QCB5 School Building
The QCB5 school building takes our QCB5 garden office shell and fits it out as a classroom, library, staff or reception room, SEN / quiet room or art studio. It's the same engineered shell we install in thousands of gardens, so the spec is classroom-grade: 90mm Ecotherm insulation in floor, walls and roof and A-rated double glazing keep it warm in winter and cool in summer for year-round use, with mains sockets, recessed lighting, blinds, internet via a TP-Link router and full electrical certification built in. Four fit-out options are configurable in the size picker below: a 4ft × 3ft toilet cubicle (£1,020) with a pull-cord, light and extractor fan on a fused spur, or a fuller toilet with sink and vanity unit (£3,600); internal partition walls at £246 per 4ft section to split the space into separate rooms; internal doors at £390 each; and an additional purlin (£252) to strengthen the floor for heavier classroom traffic. Underneath it all it's the full QCB5 spec — zero-maintenance exterior that never needs painting, the 25-year structural guarantee, and adjustable concrete feet so it sits on the ground without a concrete base or groundworks and can be relocated within the grounds if needs change. Free delivery and installation in England. A £100 deposit reserves your installation date.

And, like every Booths building
A zero-maintenance exterior
Built from steel and UPVC — no external timber. It never needs painting or staining, so you are never left maintaining a building, and it keeps its just-installed look for the full 25 years.
The UK’s only 25-year guarantee
A 25-year structural guarantee on the building itself — not a one or two-year warranty. It is built, and warranted, to be used for decades rather than treated as a temporary garden room.
Portable — and still an asset
Every building is 100% portable. If your circumstances change it can be lifted out and relocated, or sold on, so it stays a resaleable asset rather than money sunk irreversibly into the house.
Customer Stories

QCB5 School Building — your questions
Where does the external air-conditioning unit go?
The outdoor unit sits on the ground on slabs rather than on the studio wall, so its vibration is never felt inside. It needs roughly one metre of clearance in front to work. As it isn't the prettiest box, it's usually placed on the least visible side, and the pipework can be extended to run it further from the building and out of sight.
Can the studio be air-conditioned, and how does it work?
Yes — a single air-conditioning unit does four jobs: heats in winter, cools in summer, dehumidifies, and filters the air. It's a heat-exchange unit, so it's roughly four times more efficient than a standard electric heater (you put in around 1–1.5kW and get 5–6kW of heat out), which makes it cheap to run. We recommend it over underfloor heating, which can't cool in summer and limits where partition walls or a toilet can later be added.
We want an art studio — is it suitable?
Yes — many customers use the studios for art and comment on the light, airy feel. Windows on two sides are common; a three-side window option is available.
Is the base strong enough?
Yes — a decoupled floor accommodates movement (helpful for treadmills/ cross-trainers). Non-moving heavy items (bookshelves, pool tables, printing machinery) are easily handled; discuss heavy moving gym equipment with us.
Can I have elaborate or multi-level decking?
Yes. We make our own decking in standard front depths, but for more elaborate work — multiple levels, steps, or decking wrapping right around the studio — we can put you in touch with a specialist decking installer who handles the bespoke design and materials.
Can you supply a more bespoke garden office design?
Yes — half windows, high "fan light" windows, decoupled treadmill flooring, external downlights, internal partitions/sliding doors, extra decking, colour options, light oak walls, French doors, flyover roofs, floor and outside sockets, internal storage or toilet cubicles. Contact us for option pricing.
Do you supply bi-fold doors?
No. Bi-fold doors have fine tolerances; very hot weather expands them, making closing or locking difficult or impossible.
Do you supply blinds?
Recessed blinds are included as standard in QCB5 and QC8 layouts.
