Dundee and Angus is a county of sandstone tenements, jute-era terraces and coastal town housing. That is exactly the kind of building stock a garden room has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
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 Dundee and Angus, 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
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

Straight answers
Garden Rooms & Timber Studios in Dundee and Angus — common questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?
Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
