With no previous building experience, I've suddenly become a bit of a DIY enthusiast and have been documenting my progress! This channel will start with the build of my Garden Office but will hopefully see many more projects after that.
Thank you for checking out the channel!

Garden Office / Room Build in 10 Minutes from Start To Finish 🛠 // Timelapse
In 2021, I decided to build a garden room to help me work from home but also to have a second living space at the bottom of the garden. I have no experience in building (I work in marketing!), so I had to learn everything from scratch which meant I made a few mistakes along the way. But with the help of other UA-cam videos and a few friends, I was able to pull together my ideal garden room that fits all my needs.
This video is a quick timelapse of the whole 5 month process but if you’re interested in seeing more detail on each step then you can head to this playlist.

Garden Office Build | Insulation, Plastering & Flooring | EP5
Переглядів 4,1 тис.2 роки тому
In this video I’ve gone from a watertight room to almost being finished. The walls are insulated with 75mm PIR insulation which was then covered with a green vapor barrier. I opted to do tape and joint plastering which meant that the vast majority of my plasterboard was the finished surface and it was just the joints between the plasterboard that I plastered. Lastly, I’ve used a 12mm vinyl wood...

Garden Office Build | Rubber roof and fascias | EP3
Переглядів 7 тис.2 роки тому
With the walls up, the next step was to put the roof on. We used 2x6 timbers for the joists and nailed them to the frame with galvanised truss clips. I bought my rubber roof from Rubber4Roofs and it came with everything I needed to install it. To finish the roof off I went for an anthracite PVC fascia to help match the steel cladding I installed in the last episode. First episode: ua-cam.com/vi...
Garden Office Build | Wall construction and cladding installation | EP2
Переглядів 14 тис.2 роки тому
In this episode of my garden office build we’re putting up the walls. My garden is very narrow (just over 3m wide) so we had to install the cladding before erecting the walls as the fencing would stop us from doing this once the walls were up. We used 2x4 timber throughout and ended up screwing everything together as I don’t own a nail gun! We’ve clad the office in anthracite box profile steel ...
Garden Office Build | Foundations & Timber Frame | EP1
Переглядів 55 тис.2 роки тому
When covid lockdown kicked in, I started working from home full time and immediately began dreaming of having my own space rather than working from the dining room table. After following lots of other people's UA-cam videos on garden rooms/workshops/offices, I decided to have a crack myself. In this video we’re focussing on the foundations and the timber frame. We were lucky enough to find an e...
Great video. Was keen to see how you did the door cill. I know this was 2 years ago now but any tips/help with that would be amazing.
You put the packers in wrong as per your diagram
Have you shared your sketch up plans for this? Would be amazing to look at this if at all possible?
Hey Rich great job! I read it was a five month process, obviously this was in your spare time. If you had to guess, how many days work was it?
Dimensions
the room is 4.2 x 3m
This is great, looking back would you have done anything differently?
Thanks! Honestly, nothing major. I learnt that I don't like plastering so I'd look to pay a plasterer next time!
Was the timber 6 x2 or 4 x 2 please? Thanks
4x2 timber
Hi Rich - great videos, really enjoying watching them. Did you make a cost summary video in the end?
Thanks Alex! We didn't in the end. We think it came in at about £6k (~$7.5k) but material costs have increased since!
Hi Rich, Great videos! Thank you for posting . how did you do the corners which are so tight into the corner?
Could do without the muzak
You didn't put dpm down before putting the insulation boards in. If the timber absorbs moisture the insulation boards will be pointless.
Did you use a door cill? I’ve already done my wall framing and didn’t account for a cill, the internet is telling me I need a cill…But hoping I can find a way to do without!
Only thing - I would put ground membrane under the floor frame, so the moisture from ground doesn't affect timber joists.
and weed suppression over the soil
Agreed!
Just looking to take on the same project hopefully it turns out nearly as good 😅
Just watched your series. Going to plan and attempt one my self. Great vids.
How much was it estimated in cost?
Did you use any insect strips to stop bees getting up in the roof. Also is there any ventilation in the roof to allow air to circulate? thanks
Where the cladding and box profile sheets meet how did you butt them together to create weather fit . thanks and good work
This is a great step-by-step video Rich, well done on the build !! Did you ever work out how many hours/days it took you to complete?
Amazing video I am now feeling more confidence for a similar in rear garden
Can any one recommend timber frame for the toilet what is need in additional what Rich put in
Suppppperb amazing thts what I was looking for
Super impressed Rich! With some grit and determination you created a beautiful space! Well done! :-)
Thanks!
how did you connect the wood cladding and the steel cladding? thanks
Hi Rick, the wooden cladding is attached to batons and I just used a thin strip to cover the end that butts up to the steel cladding.
@@richclifford4571 Hi rick. I meant how did the steel sheets and wood cladding butt together to be water proof? Thanks and your vid has been very helpfull so far
Great videos buddy. Curious how you managed to get the cladding on and then lift it and the walls into place? And without a continuous wrapping around of the Tyvek, have you experienced any water ingress at all? Finally, why the need for an office, do you WFH?
Thanks Marcus! It was all done on the floor and then it took 4 of us to lift each wall up and screw them down. The hardest part was putting the corner pieces of cladding on which involved access from the back whilst the fence was still down between me and my neighbour. No water ingress to my knowledge and we've had a lot of rain recently! Yes I work from home so I'm using it for 8/9 hours 3/4 times a week. I couldn't recommend it more as a way to separate work from the house. If we ever move house I'll 100% build another one!
@@richclifford4571 ah that’s interesting, so you might have had to have made it further from the neighbour’s fence if it had still been up? I would love to work from home. I work retail/hospitality and I’m done with it!
how did you create the drop in the flat roof? Lower wall at back ? thanks good vid
Hi Rick, thanks! It's just a higher front wall by 90mm. I then used galvanised truss clips to attach the joists. Much simpler than I thought it would be when first planning
@@richclifford4571 THanks for that. Did you use a 2100 door?
@@recce45 yes! 2050mm to be precise! It was from Screwfix if you're UK based but I've just done a search and it doesn't look like they sell it anymore unfortunately
great video looks amazing. where did you purchase the grey doors from?
Thanks Veronica! I got the doors from Screwfix via a company called Crystal. I just looked and unfortunately they don't stock them anymore. Mine are 2m wide, Anthracite Grey uPVC doors and I did a quick Google and can see a bunch of options :)
@@richclifford4571 aww thanks anyway
Looks nice and well done, what was the size of it, thanks for the share
Thanks Anthony! It's 3.2m wide and 4m deep
Great video again, thank you 😊
This is great thank you. I’m taking on an existing concrete base and extending by a metre. I’m actually building on the site of an existing concrete shed. I’m having because of neighbours leave three sides of the existing walls, add a timber structure to the inside and insulate from there. In theory using the concrete walls as cladding. Fingers crossed I’ll be starting in April 2023!
Using water to suppress dust when cutting with an electric angle grinder? What could possibly go wrong?????
😅 I like to live life on the edge

