Garden Room Builders in Chalfont St Giles
We design and build garden rooms in Chalfont St Giles, Jordans, Seer Green and the southern side of Little Chalfont.
John Milton finished Paradise Lost in the village, at the cottage that now bears his name. A garden room gives you your own quiet place to work, write or paint.
We fit the insulation, glazing and electrics ourselves, and build sheds and outside storage for the rest of the garden.
The Chiltern Open Air Museum at Newland Park rebuilds historic buildings from across the Chilterns, from barns to a 1940s prefab. A garden room is a modern take on the same idea: a building made to suit its setting.
The village has 33 listed buildings in its conservation area, including Milton’s Cottage, and Jordans is a conservation area too.

What Will You Use Your Garden Room For?
A new garden room gives you extra space without moving house or building an extension. Here are the ways our customers use theirs.

- Visit and designWe look at the garden and talk through how you will use the room. We build it to your exact specification and how you plan to use it, and our experience means we can help guide the design.
- The baseA level, solid base that stays dry and will not shift, so the doors and windows keep opening freely.
- Fully insulatedInsulated floor, walls and roof, with double-glazed doors, so the room is warm in winter and stays comfortable in summer.
- Power and lightingWe fit the electrics too: sockets, lighting and heating, so the room is ready to use the day we finish.
- The outdoor space around itPaths, decking, patios and planting, so the room sits in the garden rather than on it.

Garden Room Questions from Chalfont St Giles
Which garden room suits a Chalfont St Giles garden?
A cedar-clad garden room sits well in a historic village of Tudor houses and red brick, softened with planting around it.
Do conservation rules affect garden rooms in Chalfont St Giles?
Back garden rooms are usually permitted development, but the village and Jordans are conservation areas with many listed buildings, where the rules are tighter. We check first.
Do you build garden rooms in the villages around Chalfont St Giles?
Yes. As well as Chalfont St Giles itself, we cover Jordans, Seer Green, Three Households, Little Chalfont, Chalfont St Peter, Chalfont Grove, Stratton Chase and The Vache, and the rest of the HP8 postcode area.
How long does it take to build a garden room in Chalfont St Giles?
It depends on the size of the room, what goes inside it and whether we are building paths, decking or a patio around it. Once we have measured up, your quote includes a timescale, so you know how long we will be on site before we start.
Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
Usually not. Most garden rooms count as permitted development if they are single storey, no higher than 2.5 metres within 2 metres of a boundary, not in front of the house, not covering more than half the garden and not used as a bedroom. The rules are tighter for listed buildings, in conservation areas and in the Chilterns National Landscape. We check this before we start.
Does a garden room need building regulations approval?
Usually not, as long as nobody sleeps in it. Under 15 square metres it is normally exempt. Between 15 and 30 square metres it is normally exempt if it is at least 1 metre from the boundary or built mostly from non-combustible materials. Electrical work must still meet the regulations.
Can I use a garden room all year round?
Yes. With insulation in the floor, walls and roof, double-glazed doors and heating, a fully insulated garden room stays warm in winter, so a home office or gym works in every season.
Do you build sheds and garden storage too?
Yes. As well as garden rooms, we build sheds and outside storage for bikes, tools, bins and furniture, sized to fit your garden. See garden storage above.
How much does a new garden room cost in Chalfont St Giles?
It depends on the size, the finish and what goes inside, such as power, lighting and heating. We need to see the garden before we can give you a price, so we offer a free, no-obligation quote. Call 01494 812249 or use the form at the top of the page.
