Cabin Master

What Cabin Master does

Cabin Master (legal entity Quality Timber Buildings Ltd) is a privately held UK manufacturer and installer of bespoke, insulated timber garden buildings, founded in 2009 (with the brand claiming over 20 years of category experience) and headquartered in Stapleford, Nottingham. The company designs, manufactures in its own UK factories, and installs a broad product range including Garden Rooms, Garden Offices, Garden Pods, Garden Bars, Garden Gyms, Photography Studios, BBQ Cabins, School Rooms, Camping Cabins & Lodges, plus specialty lines like Golf Sim Rooms, Driving Sim Rooms, Sauna Cabins, Garden Annexes, and The Micro Office. Construction uses structural C16 timber framing with Kingspan thermal insulation, Western Red Cedar or slow-grown PEFC/FSC Scandinavian Redwood cladding, FSC Neatmatch MDF interiors, Firestone EPDM single-piece rubber roofing with black uPVC guttering, and an optional TANALISED pressure-treated timber base system carrying documented service life of 60 years internally and 30 years externally; a composite-post base alternative is offered.

The business sells direct to consumers and small businesses through two physical show sites (Nottingham and Studley, with 50+ cabins on display, open seven days a week), website-driven quote requests, free design meetings (virtual and in-person), free site surveys, and free CAD drawings. Pricing is per-unit one-time purchase starting from £12,500 and ranging to £36,850+ depending on size and specification (£24,850 small, £27,100 medium, £36,850 large garden rooms, plus photography studios around £20,000), with a 10-year product guarantee. A finance partnership with Novuna adds buy-now-pay-later and interest-bearing credit options, generating secondary transaction-fee revenue. Installation is performed by Cabin Master's own trained crews, with most projects completed within approximately four days.

The company operates within mainland UK only — Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands are explicitly excluded. Cabin Master sits at the head of a multi-brand group alongside sister companies Arctic Cabins (BBQ cabins), Camping Cabins (glamping structures), and Cabins For Schools (educational facilities), sharing manufacturing capacity across adjacent verticals. Customer segments served span remote workers, fitness and wellness enthusiasts, creative professionals, entertainment hosts, schools, and hospitality operators, with a horizontally segmented approach across six documented use cases.
