Custom Sizes and Later Expansion at Gardening Works

Yes — Gardening Works designs its composting bins, raised beds, and whelping boxes to be modular, so you can add on later, and the company states that custom sizes are available on request. To get a bespoke size, you contact the team directly for a quote rather than ordering a fixed size off the shelf. This suits anyone whose space doesn't match a standard unit, or who wants to start small and expand the same setup over time.

What "modular" means in practice

The products use a slot-together system: panels slide into place with no screws, drills, or DIY skills required. Because the units are built from separate panels rather than one fixed frame, the design is intended to grow with you — the site's own wording is "just add on when you're ready."

That matters for two different situations:

• Expanding later — you buy a unit now and add to it when you need more capacity, keeping the same style and system.
• Custom sizing up front — if your space needs a non-standard footprint, you ask for a quote instead of forcing a standard size to fit.

How to request a custom size

Custom sizes are handled through a quote, not a standard checkout flow. Based on the contact details published on the site:

1. Decide what you need — a specific size, or an expansion of an existing product.
2. Get in touch using one of the published contact routes:
   • Email: [email protected]
   • Phone: 07821 123 595
   • Or use the "Get a custom quote" / "Speak to our team" options on the site.
3. Describe your requirements and wait for a reply — the site states it aims to respond within 48 hours.

The team is described as real people who know the products, rather than an automated system, which is relevant if your requirement is unusual and needs a conversation rather than a form.

Delivery and collection

Two options are stated for getting products to you:

The workshop address is Unit 9, Chapel Hill Industrial Estate, Chapel Hill, Longridge, Preston, Lancashire, PR3 3BU. Collection may suit you if you're local or want to avoid delivery on a large or custom item.

What to check before you commit

• Confirm the custom size in writing as part of the quote, since bespoke dimensions aren't a standard listing.
• Ask how expansion works for the specific product you're buying — the modular principle applies across the range, but the practical add-on depends on which unit you start with.
• Factor in lead time for a custom or handmade item; everything is hand-built in the Ribble Valley workshop, and the 48-hour figure refers to reply time, not build time.
• Decide delivery vs collection early if you're ordering something large or non-standard.

If your space is standard, you can simply shop the existing compost bins, raised beds, or whelping boxes. If it isn't, the quote route is the way to get a size that actually fits.
