Norfolk is a county of flint and pantile cottages, Georgian Norwich terraces and coastal second homes. 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 Norfolk, 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
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Garden Rooms & Timber Studios in Norfolk — common questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is bespoke joinery more expensive than a fitted furniture chain?
On a like-for-like specification it is usually comparable, and often less. Chains price a standard carcass and then charge for every deviation. A bespoke maker prices the actual room once. Where bespoke does cost more is in the materials — solid hardwood and sprayed finishes cost more than foil-wrapped board, and they last a great deal longer.
