Introduction

We have already built many garden rooms here in Wales, we are a business that’s focused on building very high-quality wooden summerhouses.

When we build your new summerhouse in Wales, you can pick from so many different options, from having sky-lights installed in the roof, through to different exterior LED lightening options.

Which cladding you choose will greatly change the appearance of your garden room, so for example, if you wanted a summerhouse which is contemporary looking, then you might opt for exterior cladding, which is made using composite cladding boards, and is grey or a light blue in colour?

Yet, sometimes, a customer won’t want a modern garden room, they will want a building clad with a natural wood, that’s a hardwood. We can offer you many different types of wood cladding, as this article will explain, there are a huge range of different options to choose from.

One of the most expensive parts, in terms of building a Cardiff garden room, is the cladding.

There are cheaper options, for example, sometimes the back of the garden room is rarely seen by the owners, that’s because the whole building is positioned so close to the garden fence, in this case, you might want to opt for metal sheet cladding at the back.

We are now going to explain some of your options, we will also talk-about some of the more popular options, and this will give you a much better understanding of the exterior cladding options we offer, if we were to build your new summerhouse here in the city of Cardiff.

Red Cedar (Hardwood Exterior Cladding)

By a country mile, the most popular exterior cladding that our customers choose is “red cedar” cladding. It’s a very popular option, sometimes, if you have a larger budget, we can clad the whole building using this.

Often however, to keep costs lower, the customer will tell us, to clad the front elevation using red cedar wood. Then at the sides, and the back, sometimes green colour metal sheet cladding is used, as this can help to reduce costs.

Pine wood

Pine is a softwood, its therefore often cheaper than many hardwoods, therefore if you’re looking for an inexpensive option, then you may want to opt for a pine wood cladding.

Composite Cladding

A lot of our customers are now increasingly opting for “composite cladding”- this type of cladding, for your summerhouse comes in a large range of different colour options.

The most popular colours are a light blue shade, or grey cladding, once added, this gives a very modern look to the garden room. We can also add outdoor LED lighting to the decking, and to the canopy, so at night, the whole building can be illuminated.

Many hardwood options

We can offer you a large range of natural wood cladding, for example, there’s a large range of timber cladding, such as oak or beech cladding, as well as softwoods, such as pine.

Sometimes, because hardwoods are expensive, the customer will just have the front clad with timber the rest will be metal sheeting.

Composite decking and cladding

We are often asked to extend the front of our garden rooms, by constructing decking, using composite decking. This decking can come in different colours, and the customer will often want the decking to match the cladding, therefore we can offer you different colours, and install the decking and the cladding so that they match.

We want a large garden room built, yet, what’s the most affordable cladding option that you offer?

Some of the timber summerhouses that we build are very large rooms, for example, we are often being asked on a regular basis to build rooms to be used as a home gym.

Sometimes, the homeowner will want to add a lot of gym equipment inside the garden room, and also have space for other items in their gym, such as room for many dumbbells.

This means that the room often needs to be very large, sometimes in the shape of an L, therefore if the room so to be clad with a hardwood, such as red cedar wood, well, this might sometimes substantially increase the cost of the construction, simply because this type of timber is very expensive.

Therefore, when we meet with you, we can talk about less expensive options, such as, where possible using metal cladding, or cheaper wood options.

We can therefore suggest different design options for you.

How much do garden rooms cost in Wales?

Some companies that build garden rooms in Wales do sometimes offer fixed costs, for example, they may offer a brochure, which shows the summerhouse, and the different sizes, then next to each size is the cost.

However, here at Kingsley, we instead offer quotes after we have listened to what the customer wants, and we have visited the garden. For example, building a garden room on a slope, is going to involve more construction work, than if the building is to be built on a concrete slab that might already exist due to a garage being demolished.

Therefore we will need to meet with you in your garden, to see the ground, and if its suitable to build on, or whether some landscaping work, such as removing old bushes, or levelling the ground is needed, prior to us constructing the building.

Then, because we offer so many different options, such as different cladding, different air-conditioning systems, different doors, different roofing, different decking, and also different internal flooring options, we will need to know which options you want, so that we can calculate an estimate for you.

Thinking of having a garden room built in Wales?

Here in Wales we do have beautiful scenery, whether its countryside as far as the eye can see, sea views, or you may look out onto woodland, often a homeowner here in Wales, will want a garden room built, to work in, or as a place to relax. We have built many summerhouses in Wales, and offer very competitive prices.

