01.
Choose Your Roof Type
Apex roofs offer extra headroom and a traditional profile, while Pent roofs provide a modern look and are often better for drainage when positioned near garden boundaries.
Insulated Garden Workshops
Insulated garden workshops offer a reliable, year-round space for work, creativity, and storage. Unlike standard sheds, these structures are designed to regulate temperature and protect contents from cold, heat, and damp.
Whether you need a place for tools, a quiet home office, or a hobby room that stays comfortable in all seasons, an insulated garden workshop gives you practical square footage without the need for a costly house extension. It is a smart, energy-conscious way to expand your property’s potential.
Year-Round Comfort, Right in Your Garden
Standard sheds often struggle in the winter and overheat in the summer. Insulated garden workshops solve this problem with high-performance thermal panels, breathable membranes, and airtight construction. Designed for consistent temperature control and dryness, they allow you to use your space more often for tasks ranging from remote office work to heavy-duty woodwork. If you’re serious about comfort and protecting your equipment, insulation is an essential investment.
At Noah, we design and build all our workshops in the UK using premium materials. Each one is handcrafted to your specific size, layout, and finish preferences.
- Full insulation for walls, roof, and floor as standard
- Prevents mould, condensation, and extreme temperature swings
- Custom internal layouts for workbenches, desks, or storage racks
- Designed to accept mains electrics, lighting, and heating
- Long-lasting structure with low maintenance requirements

Select Your Insulation Level
We offer full cavity-fill, rigid board, or foil-backed insulation depending on your specific thermal requirements. All builds include a breathable membrane to ensure the timber stays healthy and dry.
03.
Configure Windows and Doors
Choose from double-glazed UPVC windows, fixed panes, or skylights. We offer both side and front access doors with options for high-security locks and privacy glazing.
04.
Add Your Internal Setup
We pre-plan layouts to accommodate heavy-duty tool walls, bespoke workbenches, and strategically placed power sockets. Floors can be reinforced to support heavy machinery.
Strong Timber Frames and Thermal Panels That Work
Noah workshops are built using robust timber frames and advanced insulation. Insulation isn’t an afterthought at Noah—it is integrated into the structural design. This means fewer drafts, increased acoustic dampening, and significantly lower energy use. If you are storing sensitive electronics or high-value metal tools, this stable environment is exactly what you need.
Solid Timber Frames and Roof Trusses
We use pressure-treated timber joists and trusses to maintain structural integrity and prevent sagging. Our frames are engineered to match the load-bearing demands of your chosen size.
Integrated Wall and Floor Insulation
Insulated boards are built directly into the panels. Sealed joints and vapour barriers act as a shield against damp, protecting both the building and your belongings.
Glazing and Ventilation Control
All windows feature double glazing as standard. We incorporate discreet trickle vents to maintain air quality and manage humidity without compromising the thermal envelope.
Finishes That Last
Our external cladding is UV resistant and weather-treated. You can choose from traditional timber, premium cedar, or contemporary low-maintenance composite finishes.

2
Handmade in the UK
All components are handcrafted in our Shropshire facility. Panels and frame components are precision-cut and treated before being dispatched.
3

We provide detailed base guidelines. Whether you are using a concrete pad, timber frame, or ground screws, we ensure you have the right foundation for a heavy building.
4
Professional Installation
Our expert team completes the assembly, including the structural sealing and internal insulation. We leave the site clean and your workshop ready for immediate use.
Do You Need Planning Permission for an Insulated Workshop?
In most cases, you won’t need planning permission if the workshop stays under 2.5 m high and is not used as a residential living space. If the building is within 2 m of a boundary, height limits are particularly important to follow.
However, specific rules apply in Conservation Areas or for buildings with very large footprints. We can adapt our designs to help ensure your build meets permitted development criteria. Read our full Planning Guide for more information.
