Teesside is a county of Victorian ironworks terraces and a large stock of post-war and modern estates. 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
Walls in Teesside are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A garden room that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
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.

Straight answers
Garden Rooms & Timber Studios in Teesside — 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.
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.
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 you charge for the survey and drawings?
The measured survey and the quotation are free. If you want fully detailed manufacturing drawings or a 3D visual before committing, that is chargeable and the fee comes off the job if you proceed.
