Garden Room FAQs
Everything you need to know before choosing your garden room.
Go to the product page to choose your desired finishes. One of our team will then contact you to book in your project and arrange a convenient installation date. We then guide you through a seamless process;
1. Confirm design and desired finishes & arrange installation date. We will visualise your new room in your garden for you!
2. Confirm your base where the new room will be located (our expert team will assess from photos or conduct a free site visit)
3. We prepare and pre-build your new room in our factory to ensure it all fits perfectly
4. Our expert installation team will carry out the full installation process usually within 1 day.
Our unique designs mean that you do not require planning permission. Because the height is below 2.5m no permission is required. However, every building is different so we recommend you check with your local authority, especially if you have a listed building, live in an Area of Natural Beauty, a National Park, World Heritage Site or a Conservation Area. If the new room covers more than 50% of the garden or is on a front elevation, you should check if planning is required. (This information is for guidance only and you should check if you have any doubts)
Our expert team can usually complete installation within 1 day and we charge £900-£1,800 for this service. However, we are currently offering free installation to all customers. This offer will not last forever.
Unfortunately we do not provide log burners. If you choose the electrical package, you can simply plug in a free-standing heater or we can provide a wall mounted smart wi-fi electrical heater, so you can control the heating of your room before you even get out of bed!
Standard 3 pin sockets are provided just like in your home. There are also smart spotlights recessed into the ceiling finished with striking patio lights outside. All the wires are integrated within the structure and protected with a consumer fuse box unit in the room. An outdoor outlet on the side of the building allows you to simply run the power cable (provided) to your home plug socket without the need for an electrician. Just plug the room in when you use it. Alternatively, we can work with your electrician to hard-wire an armoured electrical cable to your room.
We provide a concrete pad garden room base within our offerings. It is a great solution for a permanent base that we can fit during the 1 day install and does not require any setting time. Alternatively, if you are providing you own base, a flat and level concrete base is suitable with 100mm additional floor space all the way round. Eg, a 3m x 2.5m should have a base of 3.2m x 2.7m. Poured concrete bases are usually more expensive and can be labour intensive and a messy process. To help prevent against cracking in the future, it should be left to settle for 1-2 weeks. We also recommended to leave 25-50cm gap between the sides and rear of your building and any fencing or shrubs to allow for maintenance and future care.
We can arrange our install date in as little as 2 weeks from completion of order (reciept of deposit and sign-off on your design). Bespoke designs take a little longer. Whilst we have the fastest garden room delivery rate in the country with an average installation time of 3 weeks from order, we do have to work around the Great British weather, so please bear with us!
We offer delivery throughout England, Wales and Scotland (exc some isles and the highlands, please check for additional delivery charges)
