1
Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
Most garden rooms do not require planning permission if they meet specific criteria, such as height restrictions and not occupying more than half of your garden space. We can guide you through the requirements during your consultation to ensure your garden room complies with local regulations.
2
Can I use my garden room for commercial purposes?
Yes, garden rooms can be used for commercial purposes like running a small business, therapy space, or workshop. However, if you plan to use the space for business, you may need to check with local planning authorities to ensure you meet any requirements related to zoning and business use.
3
How do you ensure my garden room is well-insulated?
We prioritise insulation for maximum comfort and energy efficiency. Our garden rooms come with high-quality insulation materials in the walls, roof, and floor. We use 100mm of Kingspan insulation as standard to keep the space warm in winter and cool in summer, ensuring a comfortable environment year-round.
4
What type of foundation do you use for a garden room?
We use a concrete pad foundation for all our garden rooms, ensuring a solid and level base. This foundation is ideal for supporting the structure and allows for proper drainage, helping to prevent any moisture issues over time.
5
What’s included in the price of a garden room?
The price of your garden room includes everything from design and planning through to construction and installation. This includes a solid concrete base, fully insulated walls, roof, and floor, windows and doors, electrical installation, and all necessary finishes. You can also choose to add additional features or upgrades to meet your specific needs.

Can I sleep in my Garden Room?
While you can use your garden room for leisure or work, if you want to use it for living or sleeping purposes, you’ll need to apply for planning permission. We can assist you through the process and help ensure the space meets the necessary regulations.
