Groundworks up

Garden Room Builders in Oxford

A garden building is groundworks, carpentry, roofing, glazing, electrics, plastering and landscaping. Oxford Builders Ltd carries all of those in-house — which is why an awkward garden is a design problem rather than a delay.

What we take on

From the trench to the final coat

Most garden room problems start below ground or in the cable run — the two parts a kit supplier subcontracts. Here they are ours.

Garden buildings

Garden offices

Insulated year-round workspaces with armoured power and wired data, generally within permitted development.

Garden stores and workshops

Secure, dry, insulated storage and workshop space where the brief is practical rather than habitable.

Groundworks and services

Bases and foundations

Reinforced slabs or pile and beam, designed for the ground rather than copied from the last job.

Drainage

Foul connections for annexes and shower rooms, surface water and soakaways, and diversions where a run crosses the footprint.

Power and data

Armoured supply from a dedicated way in the consumer unit, a board in the building, and data cable in the same trench.

Around the building

Landscaping and paths

Patios, paths and steps up to the door, and making good the garden after the groundworks.

Extensions and loft conversions

Where a garden building is not the answer, Oxford Builders Ltd extends and converts as well.

Renovations, kitchens and bathrooms

The wider building work the company carries out across Oxford and Oxfordshire.

Access first

How we get a digger to the bottom of your garden

It sounds like a detail. It is frequently the thing that decides the price. A garden with a side gate wide enough for a mini excavator is a straightforward job. A garden reached only through the kitchen is a different proposition entirely.

There are answers for both — smaller plant, barrowing, protecting a route through the house — but they change the labour and therefore the quote. So we look at access on the first visit, before talking about cladding or glazing.

  • Access assessed at survey
  • Bases designed for the ground
  • Notifiable electrics certified
  • Permitted development confirmed first
  • Garden made good afterwards
