Questions we get asked a lot

Often not: many garden rooms sit within permitted development. The plot decides it though, including height, how close you build to a boundary, and whether you are inside Exmoor National Park or a conservation area. We check where you stand at the survey stage and tell you straight.

One figure for the whole job: footings, drainage, the building, interior fit-out, flooring, decorating, and the landscaping that settles the room into the garden. We price per job once we have seen the ground and the access, and that price is agreed in writing before anyone starts digging.

Yes, and it is worth deciding early, because cable and pipe routes affect where the base sits. The building is designed around its services and the ducting goes in during groundworks. Certified electrical and plumbing connections are left to the trades qualified to sign them off.

That is the whole reason we build to house standard. Insulation, careful detailing where junctions meet, and a weathering specification chosen for driven rain off the moor and salt air nearer the coast. A garden office you can still work in during a February gale.

Groundworks are messy for a while, so we plan around it. Access routes across lawn get protected where they can be, spoil and offcuts go out with us as we go, and the ground around the finished room is made good, levelled and planted as part of the job.

Planned work only, run in sequence rather than three sites at once, so the dates we give you when quoting are dates we can hold. Accept, and you get a start date, a text before every visit, and a twelve-month workmanship guarantee from handover with aftercare behind it.
