Client Case Study – Ben & Louise, Saffron Walden, Essex
When Louise and Ben decided to transform their outdoor space with a bespoke garden room and sauna, they turned to Black Oak Wood Co. for something truly unique. From their first enquiry to the final handover, the couple described the process as “easy and stressless”, noting that the team was not only professional but a pleasure to have around.
“Mark and the guys were absolutely wonderful to work with – we actually missed them once they finished,” Louise said. “Any workmen in the house were great – they took off their shoes and left no trace.”
Crafted from high-quality live-edge timber and encased in resin, the garden room is filled with natural light and blends seamlessly with the outdoor surroundings. It has become a beautiful and functional part of the couple’s home – a place to relax, work, and entertain.
The addition of the sauna has elevated the experience even further. “It’s fabulous – we feel incredibly lucky every time we use it. It’s an absolute pleasure and smells amazing,” Louise added.
At Black Oak Wood Co., we take pride in every detail – from the craftsmanship to the client experience. Hearing such positive feedback makes what we do even more rewarding.
“We’re thrilled to hear how much Louise and Ben are enjoying their space,” said the team. “There’s nothing quite like stepping into a warm, timber-scented sauna at the end of the day – it’s a little slice of luxury right at home.”
