Garden Office Falkirk

A garden office is an additional workspace that acts as an extension to your house.

Usually found in the back garden close to the main house, garden offices are an increasingly popular option in Falkirk for individuals doing a wide range of jobs from different occupations.

A garden office suits not only those working remotely, but also as a base for startups and small businesses.

The installation and running costs, compared to the equivalent rented space elsewhere, makes them a cost-effective option.

Building one could be the ideal solution if other options – an extension, loft conversion or moving home – are ruled out.

Garden Room Sanctuary can design a garden office space in Falkirk tailored entirely to your needs, or you can pick from our range of existing models if it is more convenient.

As standard, every piece of wood we use is sourced sustainably and quality-tested before installation by a member of our professional fitting team.

Our garden offices in Falkirk are clad with a heat-treated timber that is resilient to damage, unaffected by a demanding and changing British climate and blends in with its surroundings in any garden.

Can I have a kitchen in my garden office?

If you want a garden office in Falkirk that is truly self-contained, then a small kitchen can help you achieve exactly that.

Be mindful of how much space you need, and what impact a kitchen will have on your project.

Should you be working from home the whole time, then incorporating a small kitchen where you can make a cup of tea without having to return to the house is a tempting possibility.

We recommend confirming with your local planning authority in Falkirk before proceeding because rules on permitted development prohibit an outbuilding from being used as self-contained living accommodation.

In some areas, installing a kitchen or shower to your garden office could impact its classification.

Adding them will increase the cost of the garden building installation project, in some cases significantly.

One option is to connect the garden office to an existing main water supply and sewerage system, which would need considerable groundwork.

Every design in the Garden Room Sanctuary range can be customised with a wide variety of additions at competitive prices.

We appreciate you need to feel comfortable in a space you will spend a lot of time, which is why we offer flexibility to have a kitchenette from the start.

Can I get Wi-Fi in my garden office?

You may crave a workspace away from distractions in the house, but that doesn’t mean you want to be disconnected from the world outside. However, fitting a garden office in Falkirk can help with that.

Garden Room Sanctuary’s electrics package for garden offices doesn’t include cabling to enable internet access as standard, but we are happy to incorporate it into any design as an optional extra.

If you’re installing an electric supply in your garden building, then we recommend running an ethernet cable alongside that connects to a modem inside your garden office.

We won’t connect it to the mains power supply, and instead, recommend you to hire a local electrician to do exactly that.

Depending on where your garden office is situated, it might be possible to connect to your wireless home network.

However, if the distance is too great between your house and the garden office, then you may not get a good internet signal.

Even if is not, the wall insulation may reduce the signal strength and in turn prevent a connection from functioning as well as you would like.

A Wi-Fi extender is a cost-effective remedy and is a piece of kit that does exactly as described by connecting to your existing network.

It acts as a hotspot between the main router in the house and your garden room.

They are effective over distances of less than 30m, and you may need more than one if you are working further away.

We conduct a site survey to look at your property and garden size.

As part of the survey, we can consider your internet requirements and recommend a solution.
