Pool houses and games rooms in Exmoor
Wet feet, cue chalk and a serve that misses. Rooms built to take proper use, with hard-wearing floors, ventilation that copes with pool humidity and a changing corner by the door.
What we specify
Damp air, wet floors and constant traffic
A pool house earns its keep in the shoulder seasons, when the water is warm and the wind off the Bristol Channel is not.
Damp air, wet floors and constant traffic are hard on a building, so we specify accordingly: moisture-tolerant finishes, good ventilation and floors that take chlorine and bare feet.
01
Finishes chosen for chlorine, damp air and bare feet
02
Ventilation designed in at drawing stage, before the shell goes up
03
Layout planned around the table, the sofa and the traffic
Games rooms
Games rooms get the same shell, tuned for sound rather than steam.

Questions we get asked a lot
Will 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.
Can 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.
What 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.
