Our Services
Frequently asked questions?
Here's some common questions we get asked, have any others? Give us a call today...
Do I need planning permission for my Log Cabin?
Usually, no, if your cabin is within common size and height limits (e.g., typically 2.5m tall near boundaries) and isn't used as a separate home. However, rules change for listed buildings or in special areas like Conservation Areas. If you're unsure please feel free to give us a call today.
Do you remove any waste materials after the installation?
Our service includes the assembly of your cabin. While we ensure our work area is tidy and will bag up any small offcuts or packaging that came with the cabin kit, we do not typically include the removal of large waste materials or excess packaging from the site. This will need to be arranged by the customer.
Do you assemble the entire cabin kit, including windows and roofing?
Yes, our service includes the full assembly of your cabin kit, which typically involves erecting the walls, fitting the roof structure, installing windows and doors, and laying the felt or shingles if they are part of the kit. We aim to leave you with a fully enclosed and structurally complete cabin.
Do you remove any waste materials after the installation?
While our installations require a level and stable base, we understand that not all gardens are perfectly flat. If your ground has a slight slope, a suitable base can often compensate. For significant slopes, specialist groundwork may be required before we can begin. Please discuss any challenges with your site when requesting a quote.
Garden Room Optional Extra
These are all additional options we would recommend to help you get settled in to your new garden room...
Insulation
Insulation keeps your cabin comfortable year-round, cuts energy costs, and protects against moisture and noise. Often cheaper then buying direct from the garden room supplier*
Painting/Staining
Painting or staining protects your cabin from weather, UV damage, and moisture. It keeps the wood looking great and lasting longer with less maintenance.
Gutters
Guttering protects your cabin by directing rainwater away, preventing damp, rot, and foundation damage. It’s a fantastic add-on that extends your cabin’s life.
Decking
Add decking to your log cabin for the perfect outdoor space to relax, entertain, or enjoy nature. It extends your living area and gives your cabin a polished, finished look.
Electrics
From lighting and heating to charging devices and powering tools. It turns your cabin into a fully functional space for work, relaxation, or year-round use.
Laminate flooring
Laminate flooring is ideal for cabins. It's incredibly durable, easy to clean, and resists scratches and spills. Offering a beautiful, low-maintenance finish in various styles, it's perfect for a practical yet attractive cabin interior.
