Comments

Overall we were very pleased with the customer service we received. We felt that your designer Steve was clearly very keen to secure our business but managed to do this without being overly pushy. We were pleased with how flexible the initial stages of design were in terms of designing the building exactly to our size requirements and including a side gate and fence plus changing elements to fit our budget. Steve really gave the impression that he wanted to get it right for us and we appreciated his patience and hard work. During the build, the building team on site handled everything brilliantly. The snagging items were dealt with quickly at the end as well.
We were extremely impressed with the installation team. They were exceptionally hard working, very clear in their communication and very skilled. They were also very friendly and easy to work with. We can't speak more highly of them.

Summary

Installing of permanent garden studio is a great use of space and a sound investment. The Sharps approached Garden Spaces to discuss such a project, needing office space from which to run their business. Our designer conducted a free site survey and drew up proposed designs and costings which after a few iterations they were very happy with. A notable feature of this design is the integral cedar fence to one side of the office, designed to partition off the bottom section of the garden to create a useful out-of-site place for recycling bins etc.

Details
