A timeless image of a beautiful timber greenhouse or garden shed set in a lovely garden, surrounded by lush flowers , shrubs or vegetables.

   These structures offer a chance to spend quality time in our garden, time well spent nourishing and being nourished by mother nature. Away from the fast pace of modern life.

    The Evergreen Workshop delights in making and restoring these structures so that you can concentrate on enjoying the garden.

If you are lucky enough to have a garden then a greenhouse, garden room, cosy workshop or perhaps a potting shed that is seperate from the main house can be a wonderful space to explore and discover new interests. these are unique personal places where we can unwind, neuture and even socialise . The evergreen Workshop has created many such buildings or repaired and restored many existing buildings so that they can continue to give that pleasure. 

Maintaining and looking after structures is imporatant and we have many solutions to help.

Something as a simple as a little 6ft by 8ft wide greenhouse will give many, many years service cultivating and nurturing. In time it will suffer in the rain and wind.... so what then? 

Discard and replace...or why not have it restored back to as new.

• No new foundations or bases needed.
• No expensive disposal and installation costs.
• Better for the environment, less waste to landfill and better for your pocket as it is often a far cheaper alternative.

For many once restored the new space can often revive and rejuvenate the passion for the space and the garden.

For many the successes and memories created are part of owning such a stucture. once restored they go on to nurture and create new memories..

The alternative considered for this greenhouse was landfill and replacement.

The glass none of which was broken would have been ground up for aggregate (old glass sheet is very rarely seperated and recycled back to glass. simply added to 'mixed waste' at the waste collection centre) That beautiful Cedar frame would have been shredded and burn't in an industrial incinerator. Fully restored she now stands proud once again to grow and cultivate and for far less than buying a new one.

  But what If you are looking for something special, unique or have an idea of a special building to complement an outdoor space?

  Then we can build that too. Like this bespoke Sitting area and greenhouse for a small sloping back garden.

Once in place then the fun can begin, planting, accesorising, enjoying the space and creating those memories.

From very big and complex structures like this workshop, tractor shed and log store built on an awkward sloping site including a huge new concrete foundation.

To something smaller to fit an existing base. Like this little pool house and changing room which has a  seperate room for the pool cleaning equipment. 

Plus of course, you can have it in any colour you choose.

From practical structures like this tractor shed with covered log stores at either end. Built so that it does not leave a permanent imprint on the forested surrounding. It even has its own solar lighting system.

To this one off barbecue cover designed to perfectly complement the ornate HSP summerhouse it sits alongside

And yes of course we did fully restore the summerhouse with new doors, windows, replaced all the rotting panels and repaired the original poorly installed lead roof.

We can repair and restore almost any greenhouse with our method and we guarantee the work and the greenhouse not for a few weeks or a year or two. Restored back to as new it will have the same life as new, guaranteed.

THis is not simply nailing in a piece of wood from your local DIY retailer and slapping on a coat of thick paint to disguise the repair. There is no 'wood hardener and wood filler' to replace structural timber supports. No spurious claims about products or hardwood timber being used and no vague estimated costs that soon grow.

Comments such as 'All Wooden greenhouses leak a bit, because it is a natural material' are completely false.

We quote, we restore and return and we guarantee that it will not leak or fail

We take the greenhouse down, strip it back to individual timber components before repairing each piece to return the greenhouse to AS NEW. And with a durable finish that is semi transparent the restored greenhouse is ready to start again. No hidden filler or cheap timber repairs that will rot in a few years. It will be strong, it will be durable and best of all it will be easy to maintain..We evenn clean the glass, repaint the benches and we will always be cheaper than a like for like replacement. If not we say so up front and advise accordingly.

• No need to pay to take the old greenhouse down and send it to landfill.​
• No dodgy bodge repair that will last a year or so. The semi transparent finish we use leaves the repairs clearly visble, there is nowhere to hide.
• No expense of a new base and the installation cost for a new greenhouse.
• Your Greenhouse back looking like it was straight out of the factory.

