Shortlands homeowners value quiet streets and fast commutes from Shortlands station, so a dedicated garden office is a natural upgrade. Fine Landscaping creates high-performance garden buildings that feel like a real room, not a shed. Expect proper insulation, neat finishes and smart layouts for video calls, storage and natural light. We work across BR2, including nearby Bromley and Beckenham.
The Shortlands area features large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-kept 1930s properties, each with different garden proportions and access routes. We design to suit long side returns, mature planting and existing patios, keeping disruption low. Whether you need a compact studio or a larger multi-use office/gym, we tailor the footprint and height to your plot. Our garden offices Shortlands area clients choose often include acoustic upgrades for busy households.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear design proposal, then manage foundations, structure, electrics, heating and final fit-out. You’ll get practical planning advice, transparent timelines and a tidy, respectful team on site. Security and sound proofing are built in from the start, not bolted on later. Local homeowners trust us for consistent communication and a finish that matches the standard of their home.
In Shortlands we often work around mature trees, level changes and established patios, so foundations are specified to suit the ground and load. Access can be tight on some roads near St Mary’s Church, and parking needs planning for deliveries and waste removal. We also consider neighbour boundaries and sightlines typical of Edwardian and 1930s plots. Our garden offices in London Borough of Bromley are designed to meet local expectations on finish and durability.

Costs vary with size, specification and access, but most Shortlands projects fall between £12,000–£35,000. A compact, well-insulated office with electrics typically starts around £12,000–£18,000, while larger bespoke designs with heating, upgraded glazing, sound proofing and higher-end finishes can reach £25,000–£35,000+. Groundworks, foundations and long cable runs can also influence the budget.
Most builds take around 2–6 weeks from start on site, depending on the size and complexity. Simple insulated buildings with standard finishes can be completed in 2–3 weeks, while bespoke layouts, extensive glazing, sound proofing and custom joinery may take 4–6 weeks. Timescales are also affected by foundations, drainage considerations, access for materials, and lead times for doors, windows and specialist electrics.
Many garden offices can be built under permitted development, provided they meet rules on height, placement, and how much of the garden is covered. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, flats, properties in conservation areas, or where previous extensions have altered permitted development rights. We provide planning advice, check the key constraints for Bromley, and can recommend a lawful development certificate where extra reassurance is sensible.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering the core build, including structure and workmanship, giving you confidence your garden office will perform long term. We also supply manufacturer warranties on specified components such as doors, windows, insulation products and electrical fixtures where applicable. Our team builds with proper foundations, weatherproofing and ventilation to reduce future issues. Any snagging is handled promptly and professionally after completion.
You can choose from a range of cladding and finish options, including timber, composite boards and contemporary rendered looks, with flat or dual-pitch roof styles. Inside, popular choices include plastered walls, acoustic panels for sound proofing, and built-in storage or desk runs. We can specify secure doors, upgraded glazing and heating solutions to match how you’ll use the space. We’ll guide you through options to suit your home’s style and budget.