What if I am unsure as to which composite or timber cladding to opt for?

Our estimators can meet with you, and we can show you some of the many garden rooms and summerhouses that we have already constructed here in Wales.

You may then see a summerhouse that we have already built in Wales that you like the design of , we will be able to tell you which cladding that is, and then we can offer you a quote.

If your thinking of having a wooden summerhouse built in Wales, then why not call us?

We fully appreciate the fact that when most garden offices, as well as summerhouses are photographed, they are often pictured on a very bright summer’s day when the sun is beaming down and everything appears warm. This means, that this sometimes gives the impression that these buildings can only be used during the summer.

However, one of the most common uses for the buildings that we construct, is to use the space as a place of work, therefore we mostly build in Wales “garden offices” in homes right across South Wales.

This means one week we could be working on a garden building is the fantastic area of The Mumbles in Swansea, then the following week we could be in the heart of Cyncoed, Cardiff building a very large garden office.

We therefore know that people who purchase a Kingsley Garden Building, don’t just want to use it when the sun is out and the weather is nice, they want to working in their buildings right throughout the entire year. They therefore want a garden room that’s well insulated, built by experts, and has real high-quality aluminium windows and doors, correctly fitted, so the structure is better insulated.

For this to occur, the building needs to be well constructed, by highly skilled and talented carpenters, also quality installation needs to be used in the walls, and this needs to be accompanied by properly installed windows and doors, that’s exactly what we deliver.

We make sure that we supply and install quality windows and doors on every summerhouse / luxury garden room

The quality of the doors and also the aluminium windows can sometimes vary massively, some can be so cheaply and poorly built.

Therefore, what is needed is very high-quality bi-fold that is aluminium by windows and doors, that are very well made- that’s exactly what we can supply.

Will we still be able to work and use our garden office / room during the winter months?

Most certainly, when our estimator comes out to meet you in your garden, we can discuss with you all the various insulation options that we offer, there are many different options to pick from in terms of wall and ceiling insulation.

Each will have a different insulation property, however if you are planning on using the room throughout the entire year, you will need a high level of insulation, in the roofing and in the walls, to help you better regulate the temperature.  

We can therefore offer you many different insulation options

How well insulated are the walls?

We can offer you different options in terms of wall insulation, this is so you can better regulate the temperature within the building.

How do you ensure that you use quality windows and doors?

Some garden room companies focus overly on profit; therefore, they purchase their bi-folds sometimes and the cheapest supplier they can.

We take a totally different approach, we are constantly busy building our garden buildings and summerhouses right throughout Wales, that’s because we focus on quality and therefore have a very strong reputation for building well-made buildings, that are built using quality windows and doors, as well as roof lights if required.

Are you able to install a heater(s) for us?

Yes, you most certainly can, we can install a wall mounted heater for you.

We hear that it’s possible to have a heater that’s remote-controlled, are you able to offer this?

Sometimes an owner of a new wooden summerhouse will work from home, and they need the temperature to be warm enough inside the summerhouse to work in the building throughout the day.

You might wish to opt for a heater which can be controlled from your smartphone, you simply switch on their smartphone, and start to regulate the temperature in your garden office or room, so when they walk into the summerhouse, it’s nice and warm so you can instantly begin your work.

Therefore, you might wish to opt for an optional heater, which can be controlled from your smartphone.

Why not call Kingsley today?

If you are thinking of having a garden rooms built, they why not call us?

Traditionally a lot of people think that a garden room is simply used as a place to relax during the summer months, however with that said, as this article will illustrate, our garden rooms built in South Wales, are often used for a wide variety of different uses.
From uses as a beauty salon, to running an online business, right through to being used as a cinema room. So, whether you’re an entrepreneur, and you need a place to run your business from, or you simply want a place to watch the football on the weekend of your friends, we can build a luxury garden room for you.

Within this article we are going to look at the common uses of why our customers in Cardiff, and right across Wales ask us to build a summerhouse for them.
We will also explain some of the features that we can offer, to help the garden building be used for that purpose.

For example, if you want to create a space to have a home gym we can offer air conditioning, if you want to use the space to watch the football, we can offer to fit an increased number of sockets to fit multiple T. V’s, if you wish to use the space as a home office we can fit a wall, so you have an area to make teas and coffees throughout the whole day.

