The new studio build.

Chris Billington ~ The New Studio ~ Build 1

My brief was a studio that was simple in design but one that would maximise the space on a gently sloping piece of ground in the corner of my garden.

I decided on a timber build and after much research settled on a London based company to carry out the project.

The build is faultless, everything from the heavily constructed and concreted in base through to the insulated roof has been constructed with care and precision. All timber is pressure treated and the cavity walls are fully insulated, as is the roof and floor, which is complete with DPC. The hardwood double glazed anti UV reflective ‘A’ rated windows are first class and naturally the building has a warm feel.

The studio is set back further from my original workspace in the house but the view of the estuary and boatyard is still good and by the way, the flooring that you can see in the photo’s is a cushion floor which I have put in, underneath which is a wooden floor.

Part constructed in the workshop, my new studio, platform and decking was built on site in 8 days.

If you are in need of a wooden building I cannot recommend Shane highly enough, he is professional, polite, and a complete expert with wood, furthermore he will work anywhere in the UK and even in Northern France. As for value for money, nobody came anywhere near him in terms of price, and to top it all the building and workmanship are fully guaranteed for 2 years. The only drawback is that due to word of mouth he is always busy and you will have to wait a few months for your building but I would be most happy to pass on any genuine enquiries.
