Expert home services
Garden structures, decked and paved areas, and the outdoor power and lighting that make them usable after dark.
Norwich & Norfolk
Local workmanship, direct communication and one point of responsibility.
What we do
An outside space only really gets used when it works in the evening and in the shoulder months. That usually means three things happening together: a level, well-built surface to sit on, somewhere sensible to store what the garden needs, and light and power that are properly rated for weather.
Acorn builds the timber and does the electrical side, so decking lighting and outdoor sockets are planned into the structure rather than clipped on afterwards.
Level, well-drained outdoor living space built on a frame that will still be true in five years.
Shed construction, assembly and repair, including bases, security upgrades and electrical supply.
Made-to-measure benches, tables, planters and garden joinery in properly specified, finished timber.
Weather-rated, RCD-protected lighting and sockets for decking, paths, sheds and garden rooms.

Timber, fixings and enclosures specified for the exposure the space actually has, not a sheltered ideal.
Structure and electrics handled together, so there's no waiting for a second trade to make the space usable.
The support underneath is what decides whether decking still feels solid after a few winters.
Exterior power and lighting is RCD protected, tested and certificated to current regulations.

Local expertise
Exposure varies more across Norfolk than people expect. A sheltered courtyard in the middle of Norwich and an open garden out towards Acle or Reedham are completely different environments for timber and for outdoor electrics, and it's worth specifying for the one you actually have. Norfolk gardens also tend to be generous, so a run out to a shed or garden office is a genuine cable-sizing exercise rather than paperwork.

Common questions

Both. That's the main reason people ask us — the frame, the boards and the electrics are one job with one point of responsibility, and the lighting is designed in before the boards go down.
Most domestic decking projects are a matter of days rather than weeks, depending on levels, ground conditions and size. You'll get a realistic timescale with the written estimate rather than an optimistic one.
Most domestic sheds fall within permitted development, but size, height and position relative to boundaries all matter, and listed buildings and conservation areas have extra restrictions. Check with your local authority if you're near any of those limits.
Yes. That means an appropriately sized armoured supply from the house, correct burial depth, RCD protection and usually a small consumer unit in the building. It's tested and certified like any other circuit.
It depends on exposure, budget and the look you want. We'll talk through the realistic options and how each will weather rather than defaulting to one material.
Yes. Any timber left outdoors needs periodic re-treating to stay looking its best. We'll tell you what yours will need and how often, so there are no surprises.
