Is a garden room cheaper than conservatory?

I live in a conservation area, do I need planning permission?

Construction, Planning, Process

If you live in a conservation area, you would need to build behind the rear elevation of your house for the garden room to be permitted. If it falls within permitted development rights, then you should not require planning permission.

I have a shed, do I need to get rid of it before I can have a design consultation?

Site Survey, Process

No, our design consultants can work around any sheds, decking, garages, etc, that may be in the way of where your building will go. We will just ask that you send a photo of the ground under the obstacle once you’ve moved it before your base is installed.

Can my completed garden room be moved to a different location at a later date?

Process, Options, Construction, Mentainance

While our garden rooms are temporary structures and moveable, it is worth considering that the costs to move a building are chargeable to you and can equate to an amount that does not make moving the building viable.

Can I add a skylight to my garden room design?

Construction, Planning, Options

We cannot offer skylights as our roof construction is so meticulously engineered for superior insulation, longevity and quality that it cannot support a skylight. However, we can supply and fit ceiling-mounted LED panel lights, which is a great alternative.

Are your garden rooms warm enough to use in winter?

Construction, Mentainance, Options

Yes, they are warm enough to use throughout the year as they are all well insulated and come with a wall-mounted radiator as standard.
