Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a garden room cost?
Most bespoke garden rooms range from around £10,000 for a compact insulated office up to £30,000 and above for a larger room with a kitchenette or bathroom. We confirm a fixed price after a design visit.
Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
In most cases a garden room falls under permitted development and does not need planning permission, though there are limits on size, height and use. We check this for your property before we start.
Can I use a garden room as an office all year?
Yes. We build with insulated walls, floor and roof, double glazing and proper electrics and heating, so the room is comfortable to work in through every season.
How long does a garden room take to build?
Most garden rooms are completed in three to six weeks depending on size and specification.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every garden room comes with a workmanship guarantee, and we are happy to advise on maintenance afterwards.
