A weatherboarded garden room with French doors on to a timber deck.
A room at the end of the garden you'll use in January.
Built like a small house, not a big shed: a concrete or screw-pile base, an insulated timber frame, double glazing, and power and data run underground from the house. Warm enough for an office in winter.

Access matters: if everything has to come through the house, we allow for it. A WC or kitchenette needs drainage and adds to the cost.

Questions people ask first
- Does a garden room need planning permission?
- Usually not, if it's single-storey, under 2.5 m tall near a boundary and not used to sleep in. Listed buildings and conservation areas differ.
- Is it warm enough to work in all year?
- Yes. We insulate floor, walls and roof to near house standard, and a small panel heater or air-con unit does the rest.
- How do you get materials into a terraced garden?
- Through the house, carefully, with floors and walls protected. Most frames come in pieces small enough to carry.

Tom comes to the house, measures up and talks it through, usually within the week. Rather start with a call? Pick the planning chat instead.
The build itself is quoted after the visit: fixed, itemised and in writing.
