The Log Cabin Design Process
At London Timber Buildings, our simple step by step process gives you complete control over the design of your new log cabin. We will advise at every step to ensure your log cabin fits your space, suits your needs and meets your budget.
We can make any of our buildings to any size or configuration. Therefore this stage is about choosing a size that fits within the designated area, is fit for purpose and of course within budget. We offer a free of charge, no obligation, site survey to all potential customers. Depending on your location this will be either a visit to site or via sykpe.
We recommend an eco-base of anti-rot solid recycled plastic posts concreted into the ground. This method is cost effective, less intrusive to your garden and enables all-round air flow to the cabin. Should the cabin be required for heavy duty items, such as gym weights or a workshop, then a more traditional concrete base would be better suited.
-44mm - Hand selected to create a sturdy structure. Other log cabin companies often offer 28mm.
70mm - Provides better year-round insulation.
44 + 44mm - The twin skin logs allow us to add wall insulation and hide services in the cavity wall. This is a super warm option.
Our standard log cabin window and doors are handmade to a premium quality. All units benefit from double glazed glass and all windows offer a dual opening mechanism; tilt and turn. With our bespoke service, you can customise the number of windows and doors to suit your needs.

Log Cabin Optional Extras
These are all extras we recommend to help you get the most out of your log cabin and ensures when we leave site the building is ready to use.
Assembly
We have a team of experienced builders on hand to install your garden building. The team are polite, efficient and organised to ensure the install goes without a hitch.
Insulation
High performance insulation can be added to the floor, roof and walls to allow your cabin to stay cool in the summer and retain heat in the winter.
Guttering
Guttering ensures water moves away from the cabin and foundations. Guttering is available in black or white.
Decking & Balustrades
To complete the overall appearance of the cabin we can add decking and balustrades.
Electricity
Electricity will be added to your log cabin, along with internet connection via home plug or cables. Installation would be fully certified and fitted by a qualified electrician.
Wood Protector
Our logs are kiln dried and require treatment. We include the first application of wood protector to the building as an optional extra. We recommend you treat the cabin ~14 days after assembly with a wood preservative and annually thereafter, to ensure maximum longevity.
Premium Log Cabins - FAQs
Yes, absolutely. Every single one of our timber buildings is made to order, allowing you to completely custom design your own bespoke log cabin. Our expert team works closely with you to create a tailor-made layout that maximizes your available garden space and meets your exact requirements.
Yes, we can add internal partition walls to any of our buildings. Because all of our log cabins are custom-made to order, we can easily create separate internal rooms, such as a private home office space, a hidden storage area, or a self-contained garden toilet.
Yes, we frequently install premium timber decking around our log cabins as an optional design upgrade. Adding decking or a veranda is a fantastic way to extend your outdoor living space and seamlessly blend your cabin into your garden landscape.
Yes, you can. We offer a fully managed plumbing service for our bespoke log cabins, including drainage, sewage system installation, and the fitting of all white goods. Alternatively, we are more than happy to work alongside your own preferred plumber.
Our high-quality timber logs are kiln-dried and arrive untreated. Upon assembly, your log cabin must be treated with a high-grade wood protector to prevent moisture damage; we offer this as an optional service in a wide choice of colours. To maintain the building's lifespan, we recommend applying a wood preservative annually, or opting to have the cabin primed and painted for a lower-maintenance finish.
Yes, we offer advanced acoustic insulation as an optional upgrade. This specialized acoustic treatment significantly reduces sound transfer, making it the perfect solution if you intend to use your log cabin as a music studio, cinema room, or home gym.
Yes, you can easily have electric underfloor heating fitted in your log cabin after the build is complete. While timber is a natural insulator that retains heat exceptionally well, often making traditional heaters more efficient, underfloor heating can be added if you prefer that specific luxury finish.
With routine maintenance and the annual application of a high-quality wood preservative, you can expect our luxury log cabins to have a life expectancy of over 30 years.
Yes! Our log cabins are engineered for comfortable year-round use, even during cold UK winters. We offer robust single skin (44mm or 70mm thick logs) or ultra-insulated twin skin (44mm + 44mm logs with an insulated cavity) configurations. When combined with our standard double-glazed doors and windows, plus optional roof and floor insulation, your cabin will remain warm and energy-efficient all year.
Generally, no. Most of our garden log cabins are specifically designed to fall within permitted development rules, eliminating the need for a formal planning application. However, planning regulations remain the customer's responsibility, and we highly recommend checking the official UK Planning Portal for your specific area.
