We recommend OPTIONAL Demidekk Ultimate log cabin paint range which can be colour matched to suit. See examples in
our photo gallery. 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.

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.

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.

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.
