Building Specification

The Winchester Work Room and Hobby Room range is based on a sectional design. They range from 3.05m to 4.9m wide and 4.9m to 7.0m deep. The sectional design allows you to position doors and windows were required and are specified at the point of order.

The Winchester Work Room and Hobby Room range comes with a large choice of doors and windows in either timber or uPVC. Please see ‘Additional Options’ tab below.

The Winchester Work Room and Hobby Room comes with a pitched roof and comes with a heavy-duty green felt roof. The ridge height is circa 2.8m to 3.5m (depending on size with a 20-degree room) but can be reduced to 2.5m to the ridge to satisfy planning rules. We can also provide this building with a Mono roof if required, please do not hesitate to discuss with our staff if required.

If the standard sizes are not suitable, we can manufacture the Work Room and Hobby Room to suit the size you require. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The Work Room and Hobby Room is constructed using 1 1/2″ x 3″ (38mm x 75mm) selected framing. The framework is built and clad with 16mm nominal x 125mm tanalised shiplap cladding on the exterior, providing you with a 25-year rot resistant finish.

The floor has a 15mm plywood finish and sits onto 1 1/2″ x 3″ (38mm x 75mm) tanalised floor joists. As an additional option the floor can be insulated with 75mm Celotex underneath the plywood.

Roof Construction

The standard roofing is a heavy duty 38kg Green Mineral Felt onto 12mm moisture resistant O.S.B. Boarding. The boarding is fitted onto 50mm x 125mm joists (purlins), spaced at 2′ centres. We can provide alternative roof coverings (please see options below). Should you require Onduline roof sheets – please note, we recommend sterling board underneath, because without the boarding it is liable to condensate during the winter.

Should you wish to upgrade the roofing for cosmetic reasons or to increase the time between maintenance, we offer the following options.

Coloured Polyester Felt – This is available in the same colours as our Felt Tiles (Brown & Grey) and has a life expectancy of about 15 years. Please note this is only available on buildings up to 7m in length.

Metal Profile Roofing. – This has a metal profile roof in black or anthracite grey and comes with a water proof under felt.

Black Onduline Roofing. – This has a corrugated profile and is compressed felt & bitumen, giving a life expectancy of 15 years. The standard colour is black, although other colours are available. Onduline has the benefit of offering a clear roof sheet to allow light, however we recommend sterling board is fitted on the roof before the Onduline to prevent condensation.

Felt Tile Roof. – These are sheets of felt that have a profile of 4 individual tiles within the sheet. They overlap each other and are staggered to provide a tiled effect roof. In addition to the tiles, underlay felt is laid over the boarding beforehand to provide a secondary skin. Angled tin and additional felt strips are fitted to the gables to prevent water ingress, thus providing a life expectancy of over 15 years.

Cedar tiles – These make a beautiful addition to any of our buildings, long lasting and they are set out on battening with under felt

Tapco Slate tiles. – These tiles have a life expectancy of 50 years and look fantastic as a lightweight replacement slate tile, follow the link to find out more about ‘Tapco Slate’

Tiled Roof Option. – Should you require a tiled roof for planning reasons, we would be able to provide and fit the roof trusses (at 600mm centres) with a 30 degree pitch. We clad the gable ends for you, and fit the trusses in place, however a local tiler will need to batten & tile the roof, plus fit the soffits & guttering.

For further details & prices, please contact us

Guttering

Not only do overhangs improve the appearance of the Work & Hobby Rooms, they are important as they offer protection to the sides of the buildings. We include guttering as standard in either brown or black to allow rainwater to be easily collected and re-used, along with the obvious protective benefits.

Electrics

Electrics can be provided by Garden Retreat, if you require a quote please do not hesitate to contact us.

  • Standard Overhangs – 300mm to the front and sides, 150mm to the rear when the doors are in the gable ends. 300mm to the front and back, 150mm to the gable ends when the garage doors are under the eaves.  The guttering would be in addition to this.  Overhangs can be adjusted if required, for example space restrictions.

  • 2.5m High Garages – the garages are designed to be over 2.5m high, if the building needs to be 2.5m to the ridge height the sections are smaller, and the pitch of the roof is more shallow. Buildings with trusses bigger than 4.2m will require structural partitions to support the centre trusses.

Delivery

All our buildings included delivery and installation although please contact us for delivery prices if you are located in Cornwall or Scotland.

All our buildings are installed buy our fully trained crews who have many years of experience.

Our installation crews will require clear access free from obstacles, trees, vegetation, overhead cables from the delivery vehicle to the site where the building will be erected.

They will also require 400mm clearance around the building to allow your building to be erected safely with clearance suitable for ladders and steps. If there is less than 400mm please contact us to discuss the options.

Sections can be as large as 3.0m x 2.4m hence we will need to know of any obstacles, bends or height restrictions before manufacture takes place.

Delivery & installation takes place on the same day via a 7.5 tonnes lorry – 28 feet long x 8ft wide.

A majority of buildings are installed within a single day, however larger garden offices, triple garages and commercial units will require more days on site. We will indicate the estimated assembly time at the time of order.

We will require a postcode for the site address and sufficient parking on the day of delivery to allow the installation crew to park as close to the site as possible.

Should your site be further than 30m from the parking location, please contact us prior to manufacture to ensure that we can deliver and install safely.

Please note that on some occasions we can take sections of buildings through the house but there is a surcharge to do so as the sections need to be made smaller and we require more staff on site to carry the sections through the house.

If you have any questions or queries concerning delivery and installation please do not hesitate to contact us.
