  • Installation of Sewage Pumping Station if the fall is not adequate
  • Electric connections from your existing fuse board to the new building

The Foundations

Our garden rooms are built on a reinforced concrete foundation. We believe this is the best method to build a permanent garden room, you wouldn’t build a house or a rear extension on anything other than a strip foundation and concrete slab, so why compromise with your new garden room building.

We protect your garden by laying trench covers before we start the ground works.

What are the advantages of a concrete base :-

  • A reduced dig creates an internal floor to ceiling height of 2.15 metres
  • There is no void under the building avoiding nesting rats and foxes
  • No decking is required outside the room to cover the void area, so if you wish you can step straight from your garden room onto the lawn, this saves you the additional expense of decking and avoids ongoing maintenance of the skirting around the building and the decked area.
  • As there are no pockets of cold air under the building there is less heat loss.
  • A great solution for a site on a steep gradient.
  • A concrete base, we believe this is the best form of construction for a permanent building.
  • Reinforcing the foundation with rebar has a high compressive strength.
  • Great for rooms which require a stable base ie. gym, weight training, dance studio – a concrete base avoids the bouncy floor effect.

You will never see decking around an Executive Garden Room, our rooms are 100mm above ground level so you can step directly out onto grass, paving or stone. Why pay extra for decking when it has a short life span and becomes an ice rink in the winter.

The Floor

On top of the concrete slab, we lay a further damp proof membrane and 100mm of insulation, moisture resistant chipboard and finished with your choice of flooring.

We offer a variety of choices of flooring, Quickstep Laminate, tiles or recycled rubber tiles suitable for a gym.

The Walls

Choose from a maintenance free composite Cladding which will not fade, it is a practical, maintenance free, contemporary product which comes in various colours.

Alternatively we offer Western Red Cedar or Abodo timber cladding which is harvested from sustainable plantation forests and is the only timber that can be sold as carbon negative.

Fire safety is extremely important, if the building is to be used for sleeping accommodation or within a metre of the boundary then additional controls are put in place to adhere to building regulations.

The walls are 200mm thick and contain a total of 140mm insulation and sheathed in 18mm OSB (3) structural board, we use a warm frame construction method in which 50mm of the insulation is on the outside of the building, this ensures that the timber frame remains within the warm envelope. This also offers higher thermal mass and excellent heat retention.

We only use treated CLS timber which has been structurally graded and pressure impregnated with Tanalith E treatment for external use.We offer the highest specification wall make up in the garden room industry.

The walls are then finished internally with 12.5mm plasterboard which is plastered and painted with 3 coats of vinyl matt paint, this created a contemporary feel with no ugly cover strips on show.

The Roof

Our roofs are based on a flat roof design, they are built with a warm deck construction.

As we build our rooms are built from scratch on site using a substantial traditional timber frame system, our structure can take the weight of a torch-on bitumen roof system. We are one of only a few garden room suppliers who use this long-established roofing covering system.

The roof is finished with 2 layers of torch on mineral felt totalling 8mm thick.

The roof structure contains a total of 90mm PIR insulation board, 18mm OSB (3) structural board, 12.5mm plasterboard which is plastered and painted with 3 coats of vinyl matt paint.

All our flat roofs have a 17mm per metre fall to comply with Building Regulations.

We can install various sizes of Velux Roof Lights, these can be fixed or opening, controlled by remote and include rain sensors, blinds can also be fitted within the unit, especially useful if the garden room is to be used for sleeping accommodation.

We install guttering to the back of your garden room to a single downpipe to a water butt.

The roof has a 10 year guarantee, although will last a minimum of 30 years.

Sedum roofs can be installed, for them to have longevity they need to be installed correctly.

Windows & Doors

We offer a bespoke service when it comes to the design of the building including the window and doors, we offer 2 options either quality uPVC in various colours or aluminium frames.

Security

  • Doors are fitted with a multi-point lock and conform to PAS 23 & PAS 24 performance standards.
  • Windows are fitted with shootbolt locking.
  • We have various colours of door/window handles to choose from.

We offer single and french doors in uPVC and bi-folds and sliding doors in aluminium.

Double glazed sealed units are energy A rated using Pilkington K glass argon gas filled with a 1.5wk/m U value.

We offer integral blinds within the sealed units for a dust free solution, these are excellent for controlling the light into the building in addition to providing privacy.

Electrics

All our garden rooms come fully wired and connection from your house to the consumer unit in the garden room comes as standard, no outside contractors are required.

On completion of your garden room a Part P certificate is supplied to you and your local authority.

The following items are included in our price :  Integral consumer unit, dimmer switch, power sockets,  LED down lights (internal & external), smoke alarm, external security light with PIR.

All items listed in your quotation are positioned to your requirements.

U-Values

The u-value is the rate at which heat is lost through the floor, walls, roof and glazing.

Each element in the construction such as the plasterboard, insulation, and cladding has a u-value.

The lower the number, the more efficient.

The best quality and long term value garden rooms should be built to Building Regulation standards.

The 2010 Building Regulations state that the u-values for new buildings should be:-

Floor 0.22   Walls 0.28   Roof 0.18   Windows/Doors 1.8
