Frequently Asked Questions:
WHAT’S ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN A FULL GARDEN ROOM?
Everything from the ground up: foundations, timber frame, insulation, electrics, flooring, plastering and the final finish. We handle the full job so you don’t need to juggle multiple trades.
DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION OR ANY APPROVALS?
In most cases, no. Our garden rooms come under permitted development as long as they meet standard size and height limits. We’ll check your property and confirm what applies to you.
HOW LONG DOES A BUILD TAKE FROM START TO FINISH?
Usually around two to three weeks, depending on size and design. We arrive prepared, keep things tidy and work efficiently from start to finish.
CAN YOU BUILD ON UNEVEN OR TRICKY GROUND?
Yes. We use adjustable ground screws or concrete foundations to level any site. Slopes, tight spaces or awkward shapes aren’t a problem.
WILL IT STAY WARM IN WINTER AND COOL IN SUMMER?
Definitely. We insulate every wall, floor and roof with high performance materials so your room feels comfortable all year round without big energy bills.
CAN I USE IT AS A GUEST ROOM OR WORKSPACE?
Yes. It’s perfect for offices, gyms, studios or guest rooms. If you want to sleep in it regularly or add plumbing, we’ll guide you through what’s needed.
IS THE PRICE FIXED, OR WILL COSTS CHANGE?
Our quotes are clear and fixed once we agree on the design and specification. No hidden extras or surprise costs.
WHAT GUARANTEE OR AFTERCARE DO YOU OFFER?
All builds come with a ten year structural guarantee and manufacturer warranties on key materials. We’re local and easy to reach if you ever need us.
WHY CHOOSE A FAMILY RUN BUILDER LIKE US?
Because your project actually matters to us. We only take on a few builds at a time so every job gets our full attention. No salespeople or middlemen, just genuine craftsmanship and pride in our work.
WILL IT ADD VALUE TO MY HOME?
Yes. A high quality garden room can add real value and make your home more appealing to buyers. It’s extra living space without the hassle of a full extension.
