We live quite far away; is it really worth visiting our show rooms?
Absolutely!
We strongly urge anyone looking for a new building – whether it's a new garden shed, summerhouse, workshop, garage, or a full garden room – to
visit and inspect the quality in person before committing to any purchase. Seeing the craftsmanship, materials and finishes for yourself is the best way to make a confident and informed decision.
Whilst we cannot display everything we offer, we have carefully selected around 80 different buildings that allow us to demonstrate almost every feature, design option, and construction detail in one form or another. This allows you to compare styles, sizes and specifications, ask any questions you may have, and find the building that best suits your needs.

These days, you may find yourself working from home more often. It’s a great way to create more flexibility in your schedule and avoid rushing into an office daily.
It’s essential that you set up an outdoor office space that offers privacy and is where you can concentrate. One idea is to look into getting an office shed that is perfect for remote work needs.
Bespoke Design
One benefit of getting an office with a shed is that it can be a bespoke design. This means you can create an office of your liking in any size and shape. It will all depend on how much room you have in your garden for your shed. You want to ensure it’s big enough to spread out and manoeuvre around.
You can look up some examples to better understand the type of design you want for your office shed at home. Having a shed and office combo at your home will be nice. You can use it as a quiet place to work or relax on the weekends.
Quality Materials
These office buildings are also made using quality materials. You won’t have to worry about your shed in different weather conditions or climates. They will typically be made of redwood deal timber. There aren’t any artificial OSB boards so you can ensure that your new structure will hold up over time.
It’s essential that your garden office shed is durable and that you feel safe and secure working in it. This is why we pride ourselves on ensuring it is made of only the best and most high-quality materials.
Free Installation
You’ll be happy that we offer free installation on all home office sheds. We are proud to supply you with this benefit as a paying customer. This way, you can invest your money in other ways to help create the perfect office building for you and your home.
Toughened Glass Windows
Another important element of the office shed you should care about is the structure and windows. Be glad the windows are made of toughened glass. This means they are sturdy and can keep out the harsh elements that the weather brings.
It will be nice to have windows in place so that you can draw in as much natural light as possible. Toughened glass is much stronger and more durable than regular glass. It won’t break or shatter easily, and these windows are heat resistant. They are also a good feature because they can help keep exterior sounds out so that you can work and focus on what you’re doing in your shed.
Optional Colour Paint Finish
You want your office shed to be attractive inside and out. Be glad to know that you have the option to have your shed painted with a certain colour. For example, make sure that it matches and goes well with the exterior of your home.
The options for what colour you can finish your office shed are endless. You may want your office to shed one solid colour and add some white trim, for example. There are many styles, so do your homework and create a final finish you are happy with.
Optional Insulation
You also have the choice of having your building insulated or not. We understand the importance of having an insulated office shed at your home. Insulation can help make your office building more comfortable.
It will keep you warm when it’s cold outside and offer better protection from various weather elements. Think about whether this is a feature you’ll want as part of your new building. Adding double-glazed windows is a good thing to do.
Next Steps
Suppose you are considering getting a shed and office combo but haven’t decided yet. In that case, we invite you to come into our showroom and look them over in person. This will help you better understand the building type most suitable for your home.
You’ll appreciate all the options and types of office sheds you can choose from. We look forward to working with you to get the building that suits your needs. You’ll find it very useful to have a place to go when you want to work from home and do so in the comfort of your garden.

You step across the lawn, shut the door, and the office world goes silent. The concept behind a garden office is straightforward yet highly effective. It creates a physical boundary between your professional and personal life. In short, after a working day, you can shut the door and walk away, leaving work behind. This clear division helps maintain a healthier balance between work and leisure time, and you will notice the impact immediately.
A well-built garden room adds practical living space and broader appeal to your property. Unlike traditional internal renovations, a garden office increases your usable square footage without disrupting your home. For future buyers, this is an attractive feature.
Compared to renting office space or building an extension, a garden office makes perfect financial sense. The one-time investment saves on commuting costs and office rental and reduces utility bills since you are only heating a small space rather than your entire house.
You could save up to £3,200 each year, as commuting can cost around £1,000 annually, while office rentals might average £1,500, and utility savings can add another £700 back into your pocket.
Unlike a dreary corporate office or cobbled-together home setup, a building with garden office installation is yours to design exactly as you wish. You control every aspect of your work environment to suit your own personal tastes and requirements.
With various options available, which garden room is the best choice for you? Let’s take a look at the different types.
Designed for year-round use, insulated garden room offices include insulation in the walls, roof, and floor. Models like the Royal and Regent come fully insulated, while Platinum options offer it as a custom upgrade.
Delivered pre-painted in a colour of your choice, our painted garden rooms save time and effort. They arrive ready to go and offer long-lasting protection with minimal upkeep. Available across the Regent, Royal, and Platinum ranges.
Perfect for tighter gardens, corner garden rooms fit neatly into unused space without compromising the interior space. Our Bursledon and Hamble models offer a practical layout that cleverly uses every square foot.
