Frequently Asked Questions

Most projects are completed in 1-2 weeks, depending on size and specification.

Our garden rooms start from around £15,000 + VAT, with most bespoke projects typically ranging between £25,000–£40,000. The size of the building doesn’t always determine the cost — it’s more about the materials, specification, and fit-out you choose. From budget-friendly builds to fully kitted-out luxury spaces, we’ll work with you to create a solution that matches your vision and budget. For a detailed quote for your project, please contact us.

We recommend booking around 4-6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred build slot — especially in busier spring and summer months when demand is highest. That said, we regularly deliver projects sooner where capacity allows, and we’ll always work with you to meet your timeline.

No — we’re completely transparent with pricing. All costs are agreed upfront in your quotation. In some cases, elements like electric hook-ups or specific groundworks may add to the overall cost, but these are always discussed in advance and flagged during the site survey so there are no surprises later.

Most garden rooms fall under permitted development, meaning planning permission isn't usually required, but there are specific conditions. Generally, a garden room can be built without permission if it's single-story, the eaves height (where the wall meets the roof) is no more than 2.5m, and the overall height (including the roof) is no more than 4m with a dual-pitched roof, or 3m for other designs. If the garden room is within 2 meters of a boundary, the maximum height is 2.5m. Additionally, the garden room cannot cover more than 50% of your garden area, and it cannot be used for living or sleeping accommodation. If planning permission is needed we can handle this for you.
