I have been delighted with the standard & quality of my "Warwick" wooden stables - everything was included in the price which meant I knew exactly how much they would costs. Lots cheaper but some even had the stable door as an extra when you looked into it & I consider that an essential LOL.
Put them up in 2002 & not had to do any real maintenance & still look great. I would highly recommend the company

We moved to our current house 20 years ago and at the time I had a horse that was over 18hh ! When it came to having new stables built I struggled to find anything that offered decent headroom and in the end we opted for a block from National Stables simply because they offered an ' extra height ' option . They are certainly not local to us and I didn't know anyone else who had used them ( and no such thing as the internet in those days ! ). We ordered a block of 4 stables and a hay store which were delivered and erected over two days by two delightful lads who camped overnight in our field to complete the job , such was the travelling distance involved .
We had the onduline roofing replaced in 2014 ( 17 years later ) , it was still mostly sound but was starting to sag a little in places , so we decided that sooner was better than too late ( a wise decision given the torrential rain we experienced the following year ). While we were at it we decided to give the stables a coat of wood paint/preservative - again the first in 17 years . During this process we realised that , apart from one small area where a pony had pulled back on an external ring tie and the wood had splintered around a screw fixing , the exterior of the block was almost perfect - no rotting , no splits ,no holes , no loose , warped or slipped timber , all the fittings are the origional ones and are in perfect working order . I was so impressed that I even sent the MD a photo of the stables from when they were first installed and one of how they look today ie. EXACTLY THE SAME !!!!! And got a very nice letter back too , from the same guy I dealt with when I placed the initial order !.
Obviously , horses being horses ,internally we've had to repair or replace the odd damaged kick board ( although quite a few of those are still the origionals ) , so whilst I can't comment on their recent builds I have to say that if National still make stables to that standard then I wouldn't hesitate to use them again .

Thank you for the replies. Does anyone know if you need planning permission if stabling are within the curtilage of the house? Depends on the size of the stabling and the individual planning authority. Usually you can erect up to a certain size (I think it's about double garage size) - but best to check. www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/43/outbuildings |
