The team at garden retreat were very professional and helpful from the start of planning our project.
They went out of their way to help us plan and prepare for the arrival of our studio.
On installation day we very very impressed with the speed the building went up. It was finished to a high standard and having used it now for a few months we can still find no fault.
I would thoroughly recommend using garden retreats for your project.

Garden Retreat designed a building that met my needs perfectly. The team that arrived to put the thing up were fast and clean and did a great job. More importantly, James has been on hand to instantly deal with any snagging that came up afterwards (very minor things that we spotted after the build). The result is a beautifully solid workshop and a stress free process throughout.

We had an excellent experience working with James. From the initial consultation & planning, through to the installation itself, aftercare and communication, everything worked well and was delivered smoothly. Pricing was competitive and we’re delighted with the result which now allows utilisation of what was previously a very difficult to maintain section of garden. All in all a great investment and addition to our home.

We are absolutely delighted with our garden room and with the amazing advice and support we have received from James Parker. At every step of the way he has guided and informed the decision making process whilst never attempting to impose. He managed the whole process from our first enquiry (with great patience as we revised our thoughts), and was still visiting to check things were ok well after completion. We have no hesitation in recommending James and his company.

Excellent product, service and value. From start to finish the project was discussed, agreed and delivered in accordance with my requirements and expectations on time, quality and price. The installation went without a hitch and was completed in just over 1/2 a day. No mess, no fuss just a happy customer. I would absolutely recommend Garden Retreat and should any similar future projects arise I shan't again spend numerous hours researching which company to employ. If quality and value are important to you I implore you to look no further than this review and give Jim a call now.

Efficient, professional service from start to finish - final construction done in a morning.
The inside and outside of the Garden Retreat are left "raw" so that you can decorate to your own personal taste. Very pleased with James Parker's work and helpful advice throughout. He worked in tandem with the groundwork and electrician teams, explaining exactly what was required.

My daughter's decision to use Garden Retreat for her new home office was a really good one. I was involved at the installation stage as she was working abroad. James invested a considerable amount of time in helping to design a bespoke product, which included liaising with a specialist window company. He was on site on many occasions before construction started, liaising with a local builder who was building the base and checking the dimensions of the brickwork when it was finished. Nothing was left to chance. He communicated very well and paid a lot of attention to detail. He went out of his way to get some unusual materials for finishing the interior to give an aesthetically pleasing appearance and he installed these himself. He used a local plasterer and electrician and they both did a good job and he supervised them well.The finished product exceeded my expectations.

We recently had a really lovely home working area / garden room installed in our little garden and we are delighted . The room has not only enhanced our home but has made our garden feel part of our house .
James did everything he said he would do, at every stage was punctual and easy to communicate with.
The construction was straight forward and is of a high quality , totally sound proofed and warm and cosy . The cedar stain enhanced the look of the exterior and we got the inside painted which was a great add on .
We already spend significant time using it and it was such a great decision to give us space without any hassle .

We chose Garden Retreat to install a stand-alone custom garage build in the summer of 2020. Having researched various local options we decided to use James and his team because of the customisable choices with the size of the building, and the different finishes available. We chose the cedar door and roof options with a feathered-edge cladding and the end result is great. From the start of the project right through to the end there was no delay in communications and answers to the many questions we had were answered promptly. The building itself went up very quickly and we are pleased with the quality and sturdiness of the garage. Thanks again and we have already recommended the team to friends and family.

We have found the Garden Retreat team easy to work with - they are clear as to what will be provided in their building and their team members are friendly and hard working.
We changed the design during the process, and they discussed the details and continued to adjust their quote, to ensure that the correct specification was being provided for the building's needs.
The final product - a meeting room in a community garden - was delivered, and we are pleased with the result. The quality of finish is high, and all of the work was completed to a very good standard.

We are very pleased with our garden room, working with James Parker from my initial email for a quote through all the planning of the nitty gritty details and to completion was very easy. He always responded promptly, either by email or phone call. He was very supportive when we were having trouble with builders getting the base ready. We went and viewed one in Bournemouth prior to committing which was very helpful.

Garden Retreat supplied and installed a 10x6m timber framed garage for me in 2016 and I am as happy with it now as I was then. I contacted James Parker again in 2019 for an extension and he supplied me with elevation drawings and the design for planning purposes. I then reduced the size of the extension and that warranted the use of local labour to build the extension. James nevertheless offered to supply the build materials to match the existing build.
Garden Retreat has supported me throughout with a high level of customer support. As I said in my 2016 review the finished product is of a high quality and appearance.
