Platinum Fareham Apex Buildings

A Platinum Fareham Workshop is so much more than any other timber building. The sturdy frame and maintenance free Onduline roof covering provide a long-lasting home for all your gardening tools whilst the toughened glass opening windows ensure a comfortable place to work.

Often used as a craft or hobby room it would be equally at home used as a garden games room for more leisurely activities.

Choose from three different pressure treated cladding finishes and a large variety of sizes and specifications to suit your space and budget requirements.

Each building comes with a set of wide double doors for easy access and ample windows. The number of window sets will vary depending on the size of the building but these, like the doors, are positioned to suit: a fully bespoke building at an ‘off the peg’ price.

These buildings need to be seen to see how good they are. Beauty is in the ‘eye of the beholder’ and this is certainly true with wooden buildings. However, there’s no substitute for viewing these buildings ‘in the flesh’ so you can see the attention to detail given to these buildings.

Free Assembly

Besides the great quality of these buildings, free installation is included as standard. Which all adds up to the overall value of them. And it’s always worth checking out customer’s feedback to see what they say.

Don’t Buy On Price Alone

When choosing a new workshop for your garden you need to check out thoroughly the specifications of it. Examine the very high specifications below to ensure any prospective purchase meets the very high standards of the Platinum Southampton apex.

By doing so you will see that these buildings are unbeatable for quality. They are more expensive than a ‘run of the mill’ building but no corners are cut when making it. NEVER made ‘down to a price’. You MAY save some money but will you get what you really want?

Examine The Quality

It’s great advice to view beforehand and by doing so you can be sure of the quality. You can be the judge and decide whether the higher price is worth paying. Can that building you are looking at on the ‘web’ be viewed beforehand? And if not – WHY not?

Types and Styles of Garden Shed and Choosing the Right One

When buying a garden workshop it’s important that you buy one which will suit you and your garden so rather than compromising we offer a very large range of styles which should suit all situations. However, if our standard styles of sheds don’t fit YOUR bill please let us know and we will endeavour to accommodate you. After all it is YOUR new garden building so you should call the shots, so to speak.
Then how about our insulation package? Fitted for you this is the ideal solution & enables you to use your new building all year round. See How Affordable This Is ABOVE in order form..

Click for Colour Sheds Personalise your building in a range of colours. Natural features of the wood such as grain, knows and fixings may still be visible. Building will still be pressure treated ensuring a very long life for your new building.
Don’t Buy On Price Alone! – These buildings are exceptional value for money but no corners are cut in production. These Platinum units are NEVER made down to a price so be very wary of other products which seem especially cheap!.

These are estimated delivery times and presume that your base is in situ and all required admin has been completed (site survey forms returned, etc.) The quoted times cannot be guaranteed and may vary depending upon your exact location as well as the availability of staff and raw materials. The times quoted do not make allowance for any Christmas closedowns. Please check at time of ordering if timing is crucial. Please also be aware - if requesting additional services such as base construction or building removal - that these may be longer than the quoted delivery time for the building itself and this may impact the overall timeframe.
The price for the building includes free delivery and installation within the areas shown but this is dependant upon a suitable level and accessible base being available. If access is through the property or if there are height restrictions or tight corners which demand the panels be made in smaller sections then there will be an extra cost of £180. Likewise a charge of £180 is applicable if there is no direct parking outside the property eg if a third person has to be sent to move the vehicle to another location and sit with it whilst installation works are underway. Red route deliveries may not be possible so please inquire with office with photos etc.
