Garden rooms: South Manchester, Cheshire & Derbyshire

Q: Do I need planning permission for a garden room?

Most garden rooms fall under permitted development rights and don't require planning permission. We'll guide you through the planning process and local building regulations to make sure everything's fully compliant.

Q: How long does installation take?

Installation times vary depending on the size and specification of your garden room. Once we've surveyed your outdoor space, we'll give you a clear timeline so you know exactly what to expect.

Q: Can I use a garden room as a home office?

Absolutely. A garden room makes an excellent home office or dedicated workspace, giving you separation from the main house while staying close to home. It's one of the most popular uses we see, and we can give you space sockets, electricity and lighting so you are good to go.

Q: Are garden rooms energy efficient?

Yes. With quality insulation, double glazing and optional heating, our garden rooms are designed to be energy efficient and comfortable all year round – keeping running costs sensible.

Q: Where do you install garden rooms?

We install garden rooms across Stockport, Hazel Grove, Marple, Bramhall, Cheadle and throughout Cheshire and Greater Manchester. Pop into our Hazel Grove showroom for ideas and friendly advice.

A garden room is a standalone new structure built in your outdoor space, offering extra room for whatever you need. Whether you're after a home office, guest room or quiet retreat, we tailor yours to suit. We can fit your new garden room with full electricity and lighting.

What is a garden room?

A garden room is a standalone garden building that provides usable living space separate from your main house. It’s often used as a garden office, garden studio, gym or guest room.

Unlike log cabins or basic garden buildings, our elegant garden rooms are built to last with proper insulation, heating and glazing, so they feel like a natural extension of your home all year round.
