Garden Room Builders in Gerrards Cross
We design and build garden rooms in Gerrards Cross, from the Orchehill Estate and the roads south of the railway to Dukes Wood, Camp Road and Austenwood Common.
With the Chiltern line into London, a home office in the garden makes the days you work from home easier, away from the noise of the house.
Our design and build garden rooms come from one team, along with the paths, decking and planting around them.
Much of the town was built after the railway arrived in 1906, and its Arts and Crafts houses suit a timber-clad garden room that weathers quietly among the trees.
The Gerrards Cross Common and Centenary conservation areas cover much of the town, and their appraisal treats hedges and green frontages as part of its character.

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 Gerrards Cross
Where should a garden room go in a large Gerrards Cross garden?
With spacious plots, a garden room can sit at the far end of the garden as a quiet home office, or closer to the house as a gym or bar opening onto the patio.
Do conservation rules affect garden rooms in Gerrards Cross?
Much of the town is in the Gerrards Cross Common and Centenary conservation areas, where a garden room to the side of the house needs planning permission. Back garden rooms are usually fine, but we check first.
Do you build garden rooms in the villages around Gerrards Cross?
Yes. As well as Gerrards Cross itself, we cover Chalfont St Peter, Chalfont Common, Horn Hill, Tatling End, Austenwood Common, Maltmans Green, Oak End, Bulstrode, Dukes Wood and Fulmer, and the rest of the SL9 postcode area.
How long does it take to build a garden room in Gerrards Cross?
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 Gerrards Cross?
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.
