Most properties can accommodate a garden room, though it depends on available outdoor space. Factors like garden or side space, location, and local regulations matter. Outdoor space is a key consideration due to varying building regulations.

​

Our site surveyor, in initial discussions, will assess your property's potential for garden room projects, outlining available options and possibilities.

As each garden room project is unique, providing a precise cost estimate can be challenging. Factors like size, materials, specifications, and any potential challenges must be considered.

​

Fortunately, we provide a complimentary, no-obligation on-site assessment. During this visit, we'll discuss your project in detail, allowing us to provide you with an accurate and tailored cost estimate.

There's a diverse range of garden room options to choose from, and the best fit for your property depends on its type and available space.

​

During our initial discussions at your property, we'll delve deeper into these garden room types, discussing their respective benefits and drawbacks. Some of the most sought-after garden room types include:

• Single-story garden rooms (side or rear)

• Multi-story garden rooms

• Garden room extensions for garages or kitchens

• Standalone outbuildings, conservatories, porches, and orangeries

Garden rooms are also a popular choice, often complementing conversion projects, such as garage or basement conversions, to expand existing spaces.

In many cases, constructing a garden room falls under permitted development rules, often requiring no planning permission. However, compliance with local building regulations remains crucial.

​

Although planning permission may not be necessary, it's important to submit plans, conduct structural assessments, and obtain approval from local building control.

​

Exceptions include listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, and areas with restricted permitted development rights. In such cases, council planning permission is required before proceeding with a garden room project.

If your property has a party wall shared with a neighbour, you are required to notify your neighbours about your garden room construction plans. While you don't need their permission, you must inform them. If they raise concerns about your proposed construction, you may need to engage a party wall surveyor.

In such cases, the party wall surveyor would send party wall notices on your behalf and arrange an inspection of the shared wall. They would document the condition with photographs and issue a party wall award outlining the approved construction works. It's important to note that this process is distinct from seeking planning permission and typically does not involve the possibility of refusal. It primarily ensures that the extension does not negatively impact the shared party wall.
