We are so pleased with our garden room. It has given us a defined work space, an extra living space in the summer and a large amount of much needed storage. Chris and his team did a great job, listened to what we needed and gave great advice, we would highly recommend!

Garden office & storage unit
This bespoke garden office was designed for a client who urgently needed a separate space to use as a home office during the COVID-19 lockdowns. As the client lived in a terraced house with a converted loft and rear extension, they were struggling with a lack of storage space. To address this, we created a beautiful and practical storage unit that matched the garden office’s specifications. The unit included double-opening secret doors and custom shelves to keep items organised.
In addition to the storage unit, we created a stunning path using our expertise in resin-bound paving. This was the ideal solution to overcome the level differences and provide a ramped surface, as the client preferred this over steps. As far as we are aware, we are currently the only garden room company that offers this service.
At Essex Garden Studios, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide bespoke designs that meet our clients’ unique needs and exceed their expectations. From practical storage solutions to stunning paths, we offer a wide range of services to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of our garden rooms.

Wendy C2024-03-10Chris has been brilliant, patient, efficient and professional at all stages. I have a perfect studio in my garden which is my sewing room. He gave me a start date, told me how long he would be and delivered, I couldn’t have asked for more. I absolutely love the end product, finished to a high standard. All I can say is highly recommended, and thanks !Laetitia Pancrazi2024-02-13Wonderful, efficient, beautiful! Chris was amazing. He was helpful from the beginning of the process, helping us choose the right option for our home. He was very responsive (which is so rare in this industry) and kept things simple. He communicated any changes quickly allowing us to progress quickly. The project was completed in a month (despite the cold and the rain) and our garden room is simply beautiful. We can't wait to use it now and it certainly has increased the value of our property. I highly highly recommend working with Chris and his team (Erin was fantastic!). You are guaranteed a smooth experience with a beautiful end product of very high quality.Lou81 E2024-01-14We are so pleased with our garden room.

Chris and his team did a great job, listened to what we needed and gave great advice, we would highly recommend!Neil Ashby2024-01-10It was a great experience from start to finish. The design was bespoke and attached to our garage. We had good advice on how to spec the building in a way that met our needs and balanced cost and practicality. The build went well and complexities arising during the build were discussed and resolved. There was transparency on any impact on costs. Overall, we were very pleased with the whole process and delighted with the end result.James Kew2024-01-10I contacted Chris about this time last year. He attended promptly and gave a reasonable quote. Accepted and the garden studio was built in time for the sunshine. Had a great summer making use of our new garden room. Serving a dual purpose of both convenient work space and garden room for the benefit family, it has proven to be a valuable addition to the house. Tidy, friendly and considerate during build. Highly recommend.Martin Harris2023-04-18Fantastic build quality, whole team were brilliant and courteous. Built in good time and we now have a fantastic bar/studio. Would have no hesitation in recommending this company.Andras Zoltan2022-06-21If you want a studio built, then you should get Essex Garden Studios to build it. Everything was easy from start to finish (I basically had to do nothing!), the process was quicker than I expected it to be and - more importantly - the result was exactly how I imagined it would look. You cannot go wrong with these guys.James M2022-03-07Great experience from start to finish. Extremely happy with the end result and competitive price. Chris & team were fantastic, worked quickly and efficiently and were extremely helpful with the planning before hand. Would happily recommend Essex Garden Studios to anyone looking for external studio/office/social space.Michael Lambe2021-06-02I would highly recommend Essex Garden Studios. The quality of the product is incredibly high with the final outcome certainly closer to an extension than a garden room, and something we will be able to use all year round. Clad in beautiful looking Cedar, Chris worked with us to design the room into the corner of our garden, working around some existing trees and hedges to maximise use of space . Chris was on-site promptly ever day and got the build completed in line with schedule. With Chris and James being so polite and hard working, it made the build time fly by with minimal disruption.Mark Phillips2021-05-01Fantastic quality build of our cedar clad garden room from Chris and James and a pleasure to work with. Kept me informed of process throughout and everything was on time despite some unexpected issues that emerged during the build which they dealt with v well. Finish is excellent, top quality cedar cladding. Highly recommended.
