Who we are

At PlaceHill, we are passionate about supplying elegant garden rooms to families across the UK. Long before our founding in 2021, our founders were dedicated specialists in innovative construction and the timber industry.

With our experience, enthusiasm and varying skill sets combined, we are well equipped to design, build and install premium garden rooms that you will not find anywhere else.

What sets us apart

Several qualities put PlaceHill in a different class to our competitors.

The most notable of these is our workmanship and transparency. We are an old-fashioned business, which to us means no hidden costs or unexpected extras. However, we are also modern enough to deliver solid, functional and contemporary cabins that will draw admiration from every passerby.

With our innovative designs and off-site construction practices, we can deliver our sustainable buildings at a fixed cost with impressively short delivery times.

Mission

Our mission is to help our customers make their dream garden space a reality. In doing so, they can add an extra dimension to their living spaces without having to pay for a costly and complicated extension. Our customers gain sleek and functional garden rooms that can be individually purposed for an extensive range of needs, whether they need a home office, a playroom or something else entirely.

Vision

We are proud to provide our customers with outstanding customer service from start to finish, along with any after-care necessary to ensure you are 100% satisfied with our work. We aim to give our clients an experience that is exciting yet straightforward and stress-free.
