Building a wooden garden room requires specialist skills and knowledge. Our 6-step process covers the whole process from inquiry to construction, and the construction phase lasts up to eight weeks. If you build your own garden room, you will need to first design it, then lay the foundations, construct the timber building, install insulation, plumbing and electrics, and finally paint it. But it is a large task, so most people prefer to hire a specialist.

Even if you have a small garden, you may still be able to get a garden room to divide up the space. We can provide you with a garden room that is separated into different rooms. Some garden rooms consist of a single room that is divided into different zones, while other garden rooms have separate rooms with their own entrances, so it depends on what you want.

You can furnish your garden room any way you wish, just like you would a room in your home. The furniture you use depends on how you will use it. For example, you could add a desk, chairs and shelves for a garden office, or you could furnish it with comfy chairs and a sofa if you want to use it as a place to relax.

Garden rooms are separate buildings that are not attached to the main property. They are put up in the garden and used as an extra space like a guest bedroom or garden office. A conservatory, on the other hand, is built onto the side of the property. Conservatories are typically made using glass while a garden room is made of timber. However, they may look similar because garden rooms can also have large windows.
An indoor garden room is different from a standard garden room. This is typically a room in the house that is used to grow plants, a bit like an indoor greenhouse, and it is more likely to be housed in a conservatory. A garden room, on the other hand, is a separate building located in the garden away from the house.
Garden rooms in the UK are high-quality timber buildings that are designed off-site and then erected in the owner’s garden. They come in a wide range of sizes and styles, and they are made to a very high standard. They are fully insulated and are comfortable to use throughout the year. They do not usually require planning permission, and they are used for a wide range of purposes.
A garden room extension is simply another name for a garden room. Normally, an extension is used to describe the process of adding an extra room onto a house or enlarging an existing room. Garden rooms, on the other hand, are completely separate from the house. However, they are often referred to as garden room extensions even though they are separate from the main building.
If you want Wi-Fi in your garden room, this is easy to do. You could simply run an ethernet cable from your property to the garden room and connect it to a Wi-Fi router. Alternatively, you may be able to access the Wi-Fi signal from your home. To do this, you might need a Wi-Fi extender or Wi-Fi repeater, which boosts the signal and makes it easier to access the main Wi-Fi signal.
Garden rooms are permitted developments, which means they don’t require planning permission as long as they do not go over a certain size. They must be single storey buildings, and the height of the eaves must be a maximum of 2.5 metres. If it has a dual pitched roof, the maximum overall height must be no more than 4 metres. If not, the maximum height is 3 metres. However, if it is located within 2 metres of the boundary of your property, the maximum height is 2.5 metres. In addition, it must be under 10m x 10m in size.
There is no set rule about how much value a garden room can add to your property, but there’s a good chance it can increase the value of your home by anything up to 15%. However, that’s only true if the garden room is of a high quality. A low-quality garden building could have the opposite effect.
The most obvious difference between a conservatory and a garden room is that a conservatory is attached to your main property while a garden room is a separate building that is not attached to your home.
Garden rooms come in all shapes and sizes, and the cost varies depending on several factors. However, on average you can expect to spend between £23k and £35k for your garden room, which covers everything from the design to project management.
All of our garden buildings are insulated using premium insulation in the walls, ceilings and floors. In addition, we use double-glazed windows and doors. As such, our garden rooms can be used all year round in complete comfort.
A garden room is a timber building that is constructed in your garden and is separate from your main property. They come in a wide range of styles, designs and sizes, but they are typically insulated, made to a high standard and used for many purposes, from garden offices to yoga studios.
