What we mean by garden rooms
The bit beneath the surface.
A garden room is only worth building if it's used every week of the year. That means proper insulation, proper electrics, and proper detailing - not a glorified shed with double doors.
Built to live in year-round
Insulated floor, walls and roof to current Building Regs standards, double-glazed openings, certified electrics. Warm in February, cool in August.
Detailed like a small building
Considered cladding - cedar, painted weatherboard, composite - chosen to sit with the house rather than shout at it. Hidden gutters, proper drips, joinery that ages well.
One team, base to handover
Foundations, frame, build, electrics and surrounding landscaping by us. No subcontractor carousel, no awkward gap between trades.
Why this works in Farnham
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Farnham garden rooms benefit from sympathetic detailing. Painted weatherboard, low eaves and slim glazing tend to sit better with period and conservation-adjacent properties than dark cedar and modern composite.
Some properties around Castle Street and Upper Hale sit within or close to the Farnham conservation area. We're used to detailing builds - materials, eaves heights and finishes - so they sit quietly within the setting.
- Older boundary walls - We protect existing brickwork during excavation rather than treating it as something to work around at the end.
- Mature root zones - Tree report where it's warranted, hand-dug foundations within protection areas, and layouts designed around the canopy.
- Conservation sensitivities - Materials and eaves heights chosen to sit quietly within the setting; planning advice given honestly when an application is genuinely needed.

Upper Hale · GU9
Painted timber studio set into mature planting.
An Upper Hale family wanted a quiet studio that didn't shout. Painted timber weatherboard, low-eaves profile, planted into existing yew so the building reads as a small outbuilding rather than a new arrival.

Common questions
What Farnham clients usually ask about garden rooms.
We're in or near the Farnham conservation area - is a garden room possible?+
In most cases yes, often within permitted development. We advise honestly on the first visit and only recommend a planning application when it genuinely benefits the project.
How does the build affect the rest of the garden?+
We protect access routes, lay temporary boards across lawns and finish with the surrounding landscaping ourselves - so the room arrives as part of a finished garden, not a building site.
What's the realistic budget?+
Most insulated garden rooms sit between £18,000 and £45,000 depending on size, glazing and finish. We're open about costs from the first visit.
Do I need planning permission?+
For most gardens, no - outbuildings under 2.5m at the eaves and within size limits fall under permitted development. We walk you through it honestly on the first visit and only recommend an application when it genuinely opens up something better.
