A homeowner in Bristol wanted to create a functional, weatherproof garden office — a quiet space to work from home, away from the distractions of the house. They chose a pre-built log cabin (summer house) that needed expert installation on a level, stable base.
We stepped in as their handyman bristol team to handle the full build: levelling the ground, installing a weed membrane, building a sturdy sub-base, and assembling the modular wooden panels like a puzzle — all with precision and care.
The result? A beautiful, durable garden office — perfectly level, fully insulated, and ready for daily use.

The Problem
The client said:
“I wanted a garden office, but I didn’t know how to prepare the base or assemble the cabin. The ground was uneven, and I was worried about weeds and damp. I needed a local handyman near me who could do the groundwork and build the summer house properly — not just drop it on the grass.”
This is a common request we get from remote workers, freelancers, and homeowners in Bristol, Clifton, and Leigh Court — people who want a garden office, studio, or storage shed that’s built to last.
Our Solution
We managed the entire project from start to finish:
Ground Levelling & Sub-Base Preparation
- Assessed the garden area and marked the ideal position for the summer house
- Levelling the ground to create a perfectly flat surface
- Installed a durable sub-base using compacted stone or decking boards (depending on soil type)
- Ideal for floor levelling & damp proofing or outdoor structure preparation
Weed Membrane & Moisture Protection
- Laid a full weed control membrane underneath the structure
- Prevents weeds from growing up through the base and stops moisture from rising
- Ensures a clean, long-lasting foundation for the cabin
- Perfect for landlord flooring maintenance or garden structure prep
Modular Log Cabin Assembly
- Assembled the pre-fabricated wooden panels like a 3D puzzle — with precision and care
- Secured all joints and corners to ensure weather resistance and structural integrity
- Built the walls, roof, and door frame step-by-step, following manufacturer guidelines
- Ideal for garden office installation or summer house build
Clean, Tidy & Respectful Work
- We cleaned the workspace every day before leaving — no mess, no debris, no disruption
- Protected the lawn and surrounding plants during construction
- Worked evenings and weekends to fit around the client’s schedule
- All jobs come with a 3-month guarantee — so you can enjoy peace of mind
