The cost of garden rooms depends on several factors. These factors include materials costs, size, added extras and installation costs. All our garden rooms are fully bespoke and include: Design Consultation, Site Survey, All Groundworks, Services* - Electrics, Ethernet, Water & Waste, All Materials, Manufacturing, Installation, Warranty. *Services subject to customer requirement. Our garden rooms therefore start from £18000 for a 3m x 3m room. All our garden rooms are designed and manufactured using the highest quality materials and all come with a 10-year guarantee. The cheapest garden room options will not include any optional extras.

In many cases, planning permission is not required to build a garden room. Garden room structures fall under permitted developments in the UK and therefore, rarely require planning permission. There are occasional cases when garden rooms do require planning permission however, when a garden room is being used as a self-contained living area- such as when it is being used as a spare bedroom, with a kitchen and bathroom. Our specialist designers will be able to advise on your particular project, and if planning permission is required, we can take care of this for you. However, if you would like a garden room without planning permission, there are several options that have 0 requirements. For example, there is no need for planning permission for a garden bar or a garden office.

Permitted development allows for the improvement or extensions to homes without the need to apply for planning permission as long as they meet certain criteria. More info on this can be found here but our specialists will also be able to advise on this.

The maximum height depends on where the proposed garden room is located. If the garden room is within 2m from the property boundary the maximum height will be 2.5m. If the garden room is more than 2m from property boundary’s this ca be extended to up to 3m.

Although you are able to build up to the boundary line there are a number of stipulations with this. For example there must be a firebreak present giving a minimum of 30minutes of fire resistance. Our specialists will be able to advice on an application-by-application basis.

Yes. Garden rooms require foundations to ensure stability. These foundations play a crucial role in supporting the structure by evenly distributing its weight across the ground. By providing a solid base, foundations contribute to the overall strength and durability of these buildings. Our expert fitters will fit a concrete base and allow time for this to set before building your garden room. We have a few options for the foundations, the most common options are concrete bases as slab or pads.

If there is already a concrete base we may be able to build directly on this. This would be subject to a test on survey for depth and integrity.

We have a number of options for the foundations with the most common options being a concreate slab or pads.

There are several reasons why garden rooms add value to your home, including, the increased floor space, the wow factor and the possibility of adding a garden office or gym. Halifax, one of the biggest banks in the UK wrote, as a part of their UK mortgage advice ‘A garden room can add value to your property – worth doing whether you're thinking of selling or not. Plus it's one of the simpler ways to make your property more desirable. The construction of a garden room is usually simpler than an extension, a loft conversion or knocking down interior walls.’
