Booth garden studio

Hi everyone (well at least those of you that look at this thread)

I'm looking at getting a garden studio for extra space at home and I'm drawn to Booth garden studios - has anyone any experience of dealing with these chaps as they look to be at the top of their game from the looks of their website but as website can be deceiving I'm looking for your help.

Well I've jumped in at the deepish end and ordered a 15ft x 9ft with the front being 2no picture windows and a single tilt window for ventilation.

Installation date is the 7th April and should be completed by the 8th including a few modifications to the electrics.

Looks interesting - photos/video when it's done please

Hopefully the weather will be good enough for me to set up a camera and create a time lapse video.

The chap that runs the company has been so helpful over the weekend and incredibly patient with my request for tweaks to the specification.

He has a great website which keeps it simple with no smoke and mirrors that you get with so many sites that offer a similar product plus no payment is made until the project is complete.

Follow the link to a few photos showing the installation - completed in a just under two days with me taking another few to do the paint work inside.

Looks good, how much extra are things like the doors and air conditioning? Either the mobile website doesn't show it or I'm just being dense

Normally this would have had the door on the front with the remaining ones being 6'x3' so I swapped the design around putting the door on the side and adding two 6'x6' picture windows with the remaining 6'x3' window being a tilt version - I also added the air con and and two extra double sockets one of which was fitted into the floor. Overall it came in at just over £15k - they use an excel spreadsheet with all the options on to which for every picture window added you take away the single windows to get an accurate cost.
