Why a garden room

The middle option, and often the right one

Most people who ask for a conservatory actually want this: the light, without the temperature swings, and without full building work.

A solid insulated roof and a plastered ceiling make it a room rather than a glazed space. Glazing across the garden elevation keeps the daylight and the view that made you want it in the first place.

It costs less than a masonry extension and takes less time, but you can put a sofa and a television in it and use it in January — which is more than most conservatories manage.

  • Insulated roof with a plastered ceiling and downlights
  • Glazed walls and bifold or sliding doors
  • Clad, rendered or brick to suit the house
  • Underfloor heating or radiators as you prefer

Benefits

What a garden room gives you

  • Warm in winter

    An insulated roof and walls, so it holds heat like the rest of the house.

  • Light where it matters

    Glazing concentrated on the garden elevation rather than all the way round.

  • Quiet in the rain

    A solid roof takes the drumming out of a downpour entirely.

  • A ceiling you can use

    Plastered and painted, taking downlights, a fan or a speaker.

  • Somewhere for furniture

    Solid walls mean sockets, a radiator and something to put a sofa against.

  • 10 year guarantee

Worth knowing

Where it sits legally

Because the roof is solid and insulated, a garden room attached to the house is normally building regulations work.

That is not a bad thing — it is what makes the room warm enough to use. It does mean footings, insulation to current standards and a sign-off at the end, all of which we handle.

A detached room down the garden is a different question again, with its own rules on size and distance from boundaries. We will tell you which set applies before anything is quoted.

Ask us a question

What is the difference between a garden room and a conservatory?

The roof, mostly. A garden room has an insulated solid roof with a plastered ceiling, so it holds heat and stays quiet in rain. A conservatory is largely glazed overhead unless you specify a warm roof.

Is it cheaper than an extension?

Usually, yes. There is less masonry and a lighter structure, so both the cost and the build time come down — while you still get a room that is warm enough to use all year.

Does it need building regulations approval?

Attached to the house, normally yes, because of the insulated roof and the structure. A detached room down the garden falls under different rules. We settle which applies at survey.

Can I have underfloor heating?

Yes. It suits a garden room particularly well because there is less wall available for radiators once you have glazed the garden elevation.

Can you convert my existing conservatory into one?

Often, yes. Replacing the roof with an insulated warm roof and plastering the ceiling gets you most of the way there, usually onto the existing frames and base.
