We were delighted to be approached by a client based in Saltdean, Sussex who were interested in building a Garden Room to use as a home office and storage space.

Number 17 Ltd were able to provide a full turn key package from laying the concrete pad, erecting the steel frame right through to a fully insulated building. The complete bespoke project took us approximately 1 month to complete and the outcome is fantastic…we hope you agree!

THE TASK

The brief was to create a building that housed a large office space so the customer could work from home, with the benefit of a 30 second commute from the house and the comfort of having their own working space away from the busy main home. The client is lucky enough to have a large garden with some beautiful views, so it was important to include as many windows and doors as possible to connect with the outdoors.

We opted for a concrete pad for this project as it was the preference of the customer. This was one of the largest Garden Rooms we have worked on to date, with a total building size of 8 x 4m, with multiple rooms. As always we used our light gauge steel, rolled off our very own FRAMECAD machine to construct this build. The software we use is able to take a detailed design drawing and create all the individual pieces of steel needed for erection. The steel frame for this build was erected in just 3 days!

The building was then fully insulated, plastered and decorated on the inside and finished with beautiful grey composite cladding on the outside. Our woodgrain composite cladding is the perfect way to achieve a real wood effect without the effort, thanks to its attractive embossed wood grain finish. This type of cladding is extremely low maintenance as it doesn’t require painting, staining, treating or sealing. The customer chose grey UPVC windows and doors of various sizes for this build. A large French door at the front of the building allows the building to open onto the client's beautiful garden. All of our windows and doors meet building regulations specification standards of enhanced security performance.

We worked closely with the customer to ensure that the finish inside the building met all their requirements. All electrical and plumbing work was completed by specialist tradesmen to ensure it was fully operational as quickly as possible. The client is now able to work from the comfort of their own home.

Finally, the building was finished with a EPDM rubber roofing system that comes with a 20 year warranty. Our roofing systems are BBA approved and with their life expectancy standing at an impressive 50 years, this is an incredibly durable and long-lasting product.

THE FEEDBACK

The client was delighted to share this feedback with us upon completion of their project;

“I would say that the service provided by No 17 was first class – excellent in both the design and install stages of my garden room. I’d happily recommend No 17 to others."