A thirty year old Alton Lean-to Greenhouse that was rotting in the roof and side frames as well as collapsing.

Now back protecting the peach tree on the back wall and significantly cheaper than the £4000 replacement cost quoted.

The Alton Octagonal 8' x 11' Greenhouse with 'Lighthouse roof' fully restored back again to as new.

A fully restored early bespoke three tier greenhouse. The structure had seperate rooms for Peaches and grapes Plus a room for raising seeds and salad crops that once served a large family house.

 A custom Greenhouse and separete potting shed. With Cedar shingles and ridge cresting details

If you are looking for a new building for the garden to replace a less desirable structure

Here a new 10 by 8 Dwarf wall greenhouse to replace one that had rotted away to leave just the wall. This has many features such as fold down benches, a built in water tank and automatic roof vents.

A delightful garden room and summerhouse. It has a seperate tool shed and we built the deck and pond to complete the look.

All this created from an old creosoted  garden shed found at the bottom of the garden....

A custom made greenhouse that was the centre piece of a beautiful cottage garden in a historic town.

A custom tool shed with veranda for dodging the rain when gardening, designed to mirror a very old converted timber mill just off shot.

Whether it a new build to add space and entertain in the summer.

Or you want restore that cherished little gem in the garden back to new again. Then why not contact us and see how we can help.

      We can design and build most timber garden structures to suit your requirements and needs and of course if you have an existing garden structure that needs restoration then we may well be able to help restore it back again.

    We even do custom pieces and hard landscaping projects as part of the build, like Water collection, paths, benches, raised beds and sitting areas.

Please note.​

• We do not offer a purely glazing replacement service for broken glass.
• We do not work on aluminum and plastic structures.

Perhaps as in this build you know exactly what you want and are looking for and just want someone to build it for you. Then again we can help

This unique greenhouse and tool store was made to a clients exacting plans and its unique hieght was intended for over wintering some tall shrubs.

A beatiful and perfectly formed Alton Amateur from the 1990 that has been restored to sit once again on a very unique (and steep) garden. The glass is so clean it almost looks as if it isn't there.

We completed this restoration of a historic 'Vinery' in a London Suburb. It was just a wonderful example of what can be achieved in a limited space. The original grape vine is still growing, now nearly 120 years old. Located on a high garden wall its charm and character was stunning.

Our passion for timber garden structures was instilled in us from an early age by our grandparents and parents. The garden was a sanctuary where we could play and explore. within the building, whether that be a shed, greenhouse or summerhouse were places where things happened, items were made and repaired, seeds sown and wonderful fruits ripened. It can be a place for hobbies such as model engineering and woodwork, or a place to paint or read. We have built sowing rooms and craft studios. Garden buildings have always been a place to develop, explore create and reflect.

Whatever the use we celebrate the garden building and believe that it doesn't need to be a boring brown shed  that needs to be screened and hidden. We want the structure to enhance the space it occupies and be a worthy addition to the garden. Nowadays there are increasing numbers of metal and even plastic structures but the warmth and character of a traditional timber building greatly enhances a garden and can give decades of service if cared for.

With all the work we undertake we offer a 'one stop shop' experience. With the exception of electrical work and some glazing work we undertake all the work ourselves and rarely use contractors. It is a complete ground up process including foundations through to finish. 

We hope that our website highlights the passion we have for what we do. Look through  the pages to see scores of buildings that we have created or restored, they are a small selection but hopefully show the wide diversity of the work undertaken.

Please note since 2020 there has been a rise in Garden Office projects and because of the specialised need for all weather insulation and electical work this is not the sort of work we undertake, we would advise contacting a specialist company that can create this sort of environement.

We are always happy to discuss a project and then can go on to offer a design and quotation after consultation without any obligation on your part to proceed. If you decide to try elsewhere we are happy to 'bow out gracefully and respect your wishes.' We never chase up customers, pester with phone calls or emails. We don't like it and so we don't do it to others.
