Really happy with Ark

As soon as I met Tim and Piers I knew we d made the right decision choosing Ark Not only are they incredibly professional but they are really personable and a pleasure to have on site They care deeply about the end result and will bend over backwards to make sure clients are happy If you are planning a garden studio I d really recommend them as a good safe pair of hands for this kind of project

Ultimate Bespoke Service

It s been 2 years since our garden cabin was finished and it s been even more invaluable over the last 12 months than we ever imagined We simply could not live without it But not only do we have a beautiful garden space we have also received incredible support from the team at Ark Always quick to respond to questions and never a problem if they need to come back to help in person They really do epitomise the ethos of Bespoke Service Thanks Tim and Piers

Incredible service and quality

Ark have designed and built a brilliant garden gym for me The quality is superb the customer service was first rate and the team were polite friendly and hard working Tim worked with me to design what I wanted and was able to accomodate my changing requirements up to the week before the build started Our building was built from scratch and the quality has been praised by other specialist installers who were amazed how exact they have been I created a complex AV solution for the gym which created difficulties during the build Ark were extremely responsive and found ways to work around it They were very reasonable on extra costs incurred and discussed everything with me I love my garden gym and will recommend Ark to anyone who will listen They have created a superb building which will last me for decades and I couldn t be happier

Ark were the right choice

We looked at a number of companies before choosing Ark to build our new garden shed-office combo We wanted it built on site as everything needed to come through the house we have no access to the back otherwise We knew if we got it wrong it would be a nightmare with doors open and mud and dust everywhere Piers and Tim were calm friendly and responded quickly right from first contact We had to wait a few months before they were free but they made us feel confident about timings and turned up when they said they would Having Piers and his team on site during a rainy January they were friendly and made a lot of effort with the site management as well as the build itself The final building is everything we hoped Small adjustments as we went along were also added effortlessly We re delighted with the outcome and I definitely recommend the Ark team

Tonbridge Garden Office Gym

We were waiting a few months for the team at Ark Design to start work on our garden office gym due to their popularity However they were well worth the wait and even started a couple of days earlier than we had anticipated which is testament to their amazing organisation and time-keeping Tim stayed in contact in the months leading up to the build and his communication was brilliant throughout I wouldn t hesitate to recommend them to anyone We are so pleased that we booked a bespoke design with them rather than seeking out a general building company for the work They were helpful friendly and a pleasure to have around And the final building is incredible We absolutely love our new space

Brilliant from start to finish

We were really pleased with our choice of Piers and Tim and the garden room built for us is a fantastic addition very well constructed and built to our needs From the very start and throughout we had very good timely communication As it is a bespoke build you are able to tweak it and the team were really responsive to any questions and able to provide helpful practical solutions Two things which also really filled us with confidence although there is a huge demand for their services we had to wait six months they haven t grown at the risk of diluting the quality so the person that comes out for the initial visit you will see on site doing the work the quality of their sub-contractors is brilliant from the team that fit the groundscrews through to the plasterers and electricians - all fantastic at their craft Overall highly recommend them

A Design For Life

When you work from home every day you owe it to yourself to find an inspiring space to work from When lockdown 1 happened it became obvious very quickly that a busy house with 2 teenagers a toddler and a dog was not going to be that space I immediately began researching local firms to help me escape into the garden Ark stood out stylish contemporary and bespoke and just up the road in Tunbridge Wells From the initial consultation it was clear that Piers understood exactly what I was looking for The design process was collaborative and innovative the building process was clearly defined and the pricing was detailed and transparent We opted for a 5m x 4m studio with a 2 5m composite deck The front of the building would feature 3m aluminum bifold doors and a full height window alongside Thermowood cladding would cover the exterior and inside the building would be fully insulated plastered heated and powered by 8 double sockets A TV wall mount was installed with concealed power HDMI socket and CAT 7 for direct access into the Wifi disc It took just 3 weeks to complete the build every component made to measure and built by hand it was clear that Piers and George approach every project as if it was their own The workmanship and attention to detail was incredible the site was immaculate and nothing was too much trouble We ve now got a space that not only inspires me during working hours but acts a sanctuary for the whole family I advise anyone that is considering their own project to do whatever it takes to get it done it will change your life completely
