As Seen on TV

The Green Room was Featured on ITV’s Love Your Home and Garden with Alan Titchmarsh

We were proud to be part of Love Your Home and Garden with Alan Titchmarsh, where we designed and built a bespoke garden room for the Seesurrun family. Their son Aryan requires full-time care, and our garden room gave his mum, Manisha, a peaceful space to return to her design work.

The finished room opened onto a wide terrace with level access, a lift for Aryan, and beautiful landscaping that tied everything together. It was a thoughtful project for a remarkable family.

“The building is so well constructed and the team were a joy to have on site. I cannot recommend them highly enough!”
— Thea Pitcher, ITV

Garden Annexe FAQs

Common questions about planning, pricing and what’s included

If you’re thinking about adding a granny annexe or garden lodge to your property, it’s natural to have a few questions. Here we’ve answered some of the things we’re most often asked. From how long it takes to what’s included in the price, this section covers the key points to help you get started with confidence.

Are garden lodges insulated for all-year use?

Yes. Just like our annexes, our lodges are manufactured with SIPs panels for excellent thermal performance. They’re warm, quiet and energy efficient all year round.

Are service connections included in the cost?

Yes. We include trenching and connection to mains water, foul drainage and electricity. If a pump or additional works are needed, we’ll advise you clearly before we start.

Can I get a fixed price before I commit?

Yes. Once we’ve visited your site and agreed on a layout, we’ll provide a full written quote. This will be a fixed price for the full project.

Can I live in a granny annexe/building full time?

Yes, our granny annexes are built for full-time living. They are insulated, connected to mains utilities, and comply with building regulations. They include a bathroom, kitchen, living space and sleeping area, just like a small home.

Can your buildings include kitchens and bathrooms?

Absolutely. All granny annexes come with a fully fitted kitchen and bathroom as standard. Garden rooms can also include these features if needed.

Do I have to pay council tax on a granny annexe?

If a dependent relative lives in the garden annexe, you are usually exempt from council tax. Rules can vary slightly depending on your local council, but we can help guide you.

Do I need planning permission for a granny annexe?

For an annexe, you will typically need to apply for either Full Planning Permission or a Lawful Development Certificate (LDC) from your Local Planning Authority (LPA). We handle this process on your behalf.

Whichever route you take, our team handles the paperwork and contacts the local authority on your behalf. For further information, please see our planning page.

Do you manage all trades during the build?

Yes. We provide a fully managed service. Our team includes groundworkers, builders, electricians, plumbers and plasterers – all coordinated by us so you don’t have to manage a thing.

Do you offer finance?

We don’t offer finance directly, but we can supply a detailed quote that you can take to your mortgage provider or broker. Because our annexes add value to your home, they are often accepted by lenders for equity-based loans.

Do you take care of all the groundwork?

Yes. We handle all aspects of groundwork including trenching, drainage, electrical connections and screwpile or concrete pad foundations. You won’t need to bring in extra trades.

How do I get started?

Just fill out our quote request form or give us a call. We’ll guide you through the next steps from there.

How long do the Garden Buildings take to build?

Most builds take between 4 to 6 weeks, depending on size and design. We manage the full project from groundwork to final fittings, so everything runs smoothly and on schedule.

Is the annexe or garden lodge usable straight away after installation?

Yes. Once we’ve completed the build and the final checks are done, your building is fully functional and ready to decorate.