For smaller gardens or specific corner spaces, our garden office pods feature right-angle layouts that tuck neatly into garden corners. These compact structures provide a comfortable workspace for one or two people without dominating your garden.
Compact garden offices work wonderfully in smaller gardens. An 8×6 ft office provides ample space for a desk, chair, and modest storage, while maintaining a compact footprint – ideal for writers, remote workers with minimal equipment, or anyone needing a dedicated focus space.
Medium-sized garden rooms offer far greater flexibility. You can include a proper desk setup, storage cabinets, and perhaps a small meeting area. These sizes accommodate standard office furniture while still fitting into average British gardens.
Spacious garden offices provide luxurious working environments. Sizes ranging from 16×14 ft to 28×16 ft offer ample space for multiple functions – perhaps a main workspace, a meeting table, a creative zone, or even a small kitchenette.
Custom sizes are also available to fit your specific garden dimensions and work requirements.
Apex roofs deliver generous central headroom and classic charm. Their design facilitates effective rain and snow runoff while maintaining a timeless look that suits most garden styles.
With a single sloping surface, pent roofs offer clean, contemporary lines. These modern designs often stay under the 2.5m height restriction near boundaries, while the higher front wall allows for larger windows, maximising natural light.
Specially designed for corner garden offices, these roofs feature multiple slopes that meet at the corner junction. This clever design allows buildings to nestle into garden corners without awkward overhangs, maximising space while ensuring proper drainage.
Available with our premium Royal Garden Rooms, Strong Core is a high-performance engineered material offering exceptional durability with minimal maintenance. Unlike timber, it won’t warp or rot, providing a contemporary finish that withstands British weather with little upkeep.
Tongue-and-groove log lap features rounded external faces, creating a traditional log cabin appearance. Each board interlocks securely with the next, providing excellent insulation properties and a rustic charm for those who prefer a classic aesthetic.
One of our most popular options, T&G shiplap, consists of flat timber boards with a slight overlap creating subtle shadow lines. This interlocking system provides excellent weather resistance while maintaining a clean appearance that suits most gardens.
Also known as overlap cladding, weatherboard features tapered boards that overlap each other, allowing efficient water runoff. This traditional style adds texture and character while providing reliable protection from the elements.
A properly insulated garden office can transform a seasonal building into a comfortable year-round workspace. Given our harsh British winters, proper insulation is essential for anyone working out of a garden office in the UK.
At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, our premium Royal garden rooms include:
- Insulated walls, floors, and roofs for temperature regulation
- Quality double-glazed windows and doors to prevent heat loss
- Proper ventilation options for summer cooling
This comprehensive insulation system maintains comfortable working temperatures with minimal heating in winter, while keeping excessive heat out during summer.
Models like our Royal and Regent garden rooms in Guildford come fully insulated as standard, whereas many Platinum-range buildings offer insulation as an upgrade. For year-round use in the British climate, we strongly recommend choosing an insulated garden office.
Visualise the play of morning light spilling onto a reclaimed-oak desk, filling the room with a warm glow. Our customisation options allow you to adjust the positions of the garden room’s windows and doors, and add additional windows for extra light. You can also modify internal layouts to suit your workflow.
Many buildings can be adapted with partitions, different door styles, or bespoke dimensions to create your ideal workspace.
We can adjust garden room windows and doors, add windows for extra light, or modify internal layouts to suit your work flow. Many buildings can be adapted with partitions, different door styles, or bespoke dimensions to create your ideal workspace.
Select from a variety of paint and stain finishes to beautifully complement your garden. Our timber buildings can be supplied with factory-applied finishes in different colours, protecting the wood while expressing your personal style.
Improve your garden office with practical additions such as:
- Verandas or covered porches
- Additional security features
- Integrated storage solutions
- Guttering and water collection systems
- Electrical packages for lighting and power
Our garden offices are manufactured in Britain by skilled craftspeople using premium materials. Unlike mass-produced imports, our buildings are specifically designed for the British climate with attention to detail that ensures longevity.
We believe in honest business practices. While some competitors advertise “10-year warranties” with nearly impossible conditions, we offer straightforward warranties that provide genuine protection. Manufacturing issues typically occur within the first 12 months due to seasonal changes, which is exactly what our warranty covers.
Every garden is unique, which is why we offer truly adaptable designs. We can adjust sizes, door and window positions, and internal layouts to suit your specific requirements rather than limiting you to standard models.
Most of our garden room offices include free assembly by experienced professionals. This valuable service ensures your building is erected correctly, saving you time and potential headaches.
Visit our extensive Guildford show ground to experience our garden offices firsthand before making a purchase. Seeing the quality, stepping inside the spaces, and discussing options with our knowledgeable team gives you confidence in your selection.
Contact us today to discuss your garden room office requirements or visit our display site to see our quality firsthand. Alternatively, book a quick five-minute phone consultation to explore your options with no obligation. This simple step might be all you need to start your journey towards owning your ideal garden office.
