Why us
Why Tyne and Wear homeowners choose our garden rooms
Built on site, not assembled
Which means it can be shaped to your garden and your levels rather than the other way round.
Insulated to habitable standard
So it is usable in January, which is the entire point of paying for a room rather than a shed.
Electrics done properly
Armoured cable, buried to depth, and certified — not an extension lead run down the garden.
What it is
Garden Rooms, built to last
Insulated, foundationed garden rooms for offices, gyms and studios — built on site, not delivered flat-packed. The difference between a garden room and an expensive shed is the base, the insulation and the way water is kept out of it. All three cost money and none of them show in a photograph.
- Ground survey and concrete or screw pile base
- Timber frame, insulated to habitable standard
- Cladding, roofing and rainwater goods
- Electrics run from the house, certified
- Doors, glazing and internal fit-out
- Ground reinstatement and access path
40 years in the trade. Domestic and commercial, across the North East.
Choices
The garden room options we offer
Home office
The most common brief. Power, data, good glazing and enough insulation to work in it all year.
Gym or studio
Needs more attention to the floor build-up and ventilation than an office does.
Garden room with store
Split internally so the mower and the bikes are not in the room you are working in.

Garden room or extension?
A garden room is cheaper per square metre, usually avoids planning, and does not disrupt the house while it is built. What it does not do is add a room to your home in the way an extension does, and it will not always be reflected in the valuation.
If you want somewhere separate to work, it is often the better answer. If you want the house to be bigger, it is not.
Why they work in North East gardens
Long plots are the norm across the region's terraces and semis, and the bottom of a long garden is usually dead space. The climate is the reason to spend on the fabric rather than the fit-out — a room that is cold and damp from November to March gets used for storage, which is an expensive shed.
Looking after your garden room
Clear the gutters, keep the ground clear around the base so air can move under and around it, and re-oil timber cladding every couple of years if you want to keep the colour — left alone, cedar silvers, which many people prefer anyway.

Garden Rooms
Common garden room questions
Usually not, if it is single storey, under 2.5 metres high where it is within two metres of a boundary, and not in front of the house. Conservation areas, listed buildings and any sleeping accommodation change that. We will check your specific plot rather than quote you the general rule.
Only if it is insulated and heated like a room rather than a shed. That means an insulated floor, walls and roof, a proper vapour control layer and glazing that is not throwing all the heat away. This is exactly where cheap garden rooms save their money.
Not always — screw piles are often better on a wet or sloping plot and do far less damage to the garden getting them in. What matters is that the base is engineered for the ground, not that it is a slab.
