How much does it cost to build stables?

Question

Looking to put up a block of two stables and a tack room in the paddock. What would a builder charge, and is timber or block cheaper to go with?

Joel · Answer

All depends on the spec, current ground and a lot of other factors. Timber framed is possible but for long lasting and weather durability will need some form of cladding / external protection

Mitch · Answer

I’d be happy to quote but would need measurements first I’ve built stables before and we used blocks

Cliff · Answer

no sure it’s better or cheaper but i would build it in block especially if there horses being held there . it would also only to be fair  for the builder and yourself to have some plans drawn up then get some quotes

Josh · Answer

For a pair of standard horse stables with a small tack room, I’d generally recommend a timber-framed construction with suitable external cladding rather than building it entirely from block.

Timber is usually quicker and cheaper to construct, while still being perfectly suitable for stables when properly treated and protected. I’d put the main budget into a good concrete base, drainage, roof, doors and proper internal stable partitions.

As a rough guide in the UK, depending heavily on size, specification, ground conditions and access, two stables plus a tack room could easily be in the region of £10,000–£20,000+ fully constructed. A block-built version would generally cost more because of the extra materials, labour and foundations.

The exact price would really need to be based on the dimensions, roof type, ground conditions and whether utilities/drainage are required.

Brick and block are excellent traditional building methods but more expensive. An experienced Carpenter can build a very strong timber framed stable at a significantly lower price, due to speed of build and lower cost of materials.

i would say block is cheaper in the long run as long as it is done by the right person
