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 Somerset 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Garages are designed to complement Somerset's distinctive architectural styles, from historic properties in Wells and Glastonbury to contemporary homes in Taunton and Bridgwater. Since 1909, we've been crafting garages that blend seamlessly with local surroundings. Our designs work particularly well in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) like the Mendip Hills and Quantocks, and complement properties across the Somerset Levels and Moors.

Like many Somerset residents, we're committed to environmental sustainability. Our practices align with Somerset's environmental strategies, particularly important in a county known for its sensitive ecosystems and flood management needs. We source our wood from responsibly managed forests in Northern Sweden, supporting Somerset's environmental goals while ensuring your garage can withstand our unique local conditions.

We understand Somerset's varied architectural heritage. For homes in historic areas like Frome or Dunster, we offer traditional styling with heritage features. For contemporary properties in areas like Yeovil or Street, we can suggest modern door design options. Many Somerset customers choose features that complement local stone buildings, including designs that work well with both Bath stone and Blue Lias limestone common in the region.

Yes, many of our Somerset 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 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and conservation areas. We can provide guidance specific to your location, whether you're in the Mendips, on the Levels, or in Exmoor National Park.

Somerset's varied climate, from the mild conditions of the Levels to the exposed heights of the Mendips, demands robust construction.

Many of our existing garages in Somerset have stood strong for over 50 years, proving their durability in all weather conditions.

We regularly deliver throughout Somerset, from Minehead to Chard and everywhere in between. Our drivers are familiar with both major routes and rural locations, including narrow lanes in the Mendips and access to properties on the Levels. For installation, our experienced team typically completes a double garage within 2 days, working considerately in all conditions. Call us for our latest garage delivery window.

Our garages are engineered specifically for Somerset's diverse weather patterns. We include enhanced protection against damp for properties on the Levels, robust construction for exposed hillside locations, and features designed to handle everything from Atlantic gales to summer heat. Our specially designed ventilation systems and guttering are particularly important in areas prone to high rainfall or morning mists.

Many Somerset customers use their Garages creatively. Popular local conversions include secure storage for farming equipment, home offices for the growing number of remote workers, and hobby spaces. Whether you're in a bustling town like Bath or a quiet village in the Quantocks, our garages can be customised to suit your lifestyle. Some customers create dedicated spaces for cider making equipment or storage for bikes to enjoy the county's extensive cycle network. We've even had customers use their garages as workshops for traditional Somerset crafts or storage for festival equipment - perfect for those involved with Glastonbury Festival and other local events.
