want to customise it with features like electrical wiring, plumbing, furniture, and more which will impact the final cost of your timber office.
