The WiFi Guarantee does not cover external spaces such as a garden office, and Sky don't sell their boosters, so you'll have to source something yourself.

You'll find some boosters have leaked online (although their legitimacy is dubious) but a wired solution such as Powerline networking or (preferably) real ethernet would almost certainly be better.

@Kelly2277 highly unlikely a booster would work for a garden office as the booster needs a strong signal to boost. Sky dont sell boosters and would not supply one for an external office even if you buy their broadband boost bundle. You can pick upmSky boosters online but they are pricy and are notvthe best solution.

 

By far the best solution is to run an ethernet cable from the hub to your new office and install a wifi access point there. That need not be expensive indeed can usually be done at the same time as running power but check thst the electrician knows what they are doing most only have a very basic understanding of network cabelling. Failing that and assuming the office is connected to your home's mains consumer unit you can use a powerline adapter kit which sends the signal over the mains cables. These kite can be boughtvwith a built-in wifi access point.
