Warm, dry and usable in
every season
A garden room is only worth building if you can use it in January as well as July. Every build comes fully insulated (floor, walls and roof), with proper electrics, heating options, double glazing and finishes that match how you’ll live in the space. This isn’t a summerhouse — it’s a permanent, comfortable room.
Do I need planning permission
for a garden room?
Many garden rooms fall within permitted development, but size, height and use can change that — particularly if you plan to sleep in it or run a business from it. We check the rules for your property and handle approvals where needed. You can read the general position on outbuildings via the Planning Portal.
Powering your garden room
Most garden rooms need a dedicated power supply for lighting, heating and sockets. Our in-house Electrical team installs safe, certified wiring as part of the build — and can add EV charging nearby if you park close to the garden.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a garden room take to build?
Most garden rooms are completed in 3–6 weeks depending on size and specification. Because the work happens in your garden, day-to-day life inside your home is barely disrupted.
Can I use a garden room as an office year-round?
Yes. With full insulation, heating and proper electrics, our garden rooms are comfortable in every season — which is exactly why home offices are our most popular use.
Will it need foundations?
Garden rooms sit on an engineered base suited to your ground conditions. We assess this during the design consultation so the building stays level, dry and stable for the long term.