The state of the audio on this. Didn’t you listen to it?
Awesome project, thank you for sharing the process, Rich. I am planning on building a garden room over the winter and found your videos very informative.
Thanks Tom! Good luck with your build! Doing it over the Winter sounds a little chilly!
Hi. I really like your videos. What is purpose and material of that green sheets you put under the plaster. It looks like plastic.
Hi Rasti, glad you like the videos! It's's a vapour barrier which prevents water vapour from getting through and condensing.
How long did it take you to complete the build?
Hey Kyle, it took about 6 months but that was just doing it on my free weekends. Everything seemed to always take longer than I thought it would!
Much love from Tokyo. You really help me
Thank you Hesham, really appreciate it!
Nice work! By the way, is horizontal roof not so durable as inclined one?
Thanks! I think a flat roof with the rubber membrane is very durable. A pitched roof was never an option for me due to height restrictions. I would have had to get planning permission to have a pitched roof.

Well done on your office. Credit to you it looks nicely finished off.
Thanks Gary!
Great job/collection of videos. A couple of questions spring to mind (for now…): What was the process for getting electric into the building? From your experience to date, have you required any heating in the room?
Thanks John! I'll do my best to answer your questions. 1. I was lucky enough to have electricity already laid down to the end of my garden. If you don't have this already then you'll need to dig a trench and run an armoured cable down the garden. I didn't do any videos on electrics because I didn't feel knowledgeable enough to talk about it but essentially I have a circuit for lights and another for plugs. I then had an electrician sign off all the work I did. 2. Yes, in the winter it does get cold! I have a small 1100W electric heater (www.electricradiatorsdirect.co.uk/haverland-designer-rc-wave-rc7wplus-electric-radiator-anthracite-1100w/?mc_cid=38b5b975f6&mc_eid=14f2740f43) that does the job though. The lowest temperature it got to over the winter was probably -1 or -2 Celsius and for that temperature it took around an hour or 2 to get up to 18 degrees which is my target temp. The insulation is good though and maintains the heat well. In December it cost me £20 for the month to heat and I used it every day in the week for work. I hope some of that info is helpful!
Thanks v much Rich…very helpful. I’m planning ahead to next spring/summer…hoping to build a garden room and a garden shed…I’ll message if I have further questions.
Please do! Good luck!
How much take you cost if that 😊
looks like you did a really good job.
Thank you!
Hi what colour rubber roof kerb trim is that please?
Hello! It's anthracite grey, which matches my door colour :)
Seriously impressive!
Thanks!!
Hey Rich! Great build and great video series! Do you mind telling me where did you get your PVC fascia from? I've been looking around but it's hard to find good suppliers with decent info on their site!
Hi Graham! Thank you! Really appreciate it! Sure, I got mine from direct plastics (www.directplastics.com/upvc-fascia-boards/anthracite-grey-grained-fascia-boards)
Hey Rich! Great videos. I'm in the process of planning for my second garden room build (moved house!) The last one was built in a very similar way to yours, was about 3.5x4.5m but I used very cheap cladding - wont make that mistake again! Just wondering where you bought the steel cladding from? From a few quick Googles, the ones I could find looked quite different to yours and I like your idea of doing this on the sides I can't really see!
Hey Graham, thanks! I bought mine from a company called Bushbury Cladding (www.bushburycladding.co.uk/box-profile-steel-roofing-sheets). Even though I used it on the sides I can't see, I actually really like the look of it and didn't need to hide it so much! I hope the build goes smoothly!
I will watch this everyday till I build on
Hey, it was a very informative and amazing video. This is from Jukin Media we are interested in your video and want to partner with you. Please contact us back so we can discuss more. It's an amazing opportunity to give your video a viral boost and earn revenue out of it. Thank you.
Brilliant job Rich, especially as you're not in the building trade. I'm looking at building something similar (we already have a 3x3m concrete slab so should save a few quid/hours), although will probably use SIPS panels. I'll show this video to 'she that must be obeyed' as a source of inspiration/gentle arm twisting🤣 Once again, very well done mate👍
Thanks Ian, I really appreciate it. I hope this video helps with the convincing! Good luck with the build!
Looks great! What are the dimensions?
Hey Rory, thanks! It's 4.2m long by 3m wide. Basically going as wide as my garden would allow!
