Usually not. Most garden rooms fall under permitted development, provided they're single storey, under 2.5m tall (within 2m of a boundary) and don't cover more than half the garden. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, different rules apply — we can advise on your specific situation before any work begins.

Fitted furniture is typically 4- 6 weeks from survey to installation, depending on the workshop schedule. Garden rooms and decking projects usually take 10 - 14 days on site once materials are ready. We'll give you a realistic timeline with your quote — and we stick to it.

It depends on the project. For decking and outdoor structures we favour oak and other durable hardwoods that weather beautifully and last decades. For fitted furniture we work with a range of hardwoods, veneers and painted finishes to suit your home and budget. We're always happy to talk through the options.

We're based in Frome and work across Somerset and west Wiltshire — including Warminster, Trowbridge, Bradford-on-Avon, Bath, Shepton Mallet, Wells and the surrounding villages.
