Garden Room Design and Build in Exmoor
One team from first sketch to the last coat of paint. We adapt a base design to your plot, dig the footings, build it, finish it and tidy up behind us.

Garden Room Design and Build
Our base designs give you a proven structure and a fixed price.
Our base designs give you a proven structure and a fixed price; the plot decides the rest. Orientation for light, roof line against the house, where the glazing wants to sit, how you walk to it in December mud. Then we build: footings, frame, insulation, cladding, fit-out and decoration, by the same two or three faces every day.
How it works
Simple from first message to finished job
-
Step 1
A visit to the plot
We walk the garden with you and check the practical things: access for a digger, levels, drainage, how close the boundary sits, and which base design fits.
-
Step 2
Drawings, specification and the price
You get the design adapted to your plot and one fixed price. We follow up once, answer what comes up, then hold a start date when you're ready.
-
Step 3
Build, hand over, then the year after
Groundworks through to decorating, run in one programme by the same team. We clear the site, walk you round the finished room, and back it for twelve months.
Frequently asked questions
01Will I need planning permission for a garden room?
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.
02What does the fixed price actually cover?
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.
03Can the room have power, heating and water?
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.
04Will it be comfortable to use in winter?
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.
05What state will the garden be in while you work?
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.

A proper working room: insulated, quiet, warm through a February gale, and lit for long days at a desk or an easel. A world away from the kitchen table.
