Question 3

Will my garden room require planning permission or building regulations?

Accepted Answer

Under permitted development rules most garden rooms do not require planning permission or building regulations if they are:
 
1.  Under 30m2 in floor space
2.  With a pitched roof under 4m in height
3.  The wall size is under 3m high
4.  Situated within 2m of a boundary wall for pitched roofs and 1m for flat roofs
5.  To the rear of the front elevation of the building
6.  Not within a conservation area
7.  That the building is not to be used as a dwelling or permanent accommodation
 
We recommend that you use these as guidelines and complete your own checks with your local council if the building would be allowed without planning permission under permitted development.

Question 4

How long does the installation take?

Accepted Answer

Installation will vary depending on the final size and specification of the building but as a guide it will be between 4-6 days to fully install and finish the build.
 
This is assuming that the concrete base is in place and that there are no access issues to the site.

Question 5

What electrics are included in the price and can you install the mains connection?

Accepted Answer

Each building will include its own electrical package depending on the style and size but as a guide the buildings will include the following as standard:
 
Central lights to compliment the style of the building
Wall lights to compliment the style of the building 
Outdoor lights x 2
Feature light switch 
Double sockets x 5 
Distribtuion board with feature cover
 
Our price includes all second fix electrics and electrical certificate sign off by our qualified electrician.  Normally you would get the electrical cable installed from the mains when the concrete pad is installed but we could carry this out if necessary and you are in the area that our electrician covers.

Question 6

Can I add additional lights and sockets or change the position of them?

Accepted Answer

We supply a good selection of lighting so you should not require any additional lights but if you do or would like them in a different position then this is possible.   Additional lights and sockets are charged for but moving the sockets or lights there would be no charge.

Question 7

Can I get an internet or aerial connection within the garden room?

Accepted Answer

We can include an aerial and socket connection within the garden building.
 
We would have to investigate if you could get an internet connection depending on where your building is to be placed and whether you could utilise wireless connection from the house.  If hard wiring is required for internet connection you would need to arrange this separately with your supplier and we could put in an internet socket within the walls.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

The buildings come complete with insulation with the walls, floor and ceiling.  The specification is as follows:

Question 10

How can I heat the garden building?

Accepted Answer

If you are planning to use the building in colder months then it would be advisable to add a heat source.
 
We can offer prices for installing electric radiators and electric underfloor heating.  Log burners can also be added to the building but would need to be supplied and fitted by a specialist fitter as there are specific chimney requirements within a timber building without a brick chimney.

Question 11

Please contact us if you wish to arrange a site visit to discuss our buildings and what we can offer in more detail and to assess the suitablity of your site for the building.

Accepted Answer

Please contact us to arrange to view a built garden room.  We currently have the pitched roof building available to view in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

Question 13

What maintenance will the room and cladding require after installation?

Accepted Answer

The building interior comes completely finished and painted and should not require any more than touching up when necessary.  We will supply touch up paint free of charge.
 
The oak exterior is hardwood and so does not require any treatment.  The oak will weather to a soft silver colour or you can apply a uv protection treatment which will help prevent weathering and keep the colour that it currently has.
