Insulated Garden Rooms
Our insulated garden rooms provide year-round functionality with 100mm insulation in roofs, floors, and ceilings. Designed for versatility, they serve as home offices, gyms, or guest spaces. Constructed with durable materials like natural wood and metal flashings, these rooms ensure energy efficiency and minimal maintenance, blending seamlessly with your garden while adding property value.
Soundproof Garden Rooms
Engineered for noise reduction, these rooms feature a 'room within a room' system, dual-density plasterboard, and acoustic laminated glass. Ideal for musicians, therapists, or remote workers, they achieve a 38 dB noise reduction. Customisable layouts and cladding options ensure both functionality and aesthetic appeal, creating a peaceful retreat in urban or noisy environments.
Custom Design
We specialise in bespoke garden rooms tailored to individual needs, from size and shape to cladding materials and soundproofing levels. Our team collaborates closely with clients to ensure designs align with personal style and budget, offering unique features like storage cupboards, kitchens, or multi-functional layouts for residential or commercial use.
Home Office Solutions
Designed to eliminate distractions, our garden offices include full electrics, heating, and soundproofing for productivity. With options for natural lighting and ergonomic layouts, these spaces provide a professional environment separate from home life, ideal for remote workers or freelancers seeking a dedicated workspace.
Garden Gyms
Custom-built garden gyms offer privacy and convenience, featuring insulation for year-round use and durable flooring for equipment. Clients can personalise layouts to include storage, mirrors, or climate control, creating a motivating fitness space just steps from their home without the need for external gym memberships.

Questions
Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
Most garden rooms don't require planning permission if under 2.5m height and covering less than 50% of your garden. We assist with applications if needed.
What is the cost of a garden room?
Prices start at £1,900 per square metre for soundproof rooms. A free consultation provides a tailored quote based on size, design, and customisations.
Are there any showrooms to view?
We don't have a traditional showroom, but happy customers offer viewings of their completed garden rooms by appointment.
How long does installation take?
Installation timelines vary with project complexity, but we prioritise minimal disruption and provide clear schedules during consultation.
What differentiates garden rooms from garden pods?
Garden rooms are permanent, larger structures with custom designs, while pods are smaller, often prefabricated and less durable.
How effective is the soundproofing?
Our soundproof rooms achieve a 38 dB reduction using advanced materials like acoustic glass and dual-density plasterboard, ideal for noise-sensitive environments.
