More From The
Home You Have
Almost everybody who rings us about a garden room has already looked at what an extra bedroom costs on Rightmove in their street. That is the real comparison, and it is not close.
Moving costs you stamp duty, agent commission at one to nearly two percent plus VAT, conveyancing on both ends, a survey, a mortgage arrangement fee and removals. None of that money buys you anything. It just disappears in the process of getting from one house to another.
A garden room costs you the build and nothing else. You keep the street, the schools, the neighbours and the garden you have spent years on. And you get a room that is actually designed around what you need rather than what the previous owner of some other house happened to want.
Sometimes moving genuinely is the right answer. If your house is fundamentally too small, no outbuilding fixes that, and we will say so.
Built Like A Small House
- Reinforced slab with a damp proof membrane and insulation underneath
- Insulated timber frame, not a single skin shed with foil in it
- Double glazed units and a proper external door
- Armoured supply from your consumer unit, certified
- Plastered and decorated inside so it feels like a room
- Cladding or render to match what you have got
This is the difference between a room you use every day and a very expensive place to keep the lawnmower.
Garden Room Uses
The shell is similar every time. What changes is the floor, the power and the glazing. Pick one and see what it actually needs.
Rubber floor over a solid base, a mirror wall and enough sockets that you are not running an extension lead across the lawn.
- Size
- 3.5m x 3m upwards, and taller than standard if you are pressing overhead
- Power
- Own consumer unit. Heavy kit wants its own radial circuit
- Heat
- Insulated to building regs, no heating needed once you are moving
- Planning
- Permitted development in almost every garden
- Watch for
- Solid slab rather than a timber deck, or the weights will bounce
Desk depth, daylight from the side rather than behind the screen, and a hard wired network point so calls do not drop halfway through.
- Size
- 3m x 2.5m is enough for one desk, 4m x 3m for two
- Power
- Sockets at desk height, data cable run alongside the armoured feed
- Heat
- Insulated and heated. You will be sat still for eight hours
- Planning
- Permitted development. Business use from home is fine
- Watch for
- Blinds and glazing on the side wall, not facing the screen
North light where we can get it, a bench that does not move, and dust extraction if you are cutting anything.
- Size
- 4m x 3m gives you a bench and room to stand back
- Power
- Twin sockets on every wall and a lighting circuit you can see by
- Heat
- Insulated. Heating depends on whether you work in January
- Planning
- Permitted development for hobby use
- Watch for
- Wider doors than standard if the work has to come out finished
A proper insulated room that holds its heat overnight, not a summer house with a bed in it.
- Size
- 3.5m x 3m for a double, more if you want a shower room
- Power
- Full lighting and sockets, plus a heater on a thermostat
- Heat
- Insulated to habitable standard, floor, walls and roof
- Planning
- Fine as a guest room. Sleeping in it full time changes things
- Watch for
- Water and waste if you want a shower, which needs planning ahead
Counter, fridge, a run of sockets behind the bar and lighting you can turn down. The one that gets used most in July.
- Size
- 3m x 3m fits a bar and stools, 4m wide if people are standing
- Power
- Fridge circuit, dimmable lighting, outside sockets under the eaves
- Heat
- Insulated, with a heater for the shoulder months
- Planning
- Permitted development. Licensing does not apply at home
- Watch for
- Bifolds so it opens onto the patio rather than closing off
Toys out of the house, soft floor, low storage, and glazing you can see the garden through from the kitchen window.
- Size
- 3m x 3m upwards depending on how much Lego is involved
- Power
- Sockets set high, out of reach, with a childproof board
- Heat
- Insulated and heated so it works all year
- Planning
- Permitted development
- Watch for
- Toughened glazing throughout and a door they cannot lock
A garden room is usually cheaper than extending the house and needs no planning application in most gardens. If you want the space attached, compare it with a loft or garage conversion.
Ive used the team for several projects over the years and they have been nothing but faultless. Genuinely honest, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Professional, reliable and incredibly hardworking. They always arrived on time, kept everything tidy and communicated with us throughout.

We've had two extensions built by 1989. The second created a very large open plan kitchen in a very old house. Nothing was too much trouble for the team.

Garden Room Questions Answered
Usually not. Outbuildings are generally permitted development if they are single storey, under 2.5 metres high within two metres of a boundary, and cover no more than half the garden. Sleeping in it regularly is what changes the answer, so tell us if that is the plan.
Ours are built like a room, not a shed. Insulated floor, walls and roof, breather membrane, plasterboard and skim inside. That is the difference between something you use in February and something you stop using in October.
Armoured cable in a trench from your consumer unit to a small board in the garden room, tested and certificated. We dig the trench as part of the job rather than leaving you to sort it.
Yes, but it needs planning ahead. Waste has to run to your existing drainage at the right fall, which sometimes means a pump. Decide before we pour the base, not after.
Depends what goes in it. An office is fine on an insulated timber deck over piers. A gym with weights wants a solid slab, or the floor moves every time something gets dropped.
