Sit Back and Let the Experts Build It

Whilst many customers are happy to purchase their building on a supply-only basis, having your cabin professionally installed provides valuable reassurance that your investment is being assembled correctly from day one.

A log cabin is far more than a flat-pack garden building. Correct installation is crucial to the performance, appearance and longevity of the structure. Doors and windows must be adjusted correctly, roofing systems installed properly, and the building assembled using the manufacturer's recommended methods.

That's why many customers choose to add our professional installation service to their order.

Our experienced fitters install log cabins, summerhouses, garden rooms and other timber structures on a daily basis, ensuring a consistent level of workmanship and customer care.

Protect Your Investment

Your log cabin is a significant purchase and is designed to provide years of enjoyment. Professional installation helps ensure that the building performs as intended from the very beginning.

Our teams understand the natural movement of timber buildings, how to correctly fit roofing systems, and how to achieve the best possible finish. This experience can make a significant difference to both the appearance and long-term performance of your cabin.

Whether you're purchasing a garden office, workshop, leisure room, home gym or family entertaining space, professional installation helps ensure everything starts off on the right foot.

Already Purchased a Building Elsewhere?

We don't just install Cabins Unlimited buildings.

Our experienced fitting teams are regularly asked to install cabins, summerhouses and garden buildings supplied by other manufacturers and retailers. In fact, many companies selling timber buildings online do not operate their own specialist installation teams, so customers often come to us for a professional fitting service.

If you've already purchased a cabin from another supplier, we'd still be happy to provide a quotation for installation. Our team can assess your requirements and advise on the options available. Click here to request a quote:

The Foundation Thousands of Customers Trust

A log cabin is only as good as the base it sits on. That's why the ProBase Foundation System has become one of our most popular upgrades.

Unlike traditional concrete or paving slab bases where water can sit beneath the building and the concrete is porous, a ProBase system is designed to raise your cabin above ground level. Combined with 10mm drainage shingle, rainwater naturally drains away, helping to reduce the risk of moisture build-up beneath the structure.

Why Choose ProBase?

✔ Excellent drainage beneath your cabin

✔ Helps prolong the life of your building

✔ Raised ventilation system

✔ Cleaner, tidier installation

✔ No large concrete slab required

✔ One of our most popular customer upgrades

Many customers also choose to add timber sleeper edging, creating a smart and attractive finish that blends perfectly into the garden landscape.

Is ProBase Right For Me?

If you're looking for a long-lasting foundation with excellent drainage and a professional finish, ProBase is the solution we recommend most often.

Protect Your Investment for Decades

Your roof is your cabin's first line of defence against the British weather.

We only supply high-quality roofing systems designed to provide exceptional performance through heavy rain, strong winds, harsh winters and hot summer months.

Depending on your building design, you'll benefit from either our premium Roofing Shingles or our heavy-duty EPDM Rubber Roofing System.

Premium Roofing Shingles

Traditional Appearance with Modern Performance

Our roofing shingles aren't the basic felt products often supplied with lower-cost cabins.

Manufactured using premium bitumen technology and featuring a self-adhesive backing, they offer exceptional durability, weather resistance and a lifespan of approximately 30 years.

Benefits

✔ Long-lasting weather protection

✔ Premium self-bonding construction

✔ Attractive appearance

✔ Available in multiple colours and styles

✔ Suitable for all apex roof designs

Choose from a range of finishes to perfectly complement both your cabin and garden.

These Shingles can be a little tricky to fit but we are happy to give advice and we have videos on our YouTube Channel to help.  If you have not considered getting us to install your cabin then we can take the hassle out of the build and ensure your investment is installed correctly.

EPDM Rubber Roofing System

The Ultimate Flat Roof Solution

If you've chosen a pent roof cabin, our EPDM roofing system provides one of the most durable roofing solutions available.

This is the same type of roofing technology commonly used on modern home extensions and commercial buildings.

Unlike many standard kits supplied elsewhere, our system includes finishing details that make a huge difference to both longevity and appearance.

What's Included?

✔ Heavy-duty 1.2mm EPDM membrane

✔ Premium UPVC fascia trims

✔ Protection for roof edges and fascia boards

✔ Professional finished appearance

✔ Designed to accommodate guttering

✔ Expected lifespan of up to 45 years

The result is a modern roofing system built to protect your investment for decades to come.

Turn Your Cabin into a True All-Year-Round Space

One of the most common comments we hear from customers is:

"I wish I'd insulated it from the beginning."

If you intend to use your cabin as an office, studio, gym, hobby room or relaxation space throughout the year, insulation is one of the best investments you can make.

Its best to do this before the roof covering and floorboards are installed as can be tricky to do it later so we recommend taking the insulation kits with the cabin.

Enjoy Your Cabin in Every Season

During winter, insulation helps retain heat generated by heaters and radiators.

During summer, it helps reduce heat transfer through the roof, creating a more comfortable environment.

It can also assist in reducing condensation issues that naturally occur when warm air meets cold surfaces.

Benefits of Adding Insulation

✔ More comfortable all year round

✔ Helps reduce condensation

✔ Improved energy efficiency and reduced bills

✔ Better heat retention

✔ Cooler during warmer weather

✔ Enhances office and garden room use

Our roof and floor insulation system has been carefully developed specifically for log cabin construction and contains everything needed for professional installation.

