Shirley homeowners are choosing garden offices to gain space for work, study or a side business without sacrificing a bedroom. Whether you’re near Shirley Windmill or close to Addington Hills, we design buildings that look smart and feel comfortable in every season. Each build is insulated, secure and ready for fast broadband. You get a dedicated room that separates work from home life.
The Shirley area includes plenty of 1930s semis, detached houses and newer developments, often with generous rear gardens. We plan layouts to suit narrower side access, existing patios and mature planting, common around CR0. If you’re in Addiscombe or heading towards West Wickham, we’ll match the style of your property and garden. Our bespoke approach keeps the office practical without overpowering the outdoor space.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear design proposal covering foundations, insulation, electrics and heating. You’ll get straightforward planning advice and we liaise on any requirements before work begins. Our team keeps the site tidy, protects lawns and paths, and agrees working hours that suit you. Local homeowners trust us for consistent workmanship, detailed finishes and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, gardens can vary from level lawns to sloping plots, especially nearer Addington Hills. We specify the right foundations for ground conditions and manage drainage so the building stays stable and dry. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. For CR0 homes, we also design around existing garages, outbuildings and mature borders to minimise disruption.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs for garden offices in Shirley typically range from £12,000–£25,000 for a compact, well-insulated room with electrics, with larger bespoke designs often £25,000–£45,000+. Price depends on size, insulation level, glazing, heating type, sound proofing, security upgrades and the complexity of foundations or access. After a site survey, we provide a detailed, itemised estimate so you can compare options confidently.
Most builds take around 2–6 weeks from breaking ground to completion, depending on size and specification. Simpler designs with straightforward access and standard finishes can be quicker, while bespoke layouts, extra sound proofing, complex foundations or extensive electrical/heating requirements add time. Lead times for doors, glazing and cladding can also affect the schedule. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the survey and design sign-off.
Many garden offices in London Borough of Croydon can be built under permitted development, provided they meet limits on height, placement and garden coverage, and are used as an incidental space to the home. However, rules can vary for flats, listed buildings, conservation considerations, or if you want a bathroom or business use with visitors. We give planning advice, check constraints, and recommend a lawful development certificate where sensible.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and build quality, including the structure and installed elements we supply and fit. This includes issues such as faulty installation, water ingress caused by our detailing, or defects in finishes related to our work. Manufacturer warranties also apply to specific products like doors, windows, cladding or heaters. We explain what’s covered in writing and offer aftercare support if anything needs attention.
We offer bespoke designs with popular options including composite or timber cladding, contemporary aluminium doors, large glazing panels, and a choice of roof finishes. Inside, you can choose plastered walls, acoustic panels for sound proofing, durable flooring, and integrated storage or desks. Heating options include panel heaters or electric underfloor systems, and we plan lighting and data points for internet-ready working. We’ll guide you to the best mix for budget, style and performance.
