Bring your garden building back to life

An investment worth looking after

Your shed, summerhouse or garden office is an investment worth looking after. But years of rain, sunlight and changing weather can leave exterior timber faded, discoloured and looking older than it really is.

At Essex Exteriors, we help homeowners refresh suitable timber garden buildings through professional cleaning, preparation and protective finishing.

Shed Cleaning & Restoration

An ageing shed doesn't always need replacing. If the timber and structure remain sound, careful preparation and refinishing can improve its appearance and help maintain the exterior.

We assess existing coatings, timber condition and access before recommending a suitable approach.

Summerhouses

Summerhouse Restoration

Summerhouses are often prominent features in a garden. Faded cladding, weathered timber and worn finishes can significantly affect their appearance.

Garden Office & Timber Outbuilding Maintenance

Garden offices and modern timber outbuildings may require specific maintenance methods. We consider the cladding material, existing finish and any relevant manufacturer instructions before recommending work.

Not every surface should be pressure washed, sanded or recoated — we'll explain what's appropriate for your building.
