West Midlands is a county of Victorian back-to-back terraces, vast interwar semi estates and 1960s tower blocks. 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
A garden room is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in West Midlands in one visit wherever the programme allows.
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
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.

What happens next
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 West Midlands — common questions
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.
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 do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
