Painted garden rooms allow you to immediately match the building with the rest of your garden decor. You save time and effort with buildings that are already painted, with no need to paint them yourself. A colourful garden room can become the focal point of your garden or add some brightness to the space.
Buying a ready-painted garden room from 1st Choice Leisure Buildings offers several advantages that can enhance your outdoor space efficiently. Their pre-painted options save you time and effort, eliminating the need for additional painting and allowing you to enjoy your new building immediately. The quality of materials and craftsmanship ensures durability, making it a long-term investment that you can trust.
With various styles and sizes available, you can find a design that complements your garden aesthetic while providing a functional space for relaxation or work. Additionally, the ready-to-use feature minimises installation hassles, making it an appealing choice for those seeking convenience without compromising quality.
With a painted garden room, you get the best of both worlds regarding functionality and style. They are perfect for your garden if you want more usable space. It gives you extra space you can use as an office, studio, workshop, or any other place you might like. When you choose a painted room, it adds a burst of colour to your garden, too. It will look stunning as soon as it’s installed, and the protective coating of the paint will also ensure it is shielded from the elements immediately.
Most of our buildings can be pre-treated in a range of colours to brighten up your garden. The products we sell are not the ‘cheap and cheerful’ buildings you can buy online made from inferior materials and down to a price. After 45 years in the business, we know what is important in making a quality garden building – one that will last and will look good in your garden.
How about brightening your garden with a pre-painted building? However, ensure you don’t buy a ‘dud’. Do your research and always look at your intended purchase before signing on the ‘dotted line’. Don’t end up in the situation – if only! Visit our show site and see for yourself how good our buildings are. You won’t regret it.
A garden office painted in the colour of your choice is a fantastic addition to your garden—but which colour should you choose? We have an array of colours to select from for the best shade. Some of the things you might want to think about when choosing a colour include:
* Existing colours in your garden – do you want to coordinate the colour of your shed with the shades already in your garden, or create some contrast?
* Subtlety or big impact? A neutral or paler colour could be more understated, while a brighter shade could stand out.
* Keeping it natural – painting over the natural material doesn’t have to mean losing the natural feel altogether if you choose the right colour.
When you want to paint something, there’s always the question of whether you should go the DIY route. Is it cheap and easy to do it yourself? It’s a job you could tackle on your own, especially if you have some painting experience, but there are advantages to buying a pre-painted garden room, too.
Buy a garden building that’s already painted, and you’ll save yourself a lot of work. Buying paint is unnecessary; you won’t have to get messy completing the job. Moreover, you can see the final result when choosing a painted garden room. If you want to DIY it, you could risk the paint drying in a different shade from what you expected.

Can I use a painted garden room as an office all year round?
Yes — most people do. As long as the building is
insulated and has proper windows and doors, it’s comfortable in every season. Many homeowners in Surrey and Guildford use them as home offices, studios or hobby rooms because they stay warm in winter with a small heater and stay cool enough in the summer with ventilation. Once electrics are installed, it feels very much like an indoor room.
-
Do I need planning permission for a painted garden room in Surrey?
Most people don’t need
planning permission because garden rooms usually fall under Permitted Development. As long as you keep the building under the standard height limits and it doesn’t take up more than half the garden, it’s normally allowed. There are exceptions if your property is listed or in a conservation area. The rules are a little stricter. Check with your
local council or ask 1st Choice for advice.

How long does it take to put one up?
The installation itself is usually quite quick. After the base is prepared, most painted garden rooms go up in a day. Larger designs or rooms with extra features — such as internal partitions, upgraded glazing, or electrical work — can take a little longer, but it’s still a fairly fast process compared to traditional building work. Because the painting is done in the factory, you don’t have to wait for on-site painting to dry.

How well does the painted finish hold up in Surrey weather?
A quality
factory-applied paint or stain is designed to cope with a mix of rain, sun and colder months, so it generally lasts several years before needing attention. Surrey’s weather can be unpredictable, but the finish helps protect the timber underneath from moisture and fading. Giving the exterior a gentle clean once or twice a year stops dirt from building up and helps the paint stay looking fresh for longer.

What type of base do I need for a painted garden room in Surrey?
A
solid, level base is essential and will protect the building from damp, and 1st Choice can help with this. Just pop in to their showroom at Sutton Green, close to Guildford, Woking and Ripley in Surrey or give them a call. If you are not too far away, they can often offer a free site survey. A good base also helps the painted exterior last longer by keeping the structure off wet soil.
