Our skilled craftsmen only use ethically sourced timber from Northern Sweden. For every tree that is harvested, two more are planted, ensuring the forests are never depleted. So you know that your timber garage is not just great value but also built with the environment in mind. 

We are proud to have achieved certification under the Forest Stewardship Council ® Chain of Custody Scheme (FSC® Licence Code FSC-C013961) which means that all timber we buy from Stenvalls, our principle Swedish supplier, and garages we build can be traced back to certified, sustainable forests. Look for our FSC® - certified products.

We are also one of the very few timber manufacturers covering Northumberland that is clear and transparent with our pricing. On this website, you can find a cost for your garden building or view our detailed price list here.

Like many Northumberland residents, we're passionate about protecting our natural environment.

We source our wood from responsibly managed forests in Northern Sweden, supporting Northumberland's environmental goals while ensuring your garage can withstand our robust northern climate.

We understand Northumberland's varied architectural heritage. For homes in historic areas like Hexham or Corbridge, we offer traditional styling with heritage features. For contemporary properties in areas like Morpeth or Cramlington, we can suggest modern door design options. Many Northumberland customers choose features that complement local stone buildings, and we offer enhanced weather protection particularly suited to exposed coastal areas like Amble and Newbiggin-by-the-Sea.

Yes, many of our Northumberland customers successfully build their own garages using our ready-to-build kits, saving up to 12% on costs. Each kit comes with clear instructions and all necessary parts. We understand local planning considerations, particularly important in the Northumberland National Park, the Coast AONB, and historic market towns. We can provide guidance specific to your location, whether you're on the coast or in the Cheviot Hills.

Northumberland's demanding climate, with its exposure to North Sea weather and strong winds, requires exceptionally robust construction. Our slow-grown timber is specially treated to handle the harshest conditions, from summer heat to severe winter storms and salt-laden air. Many of our existing garages in Northumberland have stood strong for over 50 years, proving their durability in some of Britain's most challenging weather.

We regularly deliver throughout Northumberland, from Ponteland to Wooler and everywhere in between. Our drivers are experienced with both coastal routes and rural locations, including remote farms and hill country access. For installation, our experienced team typically completes a double garage within 2 days, working considerately in all conditions and mindful of local access requirements.

Our online pricing tool lets you design your perfect garage while considering local factors like planning requirements and typical Northumberland property styles. Once you've explored options, we can provide a detailed quote that includes delivery to your specific Northumberland location.

Popular local conversions include secure storage for outdoor and hiking equipment - perfect for exploring the Cheviots, home offices for remote workers, and hobby spaces. Whether you're in a market town or a remote rural location, our garages can be customised to suit your lifestyle. Some customers create dedicated spaces for farming equipment or storage for bikes to enjoy the Coast and Castles cycle route. We've even had customers create workshops for traditional crafts or storage for dark sky astronomy equipment - ideal for taking advantage of Northumberland's International Dark Sky Park status.
