ROCHESTER, KENT, 17 February 2026 — The Rochester-based manufacturer, which has been producing high-quality timber buildings since 1909, attributes the surge to Yorkshire homeowners seeking durable, flexible storage solutions for multiple vehicles, workshops, and hobby spaces. The company's range of timber garage kits — from single-bay designs to expansive 5-bay configurations — has proven particularly popular with rural and semi-rural households throughout the county.
Manufactured in Kent from ethically sourced timber from Northern Sweden, each Passmores garage kit is supplied with clear instructions for straightforward assembly, offering customers the satisfaction and cost savings of a self-build solution whilst maintaining the premium standards of the company's pre-built models.
Yorkshire customers are choosing timber garages for a variety of purposes: housing family car collections, creating dedicated workshop spaces for restoration projects, and establishing home offices or hobby rooms. The versatility of Passmores' designs allows buyers to configure layouts to suit their individual needs, whether that's four bays for vehicles and one for a woodworking shop, or a split between secure car storage and garden equipment.
Sustainability remains at the heart of Passmores' manufacturing process. For every tree harvested, two are planted, ensuring a long-term commitment to responsible forestry — a value that resonates strongly with environmentally conscious Yorkshire homeowners.
Speaking on the regional growth, Stuart Slaughter, Managing Director of Passmores, said:
"We've seen remarkable demand from Yorkshire over recent months, and it's clear that homeowners in the region value quality British craftsmanship and sustainable building practices. Our timber garages offer the space and flexibility that Yorkshire households need, whether that's for car collections, workshop projects, or simply robust, long-lasting storage. We're delighted to be supporting customers across the county with buildings that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern versatility."
