HSP Garden Buildings

The origins of HSP Garden Buildings... 

It was the summer of 1992, if I recall correctly, and a customer had requested our little joinery shop make a summerhouse for his mother.

We'd never "actually" made one before; but the building industry was struggling at the time and we needed the work, so I (and a couple of friends) decided to give it a go.  I had not long turned 21.

A few weeks later with parts all prepared, on a lovely warm day we headed off to London in our rickety "Sherpa" truck; I remember confidently predicting "we'd be back by 4pm", A line I am still reminded of to this day!

Roughly 16 hours later we arrived home, weary, to Suffolk; long after dark of course, but we had done it, we had built our first summerhouse.

On the road home we chatted about what we had achieved, I opined that we had made a nice thing, but it wasn't "quite nice" enough for me.  I thought we could do better; little did I realise, I'd been bitten by the bug.

What followed were years of research, experiments, triumphs and failures, trips to the Victoria & Albert museum, trade shows with line drawings to demonstrate what we were trying to make, retail shows in the pouring rain, and step forward ten (at times wonderful, at times painful) years to the formation of HSP Garden Buildings.

Twenty years beyond that brings us to where we are today, older, hopefully wiser, but with the mantra now, as it was then "to make beautiful garden buildings".

Design it right

We know what works, and what doesn't.  Our buildings are put to so many uses, from pool rooms, class rooms, gyms and home offices, they all require subtle design elements.

Build it right

The pace of change in the construction technology shows no signs of slowing down, we have learned some hard lessons along the way and 30 years experience "in the business" goes into each and every building we produce.

Treat people right

We believe our friendliness and flexibility sets us apart.  Word of mouth is the best advertisement and "hard sell" is anathema to us.  Projects we work on often take years to come to fruition, sometimes the best things come to those who wait.
