Metal Structures
Workshops
A workshop needs more than four walls — it needs light, headroom and a structure that copes with daily use. We build steel workshops sized around the work you do, from single-bay hobby spaces to larger commercial units.
- Clear-span layouts with no internal columns
- Extra eaves height for lifts and racking
- Windows, roof lights and personnel doors
- Insulated wall and roof build-ups

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Common Questions
Many domestic garages, workshops and sheds fall under permitted development when they are single storey, behind the front elevation and within the height limits, but rules differ for listed properties, conservation areas and commercial sites. Always confirm with your local planning authority before ordering.
A level concrete slab is the usual base and must be square, flat and slightly larger than the building footprint. We give you the exact base dimensions after survey and can arrange the groundwork if you prefer it handled in one contract.
Yes. Roof and wall insulation is available on garages, workshops and lean-to extensions where the space will be used as a working or hobby room all year round.
The galvanised steel frame and powder coated cladding are built for decades of UK weather with no rot and no repainting, only occasional washing down and a check of the door gear.
Up-and-over, roller shutter and personnel doors are all available, sized to the opening you need and finished in a colour that matches the cladding.
