Essex Garden Studios | Bespoke Garden Rooms
What customers say
Essex Garden Studios, based in Birch near Colchester, operates Monday to Saturday from nine in the morning until six in the evening. A recurring point in accounts of the business is punctuality and tidiness on site, with the team said to turn up as planned each day and leave gardens clear of debris throughout a build. Projects mentioned include garden offices with kitchen and living areas, cedar-clad studios, and a bespoke design attached to an existing garage, with clients describing a planning stage in which layouts were shaped around trees, hedges and awkward corners of a plot. Build quality and cladding finish come up often, with finished rooms described as feeling more like a proper extension than a simple outbuilding. Clear communication is another theme that surfaces repeatedly, including prompt replies to questions and openness about cost implications when a project's scope changed along the way. Flexibility is also noted when clients adjusted ideas partway through construction, apparently without disrupting the agreed completion date, and aftercare once a room was finished has been described as responsive. Several accounts refer to the finished spaces being used across all seasons for work or leisure, pointing to solid insulation. Appointments and enquiries can be arranged during the weekday and Saturday opening hours listed above.

A great expirience with Chris and the team. From helping with the design to managing all aspects of the build, deliveries and land shaping aspects I am very pleased with the end result. Chris and Robbie did an awesome job with my garden room. Them and all of the various tradesman were polite, helpful, on time and delivered a very high standard of work. I would highly recommend.
We couldn’t be more thrilled with the garden office Chris built for us! From start to finish, the entire project was handled with professionalism, creativity, and a real eye for detail. The craftsmanship is top-notch—solid construction, clean lines, and high-quality materials that blend beautifully with the natural surroundings. What we love most is how thoughtfully the space was designed. It’s not just a shed with a desk—it’s a fully functional, insulated workspace that feels light, airy, and inspiring. Chris and Robbie were a pleasure to work with—punctual, communicative, and hard working. They listened carefully to our ideas and brought them to life Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-built garden office. Worth every penny
Chris and Tom did a superb job in building our garden studio space and in very little time at all considering the project also included landscaping of the surrounding area. The build was conducted very efficiently and respectfully of those at home, our neighbours and local traffic. The quality of the final finish is exceptional. They work hard and do things properly. I strongly recommend them if you are considering a new garden building project in the Colchester area.
We love our new garden office. Chris was excellent with his communication throughout the build. Highly recommend
Chris has been brilliant, patient, efficient and professional at all stages. I have a perfect studio in my garden which is my sewing room. He gave me a start date, told me how long he would be and delivered, I couldn’t have asked for more. I absolutely love the end product, finished to a high standard. All I can say is highly recommended, and thanks !
Wonderful, efficient, beautiful! Chris was amazing. He was helpful from the beginning of the process, helping us choose the right option for our home. He was very responsive (which is so rare in this industry) and kept things simple. He communicated any changes quickly allowing us to progress quickly. The project was completed in a month (despite the cold and the rain) and our garden room is simply beautiful. We can't wait to use it now and it certainly has increased the value of our property. I highly highly recommend working with Chris and his team (Erin was fantastic!). You are guaranteed a smooth experience with a beautiful end product of very high quality.
It was a great experience from start to finish. The design was bespoke and attached to our garage. We had good advice on how to spec the building in a way that met our needs and balanced cost and practicality. The build went well and complexities arising during the build were discussed and resolved. There was transparency on any impact on costs. Overall, we were very pleased with the whole process and delighted with the end result.
