A workshop built around the way you work.
From a dedicated home workshop to a larger working building for tools, machinery and equipment, we design each workshop around what happens inside it and the space you need to work properly.
Bespoke sizes, layouts and specifications — with groundworks, electrics and installation available from one team.
A proper place to work, build, repair and create.
A good workshop starts with what happens inside it. The size, layout, access, windows and internal space should all work around your tools, equipment and the jobs you need the building to handle.
Whether you need a dedicated home workshop, space for a trade or business, or a building that combines working space with machinery and storage, we can shape the specification around the way you actually work.
Start with what you need to do inside. We’ll help shape the workshop around it.
A dedicated place to make, repair and create.
Whether it’s woodworking, restoration, DIY, model making, crafts or another hands-on hobby, a dedicated workshop gives you somewhere to leave the tools out, organise your equipment and get on with the work without taking over the house.
Designed around your tools, your projects and the way you like to work.
Working space built around the job.
For trades, makers and small businesses, the workshop needs to do more than provide four walls and a roof. Space for machinery, benches, materials and day-to-day movement can all influence the size and layout of the building.
Plan the building around the work from day one — rather than trying to make the work fit the building later.
A place for the work.
A proper place for everything else.
Tools, machinery, materials and equipment can quickly take over a working space. A workshop can be designed with storage considered from the beginning, keeping the main floor area clear while giving everything you use a practical place to live.
Working space and storage can be planned together so one doesn’t gradually take over the other.
Plan the inside around the way you work.
The best time to think about the inside of your workshop is before the building is built. Workbench positions, storage, lighting, power and the space needed around tools or machinery can all influence how well the finished workshop works.
Tell us what you work on, what equipment you use and how you like to work. We’ll help make the space work around it.
Built around the work, the equipment and the space you need.
There is no single workshop specification that suits every project. We’ll help shape the layout, access, construction and practical details around the work you intend to do inside.
Space planned around how you work.
Workbench positions, machinery, storage and clear working areas can all influence the size and layout, helping create a workshop that works properly from day one.
Get tools, materials and equipment in easily.
Door sizes, positions and additional access points can be planned around the equipment you use, the materials you handle and how you need to move through the workshop.
A timber building made for the job.
The structure, cladding, roof, windows and other construction details can be specified around the size of the workshop, its intended use and the finish required for the project.
Plan the working details from the start.
Lighting, sockets, workbench power, machinery positions and storage requirements can all be considered as part of the project rather than worked around after installation.
A workshop has to work outside as well as inside.
Position, access, ground preparation and installation all affect how well the finished workshop works. We consider the building as part of the wider site, not as something that simply gets placed wherever it fits.
Plan for more than just the footprint.
The workshop can be positioned around boundaries, existing buildings and available space while considering how tools, machinery and materials need to move in and out.
The right workshop starts with the right base.
ShedBox can take care of the groundworks required for your workshop, helping ensure the site and base are properly prepared before the building is installed.
Built and installed by ShedBox.
Once the layout and specification are agreed, ShedBox builds and installs the workshop as part of the project, giving you one team from preparation through to completion.
The specification matters as much as the design.
A bespoke layout only works if the building itself is properly considered. Materials, roofing, fixings and finishes are selected as part of the specification for your project.

Roofing forms part of the overall specification, with the appropriate system agreed for your building.Details agreed before we build
The building specification is worked through with you so the agreed project is clear before manufacture begins.Straight answers to the questions that matter.
From size and internal layout to machinery, electrics, groundworks and installation, these are some of the practical questions people ask before planning a workshop.
Do I need to know the exact workshop size before I enquire?
No. Approximate dimensions are useful, but you do not need to arrive with the final size already decided. Tell us what you want to do inside, the equipment you use and the space you have available, and we can help shape the workshop around the project.
Can the workshop be designed around my tools and machinery?
Yes. Workbench positions, machinery, storage and clear working areas can all be considered when planning the size and layout. The aim is to design the building around the work rather than making the work fit a standard building afterwards.
Can I choose where the doors and windows go?
Yes. Door and window positions can be planned around access, natural light, workbench positions, machinery and the way tools or materials need to move through the building.
Can the workshop include a separate storage area?
Yes. Working space and storage can be planned together, including dedicated areas for tools, materials, machinery, equipment or stock. This can help keep the main working area clear and organised.
Can ShedBox customise the workshop interior?
Yes. Depending on the project, the internal layout can be planned around workbenches, shelving, storage, tool areas, lighting, sockets and machinery positions. Tell us how you work and we can consider the practical interior requirements from the start.
Can ShedBox handle the groundworks for my workshop?
Yes. ShedBox can take care of the groundworks as part of the workshop project, so you do not have to find and coordinate a separate contractor yourself. The preparation and base can be planned alongside the building as one coordinated project.
Can ShedBox handle the electrical work?
Yes. ShedBox can include electrical work as part of the project, including agreed lighting, sockets and other electrical requirements. Power can be considered alongside workbenches, machinery and the internal layout rather than added as an afterthought.
Do ShedBox install the workshop?
Yes. ShedBox builds and installs the workshop to the agreed specification, giving you one team from the initial project discussion and specification through to installation.
Can ShedBox manage the whole workshop project?
Yes. Where required, ShedBox can bring together the workshop, groundworks, installation and electrical work as one coordinated project. That means fewer separate contractors for you to organise and one team bringing the different parts of the project together.
Do I need plans or drawings before I get in touch?
No. Plans, sketches, photographs and equipment dimensions can all be useful, but they are not essential. You can start by telling us about the site, what you want to do inside and what the workshop needs to accommodate.
Can I get a quote before every detail is decided?
Yes. Start with what you already know. We can help work through the size, layout, access and specification as the project develops before the final details are agreed.
Tell us what you need the space to do.
You don't need exact dimensions or a finished specification to get started. Tell us what you're thinking, how you'd like to use the building and what you know about the site so far.
Garden room, garage, workshop, open building or something that combines several uses — start with what you need and we'll work from there.
