The Pigsty

In many cases, our smaller garden rooms and home office builds fall within permitted development, taking into account their square footage, height and the nature of their use. Our larger builds may require prior permission, we recommend checking with your local planning officer, or get in touch for further information. 

Yes, we can supply technical and 3D visualisation drawings, as well as measurement plans for your chosen build to aid any planning applications and architect meetings. We cannot advise on individual applications but are happy to help with the process.

Yes, we will need the area on which your prefab build will be placed, to be clear of any obstacles (i.e. rocks, trees, shrubs, sheds etc.). 

The same as with a standard garden shed from your local garden centre, any structure needs to be placed on a solid surface to ensure its stability. Whilst our builds come with levelling feet in each corner, the feet will need to land on a solid surface such as crushed hardcore or solid concrete. We recommend putting down a membrane beneath to stop any plants from growing up underneath your build.

We can install our builds on either a flat or gently sloping site area. If your site area slopes a lot then it may need levelling before we can install. As part of the ordering process, we will request photographs of the site area and access point, to assess its suitability and advise on how best to prepare your site ahead of your installation date. If you have any concerns about the viability of your site, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.

Our larger builds are constructed in our workshop and transported to site in either modular sections or as a whole, therefore we require a site access point of the minimum build width. Alternatively, the structure can be craned over fences and other buildings if viable. 

Ideally, we will require parking for at least one van and clear access to the site area. As part of the ordering process, we will request photographs of the site area and access point, to assess its suitability. If you have any concerns about the viability of your site, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.

Our builds are constructed in our workshop and transported in modular sections for installation. In order to manoeuvre the building into place, we ideally need at least 0.5m from any obstacle around the entire structure. This would include locating the garden 0.5m from other buildings, fences, garages or trees etc.

Once ordered, our smaller garden rooms and home offices take up to 8 weeks to arrive. 12 weeks is required for larger builds. Any fully-bespoke builds will be estimated separately. 

As part of the ordering process, you will receive regular updates on the progress of your build. 

Yes, to place your order and secure your installation date, we require a 50% deposit. 25% is required once the building is completed and a final 25% a week prior to delivery. 

All of our builds come with a 10 year structural warranty. Fixtures, fittings and appliances come with accompanying warranties.

We have put together a full range of carefully-considered builds – these have been created based on over a decade of bespoke prefab construction of all sizes and uses, commissioned by our customers. We have taken the most successful builds, selected the best-fit cabinetry, fixtures and fittings, and from this created our ‘off-the-shelf’ offering. 

Within our range, the width, length and height of each build can be altered slightly within the price, to meet your exact requirements and to help with any planning application processes. However, any substantial changes would need to be quoted separately.

In addition to our range, we offer a fully-bespoke service for those who wish to dream up and create a completely unique prefabricated build, which would be quoted accordingly.
