Service Overview

## Garden Rooms —The Brief, In Plain English.

### What It Is
A built-on-site garden room — concrete or screw-pile foundation, insulated timber frame, breathable membrane, larch / cedar / composite cladding, EPDM warm-roof, triple-glazed door and windows, mains electrics on a dedicated circuit from the house consumer unit, internal plaster or panel finish, heating sized for the floor area.

### Who It&#x27;s For
Homeworkers needing a real office with the door that closes; anyone wanting a gym, yoga studio, painting / music space or teenager&#x27;s den; clients adding lettable annexe space (Permitted Development limits apply); families wanting more usable square metres without the cost or planning of an extension.

### When You Need It
When the kitchen table office isn&#x27;t working any more, when the garage is full, or when the spare room has become a bedroom and there&#x27;s nowhere else for the home gym. Built any time of year — winter slows the foundation pour but rarely stops it.

### Why It Matters
Garden rooms either become the most-used room in the property or rot in the corner of the garden inside five years. The difference is the build spec: proper foundation, full insulation envelope, EPDM warm roof, mains electrics — not a glorified shed with a heater.

What Happens If You Wait

## The Cost OfDoing Nothing.
Cheap garden rooms fail predictably. The roof leaks at the parapet, the floor goes cold, the cladding twists, and the electrics were always undersized.

###  Risks Of Ignoring It
→Single-skin uninsulated build — usable in summer, unusable November to March.
- →Felt or torch-on roof on a flat deck without falls — pools water, fails in three winters.
- →Cladding fitted direct to sheathing with no ventilation cavity — moisture trapped, boards rot from behind.
- →Spur off a 13A socket for power — trips constantly under heater or PC load, no certificate.
- →No DPC or insulated floor — cold strikes up, condensation under furniture.

### Common Mistakes Customers Make

- ×Buying a flat-pack from the cheapest online supplier and self-erecting — site spec rarely matches PD rules.
- ×Going under-spec on insulation to save a few hundred pounds — costs more in heating across one winter.
- ×Skipping the dedicated circuit from the consumer unit — power problems forever.
- ×Building closer than 2m to the boundary with combustible cladding — Permitted Development breach.

 Full Service Area Map 

### Home Office Garden Rooms
The most common build — typically 3m x 4m, fully insulated, mains electrics, data run from house, heating sized for the floor area. Built to use 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, every week of the year.

### Garden Gyms &amp; Studios
Reinforced floor for racks and free weights, electrics sized for treadmills / cable machines, mirror wall, ventilation specced for sweat and moisture. Studios for yoga, music, painting and dance all built to the same standard.

### Annexes &amp; Multi-Generational Use
Larger garden rooms with kitchenette and shower room — note Permitted Development limits on independent living. We tell you straight at feasibility what&#x27;s permissible without full planning.

### Foundations &amp; Site Conditions
Concrete pad and ring beam for typical Manchester clay; screw piles on tree-root influence zones or for minimum-impact installation; raft slab on softer ground. Engineer&#x27;s design where the site warrants it.

### Permitted Development &amp; Planning
Most garden rooms fall under Permitted Development — height limits, volume limits and boundary distances apply. Lawful Development Certificate strongly recommended for resale. We confirm at survey.

Questions

## StraightAnswers.
Cost, timeline, guarantees, lifespan, emergency availability — the questions everyone asks, answered before you call.

Ask Yours 

### How much does a garden room cost in Manchester?
+Greater Manchester 2026: typical 3m x 4m insulated garden office £18,000–£28,000 including foundation, mains electrics and finished interior. Larger or higher-spec studios £28,000–£45,000. Fixed itemised written quote.

### Do I need planning permission?
+Usually no — most fall under Permitted Development (height under 2.5m within 2m of boundary, volume limits, no sleeping accommodation as independent dwelling). A Lawful Development Certificate is recommended for resale. We confirm at survey.

### How long does it take to build?
+Typically 3–5 weeks from foundation to handover, depending on size, cladding and ground conditions.

### Can you wire it into the house properly?
+Yes — dedicated circuit from the house consumer unit, RCD-protected, armoured cable run buried to depth, NAPIT-registered specialist with certificate issued on completion.

### Is it warm enough to use in winter?
+Yes — full insulation envelope (floor, walls, roof), triple-glazed door and windows, heating sized for the floor area. Most clients use a panel heater or air-con as the heat source.

### Can I have a toilet or kitchenette in it?
+Yes — drainage and water run from the house, tanked wet zone, certified electrics. Note that adding sleeping accommodation with full kitchen and bathroom can take the building out of Permitted Development.

### Do you guarantee the work?
+Yes — up to 5 years on internal renovation defects, written into the contract. EPDM roof carries a 20+ year material warranty.

### Do you cover all of Greater Manchester and Cheshire?
+Yes — Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Cheshire and surrounding towns.

### What cladding options do you offer?
+Larch (silvers naturally), cedar (warm tone, holds colour with treatment), composite (low-maintenance), painted timber. We show samples at survey.
