Homebuilding & Renovating on heating your garden office

Working from home has changed and for many of us that means turning a shed into a proper place to work. This latest feature from Homebuilding & Renovating is a brilliantly honest guide to doing it properly, covering everything from insulation and heating to electrics and finishing touches.

We were delighted to contribute to the heating and ventilation section, where Nick Duggan explains why getting your heat output right matters just as much as choosing the right heater in the first place. As Nick explains, “A smaller, well-insulated office will need a vastly different heat output to a larger office with bi-fold doors or sliding patio doors, so it’s worth doing the sums before you buy rather than guessing.” It’s a timely reminder that a garden office is only as comfortable as its heating plan, and that a little calculation now saves a lot of shivering (or sweltering) later.
