How much will my garden room cost?

We do not have a standard product because each garden room is bespoke. The price varies on the design you choose, the amount of windows and doors, distance from your property etc. After an initial telephone conversation we can provide you with a guide price and offer a site survey, from which we will prepare a full quotation.

Do I need Building Control?

Building Regulations do NOT apply if:

  • The internal area is less than 15m²
  • The internal area is less than 30m² and is not within 1m of the boundary

Building Regulations DO apply if:

  • You require a toilet, shower or basin to the mains sewer
  • It is self-contained or a living accommodation
  • The building is 30m² or over

How should I leave the site?

The area requires being free from all obstructions. If you have an existing concrete slab for the base, this must be free of cracks and be a minimum of 4” deep.

How does the structure sit on the floor?

The garden room will sit on a fully galvanised steel frame, which is resistant to rust and separates the building from the ground. This prevents moisture rising through any natural materials and provides airflow beneath the building, improving thermal efficiency and deterring weed growth and vermin.

How close can I put the building from my boundary?

If the building is less than 15m² (150ft²) you can build right up to your boundary (400mm). If the building is over 15m² you will need to be at least 1m from a boundary.

Who will be on site during the project?

A Project Manager will be on site at all times. We have an excellent team of professional tradesmen.

Will a garden room add value to my property?

Our garden rooms are built to a high specification and will last for many years; they are permanent buildings and will add between 75% - 100% of their cost price to the value of your property.
