QC8 School Building

The QC8 school building takes our QC8 garden office shell and fits it out as a classroom, library, staff or reception room, SEN / quiet room or art studio. It's the same engineered shell we install in thousands of gardens, so the spec is classroom-grade: 90mm Ecotherm insulation in floor, walls and roof and A-rated double glazing keep it warm in winter and cool in summer for year-round use, with mains sockets, recessed lighting, blinds, internet via a TP-Link router and full electrical certification built in. Four fit-out options are configurable in the size picker below: a 4ft × 3ft toilet cubicle (£1,020) with a pull-cord, light and extractor fan on a fused spur, or a fuller toilet with sink and vanity unit (£3,600); internal partition walls at £246 per 4ft section to split the space into separate rooms; internal doors at £390 each; and an additional purlin (£252) to strengthen the floor for heavier classroom traffic. Underneath it all it's the full QC8 spec — zero-maintenance exterior that never needs painting, the 25-year structural guarantee, and adjustable concrete feet so it sits on the ground without a concrete base or groundworks and can be relocated within the grounds if needs change. Free delivery and installation in mainland England. A £100 deposit reserves your installation date.

And, like every Booths building

A zero-maintenance exterior

Built from steel and UPVC — no external timber. It never needs painting or staining, so you are never left maintaining a building, and it keeps its just-installed look for the full 25 years.

The UK’s only 25-year guarantee

A 25-year structural guarantee on the building itself — not a one or two-year warranty. It is built, and warranted, to be used for decades rather than treated as a temporary garden room.

Portable — and still an asset

Every building is 100% portable. If your circumstances change it can be lifted out and relocated, or sold on, so it stays a resaleable asset rather than money sunk irreversibly into the house.

QC8 School Building — your questions

We want an art studio — is it suitable?

Yes — many customers use the studios for art and comment on the light, airy feel. Windows on two sides are common; a three-side window option is available.

Is the base strong enough?

Yes — a decoupled floor accommodates movement (helpful for treadmills/ cross-trainers). Non-moving heavy items (bookshelves, pool tables, printing machinery) are easily handled; discuss heavy moving gym equipment with us.

Can you supply a more bespoke garden office design?

Yes — half windows, high "fan light" windows, decoupled treadmill flooring, external downlights, internal partitions/sliding doors, extra decking, colour options, light oak walls, French doors, flyover roofs, floor and outside sockets, internal storage or toilet cubicles. Contact us for option pricing.

Do you supply bi-fold doors?

No. Bi-fold doors have fine tolerances; very hot weather expands them, making closing or locking difficult or impossible.

Do you supply blinds?

Recessed blinds are included as standard in QCB5 and QC8 layouts.

Can I paint my garden studio?

The outside never needs painting or staining — a low-carbon, eco-friendly design. Inside, you can paint over the factory white base coat in any colour.

What colours are available?

Windows: light oak or anthracite grey. Walls, corner pillars, fascias and soffits: Merlin grey (light), anthracite grey (dark), juniper green, black (fades faster), or oak (expensive, 5-year guarantee). Standard: anthracite windows with Merlin grey walls.

Can you fit decking?

Yes — long-lasting, less-slippy decking (30-year manufacturer lifespan), safer than timber. Standard front depths 910mm (3ft), 1220mm (4ft) or 1820mm (6ft), in brown or grey.
