Garden Rooms & Timber Studios

Insulated timber-frame studios with a proper foundation and a real roof.

Every garden room we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in your home, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.

How we build it

Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.

Finish and materials

Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

Typical guide pricefrom £2,200 per linear metre, fitted
Typical lead time8–12 weeks from signed drawings

Guide prices are indicative. Real cost depends on the run length, ceiling height, finish and what goes inside. The indicative price tool gives you a range in about a minute, and a free survey turns it into a fixed written quote.

Straight answers

Garden Rooms & Timber Studios — common questions

Do I need planning permission for a garden room?

Usually not, under permitted development, provided it is single storey, under 2.5m high within 2m of a boundary, not forward of the principal elevation, and covers no more than half the garden. Listed buildings, conservation areas and designated land have tighter rules — we check before quoting.

What foundation does it need?

Either a reinforced concrete raft or a screw-pile and steel frame system. Screw piles suit sloping or tree-rooted gardens and go in within a day; a raft suits flat ground and heavier buildings.

Can I use it all year round?

That is the point of building it properly. A fully insulated timber frame with a warm roof, double glazing and an air-source or electric heater is comfortable in January. A summerhouse specification is not.

Does it need building regulations approval?

Not if it is under 30 square metres, single storey, contains no sleeping accommodation and is more than one metre from a boundary or built from non-combustible material. Add a shower or a bed and the position changes.

Can it have water and drainage?

Yes, if there is a route to the existing drainage. A cloakroom or a small kitchenette is common. It usually pushes the project into building control territory, so we plan it in from the start.

What cladding lasts best?

Siberian larch or western red cedar on a ventilated batten cavity. Both silver gracefully without treatment. Thermowood is a good-value alternative with similar stability.

How long does a garden room take to build?

Eight to twelve weeks from order, with two to three weeks on site once the base is in. The base itself is usually a separate week, ahead of the main build.

Will it add value to the house?

A properly built, insulated and powered garden room typically returns most of its cost and makes the house more sellable. A cheap timber shed with a plug socket does not.
