The rooms
Three garden rooms, and exactly what you get
Three sizes we’ve built often enough to price to the pound, and any size in between made to order. Every price includes VAT, the foundations, the electrics and putting it up.
| Room | Size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| The Nook | 3.0 × 2.4 m | from £14,600 |
| The Study | 4.0 × 3.0 m | from £21,700 |
| The Studio | 5.4 × 3.6 m | from £32,700 |
| Any size in between | 2.4 to 7.0 m wide | made to order |
Side by side
All three, drawn to the same scale
Every room is 2.5 m high, which is what lets it sit near a boundary without planning permission. The figure on the right is 1.75 m tall.
4.0 × 3.0 m · 12.0 m²
The Study
from £21,700
Two desks, or a desk and a sofa.
5.4 × 3.6 m · 19.4 m²
The Studio
from £32,700
A work table and room to step back.
3.0 × 2.4 m · 7.2 m²

In every price
Twelve things you don’t pay extra for
The same list applies to all three rooms and to anything made to order. If it’s on here, it’s in the from-price and in the calculator’s guide price.
-
Foundations
Ground screws or concrete pads, chosen for your ground. There is no slab to pour and no skip on the drive.
-
Insulated floor, walls and roof
Timber panels made in our workshop, with 100 mm of insulation in the walls and 125 mm in the floor and roof.
-
Larch cladding
Vertical boards on all four sides. Leave them to weather to silver, or oil them once a year to keep the colour.
-
A 2.4 m sliding glazed door
Double glazed, with a multi-point lock and dark grey aluminium frames.
-
One opening window
Double glazed and lockable, on whichever wall you want it.
-
A plastered and painted interior
Skimmed walls and ceiling, painted white or one colour of your choosing.
-
An oak-effect floor
Hard-wearing boards over the insulated floor, with skirting to match the walls.
-
Sockets and lighting
Six double sockets, dimmable ceiling lights, an outside light by the door and a data cable back to your router.
-
A consumer unit
The room has its own, so a tripped kettle doesn’t take the house with it.
-
Connection to the house supply
Armoured cable laid in a trench by our own electrician, then tested and certified. The first 20 m of cable is included.
-
Building-control paperwork
Where your room needs approval, we make the application and deal with the inspector.
-
Clearing up
Every offcut leaves with us, and the lawn is left as close to how we found it as nine days of boots allow.
Every room also comes with a ten-year structural guarantee, in writing, and a visit after its first winter to check the doors and ease anything that has settled.
Extras
What you can add, and what each costs
These are the same figures the calculator uses. Cladding is priced as a percentage because a bigger room has more wall to cover; everything else is a fixed sum.
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Larch cladding Pale gold when new, silver within a couple of years. | Included |
| Cedar cladding Warmer and redder, and very stable. Needs nothing doing to it. | Adds 8% |
| Composite cladding Dark grey boards that never need oiling. Good near the sea. | Adds 5% |
| Sliding door Two glazed panels, 2.4 m wide in all. One slides behind the other. | Included |
| Bifold doors Three panels that fold right back, so the room opens onto the garden. | Adds £1,450 |
| Extra | Price |
|---|---|
| Heating and cooling unit Wall-mounted. Warms the room in ten minutes in January and cools it in July. | £1,650 |
| Extra window A second opening window, on any wall. | £650 |
| Decking along the front Larch boards, 1.2 m deep, across the width of the room. | £320 a metre |
| Acoustic insulation upgrade Denser insulation and a second layer of plasterboard, for music or for quiet. | £1,100 |
| Sedum green roof A living roof, for when the room is overlooked from the house. | £1,900 |
| Toilet and basin In its own cubicle, plumbed to your drains. | £4,800 |

What isn’t in the price
- A cable run of more than 20 m
- The first 20 m is in the price. Beyond that it’s £28 a metre.
- Clearing the site
- Taking out a shed, a tree stump or an old concrete base is priced in your fixed quote.
- Planning applications
- Most rooms don’t need one. If yours does, we prepare and submit it for £480 plus the council’s fee.
- Furniture
- The plans show how it could be laid out. The desk is yours to find.
