Things to consider when buying a garden office
Few people buy from the first garden room website they see and it is a bit of a minefield, so what are the most pertinent questions to ask?
Ask garden office manufacturers these questions...
- Can you make my garden room the exact size or design that suits my garden, or must I choose from standard sizes only?
- Can I choose the windows I want?
- Can I choose where the windows go?
- Can I put the doors where I like?
- As many forms of insulation exist, what is the equivalent thickness for your insulation compared with fibreglass?
- Is the insulation equivalent to 200mm (8 inches)?
- Is the floor insulated as well as the walls?
- Is the roof insulated as well as the walls?
- How many double power sockets and lights will you provide as standard?
- I want a "real room" feel, not a shed feel, so are your walls properly plastered and painted internally?
- If we leave you just a cleared area at the bottom of our garden, is that enough or do you require us to provide a slab first or do anything else?
- How long will the building guaranteed for?
- If we move and decide to take it with us, can you relocate it for us?
- Can you fully install, including a foundations, within 1-2 days?
- When you leave us, will the room be fully ready to use?
In addition to the price, answers to the above questions will give you most of the information you need to make a fully informed decision regarding who is most suitable to supply your garden room.
