For over a century, Passmores has been crafting timber garages, carriage houses, pavilions and sheds that stand the test of time. We combine traditional British craftsmanship with responsibly sourced materials to create timber frame garages and buildings for homes throughout Harlow and Essex.

We're proud to serve not just Harlow itself, but the surrounding communities too - places like Old Harlow, Roydon, Sawbridgeworth, Epping, and North Weald.

Since 1909, we've built a reputation that speaks for itself: expertly-crafted timber frame buildings that last for generations. Every structure we create meets the highest standards of quality, and we take genuine pride in that heritage.

Our range includes timber clad wooden garages, carriage houses, open barn garages, sports pavilions, equestrian buildings, garden sheds, workshops and chalets. Over the decades, we've grown to become one of the UK's leading timber garden buildings manufacturers, supplying Harlow homes with everything from practical storage sheds to elegant oak-fronted carriage houses that truly enhance a property.

The beauty of what we do lies in the flexibility. Want natural slate tiles for your garage roof? Prefer an open barn with single, double or triple bays? We can make it happen. Every project is different, and we rather like it that way.

Our timber garages have found homes throughout Harlow and beyond - incuding Basildon, Braintree, Brentwood, Chelmsford, Clacton-on-Sea, Colchester, Grays, Raleigh, Southend-on-Sea, Canvey Island, Benfleet, Grays, Thurrock, Stanford-le-Hope, Bishop's Stortford, Epping, Broxbourne, Stansted Mountfitchet, Hoddesdon, Waltham Abbey, Ongar, and Nazeing.

All our timber frame buildings are designed in-house and hand-made in our factory in Rochester, Kent.

Timber Garages Made from Ethically-Sourced Wood

Timber Garages Made from Ethically-Sourced Wood

Our craftsmen work exclusively with ethically sourced timber from Northern Sweden. Here's something we think is important: for every tree that's harvested, two more are planted. The forests are never depleted, which means your timber garage isn't just great value - it's built with the environment genuinely in mind.

We're certified under the Forest Stewardship Council® Chain of Custody Scheme (FSC® Licence Code FSC-C013961). What does that mean in practice? It means all the timber we buy from Stenvalls, our principal Swedish supplier, can be traced right back to certified, sustainable forests. Look out for our FSC®-certified products.

We're also refreshingly clear about our pricing - something that sets us apart from many timber manufacturers serving Harlow. Right here on this website, you can find a cost for your garden building or view our detailed price list.
