Garden Rooms

A garden room gives you flexible extra space just a few steps from home. Use it as a hobby room, gym, games room, bar, yoga studio or somewhere to relax. Our garden rooms are fully insulated, heated and finished inside and out for comfortable use throughout the year.

Garden Offices

If you work from home and want clear separation between work and home life, a garden office creates a dedicated workspace without extending your house. Fully insulated, heated and wired for everyday use, it provides a comfortable place to work throughout the year.

Built Using SIPs Panels

We use Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for the floor, walls and roof of our garden buildings. SIPs combine insulation and structural strength within a single panel, creating a highly insulated and energy-efficient building.

This construction helps retain heat during colder weather and reduces heat transfer during warmer weather, creating a comfortable space for year-round use.

You can read more about how we use SIPs to construct our garden buildings and the benefits they provide.

Our external roof and wall finishes use durable, low-maintenance materials, while our PVCu windows and doors feature A-rated double glazing.

Planning Made Simple

Many garden rooms can be installed without full planning permission, depending on their size, height, position and intended use. However, different planning requirements may apply if you intend to use the building for sleeping accommodation or your property is in a designated area.

For granny annexes and garden lodges, the appropriate planning route will depend on the proposed building and how it will be used.

We’ll assess your project and advise you on the appropriate route. Where an application is required, we can prepare the drawings and paperwork and deal with the local authority on your behalf.

What’s Included as Standard

All our garden buildings include a high standard of construction and internal finish. Your fixed-price quotation clearly sets out everything included in your individual project.

Bespoke Windows and Doors

Window and door positions can be tailored to your chosen design, with additional glazing available where required. A-rated double glazing helps provide natural light while maintaining good thermal performance.

Glazed frontage with entrance door

A full-height glazed frontage brings in plenty of natural light and creates a bright, open feel. It includes a secure main entrance door that’s easy to access.

Screw Pile or Reinforced Concrete Foundations

Depending on the building and site conditions, we use engineered screw pile or reinforced concrete foundations to provide a strong, stable base. We assess the ground conditions and specify the appropriate foundation system for each project.

Smooth Plastered Walls and Ceilings

We finish the internal walls and ceilings with smooth plaster, creating a clean, home-like finish. Once the new plaster has fully dried, the interior is ready for you to decorate in your chosen colours.

SIPs floor, walls and roof

Our floor, walls and roof use highly insulated SIPs construction, helping create a strong, energy-efficient building suitable for comfortable year-round use.

Comfortable Ceiling Height

Our garden rooms typically feature a 2.3m internal ceiling height, creating a bright and spacious interior that feels comfortable for everyday use.

Durable EPDM Flat Roofing

Our flat roofs use a durable RubberCover EPDM membrane designed to provide long-lasting waterproof protection. The roof can be finished with decorative gravel for a clean, attractive appearance.

External lighting

We include outside LED lighting as standard, plus a double outdoor socket. These are ideal for garden lighting, tools or charging appliances.

Electrical connection up to 30 metres from house

The price includes all cabling and connection back to your home’s power supply, up to 30 metres. No hidden costs or need to arrange your own electrician

Internal double sockets, USB points and LED downlights

Each room comes with plenty of plug sockets, including USB charging points and modern dimmable LED downlights to suit how you use the space.

Energy-Efficient Electric Heating

Our buildings include modern electric heating for comfortable year-round use. We currently use Ecostrad iQ Ceramic radiators, which offer programmable temperature control and smart functionality.

Guttering and downpipe

We install rear guttering and a downpipe to keep water flowing away properly and protect your cladding and foundations.

Security locks and durable cladding

Windows and doors are fitted with multi-point locking systems. Cladding options include long-lasting materials that don’t need painting or regular upkeep.

Part P electrical certification

All electrical work is carried out by qualified installers and comes with Part P certification for complete peace of mind.

10 year comprehensive guarantee

Every building comes with a full 10-year guarantee covering the structure, roof and major components, giving you long-term confidence in your investment.

Complete Turnkey Installation

From initial design to final handover, we manage every stage

There’s no need to co-ordinate several different contractors. Our team manages your project from the initial design and foundations through to construction, electrics, plumbing and the agreed internal fit-out.

Your fixed-price quotation clearly sets out what is included, so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.

Internal decoration is not included, as the new plaster needs time to dry before painting.

If you’re unsure which type of garden building would suit you, we’ll be happy to talk through your options.

Our Product FAQs

What types of buildings do you offer?

We design and install a range of bespoke garden buildings, including granny annexes, garden lodges, garden rooms, offices and hobby rooms.

Every building is made to order, so we can tailor the size, layout and specification to suit your available space and how you plan to use it.

Are your garden rooms and annexes insulated?

Yes. We build our granny annexes and garden rooms using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which provide high levels of insulation and energy efficiency.

This highly insulated construction helps retain heat during colder weather and reduces heat transfer during warmer weather, creating a comfortable space for year-round use while helping to keep heating costs down.

Can I choose the exterior finish?

Yes. You can choose from a range of external cladding options to give your garden annexe the look you prefer. Options include Western Red Cedar for a natural timber finish and low-maintenance fibre cement cladding in a choice of colours.

We’ll show you the available samples and colour options during your site survey to help you choose the right finish for your annexe.

What sizes are available?

Our garden annexes and garden rooms are bespoke and made to order, so we offer a wide range of sizes and layouts. Whether you need a compact garden office, a one-bedroom annexe or a larger two-bedroom annexe, we can design the building around your available space and requirements.

The final size will also take into account your garden, intended use and any relevant planning or Caravan Act requirements.

Can I live in a granny annexe full time?

Yes. Our granny annexes are designed for comfortable, year-round living, with high levels of insulation, heating, utility connections and a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom, living area and bedroom.

A granny annexe can provide long-term accommodation for a family member while remaining ancillary to the main house. The appropriate planning route will depend on the individual project, and we’ll advise you on this as part of our service.

What guarantee comes with a Green Room garden building?

All of our garden buildings come with a 10-year comprehensive guarantee, giving you long-term reassurance after your project is complete.

We also offer insurance-backed warranties and deposit protection through IWA, subject to the applicable policy terms and fees.
