But since last March we have been overwhelmed by the increase in our workload.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, demand has doubled over the period of the pandemic,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Providing much-needed extra space that is energy efficient\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Mark Holden added: &#8220;The bulk of our work is creating and building free-standing garden rooms. As well as providing much-needed extra space, some of our customers tell us this helps them feel they are actually going to the office, because they physically need to walk down the garden to get there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As well as separate garden pods, we build timber frame extensions. It doesn&#8217;t give the same distinction between work and home, but does provide much needed extra space, and of course adds value to the house.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Homeowner David Bayliss, a training manager for a web company, is delighted with his new office.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like most people working from home, as well as space I need privacy in which to carry out my meetings. This new room is ideal. It also means my children have somewhere to go in the evenings, so we don&#8217;t get under each other&#8217;s feet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs well as looking much nicer than the tired conservatory it replaced it&#8217;s a whole lot more energy efficient, thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insulation-actis.com\/products.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Actis insulation<\/a> the builders have chosen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I&#8217;m looking forward to lower heating bills,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<div

When she\u2019s not working hard on cranking out first-class content for our online viewers to enjoy, she\u2019s keeping our social media lively and up to date\u2026 you could call her a social media guru? We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