From Swansea to Cardiff and over to Newport Garden rooms are becoming very popular, yet, with that said, the home owner doesn’t just want any company offering a quote, they want quality, this is why Kingsley is called, because through recommendations, through our solid reputation, we are expanding, and we can build any type of summerhouse, log cabin and garden room within the great country of Wales.

Home Bar

A very common purpose for why we build our garden rooms, is so that the homeowner has a place to watch the football or the rugby, and also to use the space as a home bar when they have friends over.

So for example, we can build large garden rooms all over Wales, from Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, to Cardiff.

We can make these spaces air-conditioned, we can add build a wooden bar, we can offer to install a heater, insulate the walls, we can also put multiple plug sockets around the room, so you can fit a large TV and speakers- we think this makes a great space, to watch the Welsh rugby team play, or for example, you may well be a Cardiff City Football supporter? So why not hire us to build you a garden room, so you can relax and watch the football from your brand-new garden building?

Therefore the garden rooms that we build within Cardiff and the surrounding areas, are often used as a place to have friends over to watch a sporting event whether it be Welsh rugby, Cardiff City or perhaps Cardiff Devils ice hockey team?

This often means that the homeowner specifies that they want a really large garden room built, with the ability to put large high-definition televisions on the wall, they also ask our carpenters to build a bar area, complete with an area to hang various spirits on the wall.

Once furnished, we often see the customers put comfortable seating into the room, they often enhance the sound of the television with extra speakers, so that they can further enjoy the sporting event.

As a home office

A lot of people now working from their homes, yet sometimes they don’t want to work within the house, they want to work within a well built, quality garden office that’s built by Kingsley.

They often therefore need opt for our builders to build an insulated, air-conditioned and also heated garden office and that’s exactly what we can build if you opt for that design. This means, you can have a well built space, that if you want to, you can work from all year around in South Wales.

All over Wales, from the Brecon Beacons areas, right down to Cardiff city centre, homeowners want high-quality garden office built, they want it to have an electric connection, so that they can use the place to run a business from or just to complete work for their employer.

Simply as a place to relax

We are frequently being asked to build large timber garden rooms, in areas such as Cardiff, Wales as well as the city of Newport, such as in Rogerstone, also within other areas such as The Vale of Glamorgan which incorporate a Jacuzzi area, to the side of the garden room.

We quite simply build luxury garden rooms within Wales

The whole build is therefore focused on making a space where the homeowners can go to relax after work, you might opt for a large Jacuzzi / hot tub to the side, the main building might be used as a cinema room to watch your favourite films from, you might have large comfortable sofas, a large wine chiller which might hold say 50 bottles of wine, you might have a bar area set up, complete with draft beer, you might even have a massage chair fitted there, so becomes a place to go and relax after a busy day at work.

Home Gym and Yoga Area

More and more people are investing in owning their own gym equipment, whether that be a treadmill or another piece of equipment, often the homeowner will want a place to go and complete their work out from their home.

A lot of homeowners like the fact that when they own their own garden room, which is used as a gym, they haven’t got to wait the gym equipment to become available at a gym no more, and also sometimes it acts as a space with a personal trainer can train individual in terms of improving their fitness.

Therefore, a very common reason why we are being asked to build garden rooms within Wales, is simply because the homeowner wants a place where they can improve their fitness. Perhaps the person runs a business, and hasn’t got the time to travel to a local gym, so they want their own space at home, where they can work out there.
Alternatively, you may even be a personal trainer, and you want to start training your clients at home, in your own gym.

The space can also be air-conditioned, for your comfort during the summer if you wish to opt for that option, you might also incorporate into the design a really large set of bi-folding doors, which can simply be folded back to let the summer breeze in, that’s while you are working out.

You might also want mounted on the walls large televisions, which some people like when you are using the space a home gym, for example you might want a music channel on while you are running on the treadmill?
We therefore build garden rooms, of many different sizes throughout Cardiff, and the surrounding areas, like Newport.

Split use

A very common use for a garden room that we construct, is to use the room for multiple different uses, for example during the day, the homeowner might work from the garden room, and have a large desk, bookshelves and also an area to make teas and coffees, as well as a meeting table if their clients come over to meet them.

On the other half of the garden room, there might be a plasterboard partition, when you open the wooden door, to the other area which can be used as a home gym, therefore the space can be used for multiple different purposes not just one.

If you wish to have a garden room built by Kingsley, we can help you to get a dual use from it, for example, to create one half of the room as a home office, another half as a relaxation space, to watch the football?