For customers planning regular use throughout the year, this is one upgrade we strongly recommend.  Whilst our 25mm Insulation kits are perfectly suitable some customers want even better insulation and we are able to provide a cost for most buildings to offer a further upgraded and thicker option. Please call us to discuss on 01603 327345.

Guttering is often overlooked until after a building has been installed.

However, directing rainwater away from your cabin can play a significant role in protecting both the building and the surrounding area.

Our upgraded 116mm Deepflow Gutter System is designed to handle high rainfall volumes while maintaining a neat and professional appearance.

We also offer to supply a waterbutt option if guttering is selected.

Benefits

✔ Directs water away from your cabin

✔ Helps prevent splashback against walls

✔ Ideal for buildings close to fences or boundaries

✔ Reduces moisture build-up around the cabin

✔ Premium quality domestic-grade materials

✔ Includes downpipes as standard

✔ Order with the cabin to save time and hassle - we will even fit it if you have selected us to install your building.

Apex roof models include two downpipes for maximum drainage performance.

Available in:

• Black
• Anthracite Grey
• White
• Brown
• 

A Small Upgrade That Makes a Big Difference

Customers often see guttering as an accessory, but it's actually one of the simplest ways to help keep your cabin and garden looking their best for years to come.

Protect Your Investment and Keep Your Cabin Looking Its Best

A log cabin is a natural timber building, and like any premium timber product, it requires the correct protection to keep it looking beautiful and performing at its best for many years to come.

At Cabins Unlimited, we've spent years testing and using a wide range of timber treatments. We only recommend products that have consistently proven themselves through real-world use on thousands of timber buildings.

Whether you want a contemporary painted finish, wish to showcase the natural beauty of the wood, or would prefer us to do the work for you, we can supply the products, provide advice, or offer a complete professional painting service.

Exterior Protection – Our Recommended Paint System

Sadolin Superdec Opaque Wood Protection

For customers looking for a modern painted appearance combined with exceptional durability, our preferred product is Sadolin Superdec.

This premium water-based treatment is a self-priming, microporous wood protection system that provides outstanding long-term performance while allowing the timber to breathe naturally.

Unlike traditional paints that can trap moisture, Superdec penetrates and protects while maintaining flexibility, helping to reduce cracking and peeling over time.

Why We Recommend Sadolin Superdec

✔ Available in almost any colour - ask us to colour match!

✔ Attractive solid-colour painted finish

✔ Water-based and environmentally friendly

✔ Microporous formulation allows timber to breathe

✔ Self-priming on most applications

✔ Up to 10 years of protection when applied correctly with three coats

✔ One of the most proven timber protection systems available

Many customers choose Superdec to match existing garden buildings, fencing, windows, doors, or even their home's colour scheme, creating a truly bespoke finish.

We can supply the paint mixed to almost any colour requirement, and most of our building listings include guidance on the number of litres typically required to complete the job.

Prefer the Natural Timber Look?

Sadolin Classic Wood Stain

Not everyone wants to hide the natural beauty of timber.

If you'd prefer to see the grain, character, and texture of the wood while still providing excellent protection, we recommend Sadolin Classic Wood Stain.

This translucent wood stain allows the natural appearance of the timber to remain visible while enhancing its beauty and providing excellent weather protection.

Why Customers Choose Sadolin Classic

✔ Enhances the natural grain of the timber

✔ Attractive translucent finish

✔ Protects against weathering

✔ Ideal for traditional garden buildings

✔ Available in a range of natural wood shades

✔ Proven performance from a trusted brand

For customers who have specifically chosen a timber building because they love the natural look of wood, Sadolin Classic is often the perfect choice.

Internal Timber Protection – A Manufacturer's Warranty Requirement

Protect the Inside as Well as the Outside

One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of timber building maintenance is the treatment of the internal timber surfaces.

To comply with the manufacturer's warranty requirements, the internal timber must also be protected.

Many customers assume that because the interior is sheltered from the weather, treatment isn't necessary. However, moisture in the air can still affect untreated timber over time.

For internal protection, we recommend Sadolin Polyurethane Extra Durable Varnish.

Benefits of Internal Treatment

✔ Helps prevent grey mould caused by airborne moisture

✔ Protects timber surfaces from everyday wear

✔ Reduces staining from dirty hands and fingerprints

✔ Creates a surface that can be wiped clean

✔ Preserves the appearance of the timber

✔ Helps meet manufacturer warranty requirements

Our Recommended Application

To achieve the best protection, we typically recommend:

• 3 coats on floorboards
• 2 coats on internal walls
• 1 coat on ceilings

This provides excellent long-term protection while maintaining the natural beauty of the timber.

Customers who prefer a painted interior can still choose an opaque finish, while those wishing to retain the cabin's natural timber appearance often favour the clear polyurethane treatment.

Our Recommendation

If there's one optional extra that protects every other part of your investment, it's proper timber treatment. Whether you choose to apply it yourself or use our professional painting service, protecting your cabin from the outset will help preserve its appearance, maintain your warranty, and ensure years of enjoyment from your new garden building.