Yes, we offer a free of charge, no-obligation site survey to ensure your project runs smoothly. Our team will measure your garden space, assess site access, and discuss the construction process. Depending on your UK location, this will be conducted via an in-person site visit or a virtual video call (such as Zoom, Teams, or WhatsApp).
Our versatile log cabins are ideal for a massive variety of uses, including a garden home office, hobby room, craft studio, home gym, pub or games room, or extra family living space. They are also highly popular for running a home business, such as a hair salon, beauty studio, or dog grooming parlour.
All of our bespoke log cabins come with a 12-month guarantee covering all materials and workmanship, giving you total peace of mind in the structural integrity of your build.
To make your purchase straightforward, we offer a transparent three-stage payment structure:
- 50% Deposit: Paid upon placing your initial order to secure your cabin's manufacture.
- Pre-Delivery Balance: Paid prior to delivery, covering the remaining cabin cost plus 50% of any selected optional extras (such as insulation or assembly).
- Final Balance: The final remaining balance is only due upon the successful completion of the construction works on-site.
We generally work toward an 8 to 10-week lead time, though this can fluctuate slightly depending on seasonal demand. If you have a strict deadline or require an earlier installation, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
No. To ensure the absolute highest standards of quality control and craftsmanship, all of our buildings are installed exclusively by our own fully trained, in-house London Timber Buildings team.
No, you do not need to be home the entire time. We only ask that someone is present when our installation team first arrives so you can confirm and sign off on the exact location of the building in your garden before construction begins.
Very little. We only ask that the chosen build area is completely clear of obstacles like trees, shrubs, or old structures. Because our advanced base system can level out uneven ground, we can build over multiple surfaces simultaneously, including grass, paving, soil, or concrete.
Yes. If you already have an existing concrete or timber base that is perfectly level and matches the exact dimensions required, our team can build directly onto it. Alternatively, you can choose to have us install a professional base system for you.
We assess access during your initial site survey. Generally, we only require a standard door's width of clearance to safely transport materials to the build site. Our installation team does not need access to the inside of your home unless your garden can only be reached by walking through the property.
While installation times vary depending on the size and complexity of your chosen model, our expert team completes the assembly of most standard-sized log cabins within 3 to 5 working days.
Building heights vary by design. To ensure a hassle-free project, popular models like our Wembley, Chiswick, and Pimlico ranges are specifically engineered to stand at 2.5m or less to comply with UK permitted development rights for standard gardens. Larger apex-roof models are taller, though bespoke heights can always be manufactured to order.
There are no limits—we can manufacture and build to any custom size or dimension you require. Please note that if your log cabin exceeds 30 square metres of internal floor space, the structure may require a formal building regulations application.
All dimensions listed across our website are external wall measurements. Please note that these dimensions do not include the roof overhang of your chosen log cabin model.
For our flat-roof Pimlico and Wembley ranges, we use a premium, single-piece EPDM synthetic rubber roofing membrane, which eliminates seams and prevents leaks; it features a 25-year manufacturer's warranty and a 50-year life expectancy. For apex-roof log cabins, we offer superior-grade felt shingle tiles or premium rubber slate-effect tiles, which are maintenance-free, eco-friendly, and come with a 50-year manufacturer's warranty.
We use only premium-quality, sustainably sourced timber. All of our building logs are strictly graded and controlled under the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) framework, ensuring our materials promote responsible and sustainable forest management worldwide.
Delivery is £260 for locations within a 20-mile radius of our depot. However, we regularly deliver and install our premium log cabins much further afield across the UK and are always happy to provide a custom delivery quote.
We provide two clear pricing paths online: Self-Build/Supply Only and our Full Turnkey Package. The Full Turnkey option provides a complete, hassle-free installation including: log cabin assembly, local delivery, supply and installation of an eco-base, floor and roof insulation, premium EPDM roofing, guttering with downpipes, and the application of a premium exterior wood protector.
We include high-performance double-glazed windows and doors across our entire log cabin range as standard. We do not use low-quality single glazing, as it is unsuitable for maintaining comfortable year-round temperatures
No, electrics are not included as standard. However, a mains electrical connection can be easily added to a timber log cabin once the structural build is finished. We work closely with trusted local electricians who can provide a separate quote, or you are welcome to use your own professional.
No, a base is not included in the base price, but we offer a professional installation as an optional extra. We highly recommend our heavy-duty eco-base system, which uses solid recycled plastic posts concreted into the ground topped with a pressure-treated timber framework. This elevates the cabin away from damp ground, allows crucial under-floor airflow, and effortlessly levels out uneven surfaces. Traditional concrete bases are also available upon request.
Let us take away the guess work.
