Garden rooms are more popular than ever in the UK, and 16% of homeowners want to install one to use at their leisure. It’s proving to be a beneficial investment for the following reasons:
- Add more garden space to your home with an outdoor room
- Far more cost-effective and less disruptive than building an extension
- Build the ideal home office or workshop free from distractions
- Encourages you and your family to spend more time outdoors in your garden
- Increases property value by adding more space and improving the aesthetics
- Offers the flexibility to design a room around your needs
- Enables you to work from home with a dedicated space away from your house.
As you can see, many people opt for timber-framed garden buildings because they hold serious advantages. Few things can rival a garden room like this if you want affordable and cost-effective home improvements.

Help is just a click away.
Before purchasing a building for extra garden office space, ensure you check planning permission regulations and familiarise yourself with foundation construction fundamentals. You can find helpful articles on our website that will guide you through these issues. Once you have addressed these aspects and established your new office, you might consider investigating heating options and condensation control methods. We offer assistance on these matters as well.

1. What is a Garden Room?
A garden room is a standalone structure designed to be positioned in a residential garden. It provides additional living or storage space that seamlessly blends the indoors with the outdoors. A garden room is versatile, providing plenty of options for how you'd like to use the space. Whether you need a home office, a gym, a games room or a tranquil retreat, a garden room offers a stylish and functional extension of your home. At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, we can build and install garden rooms for you that are crafted with premium materials, insulated for year-round comfort, and customised to meet your specific functional and aesthetic needs.

2. How to Insulate a Garden Room?
Insulating a garden room will make it useful all year round and comfortable. 1st Choice Leisure Buildings provides many garden room options that have insulation already included, but if you're looking to enhance or
add insulation to a garden room that's already built, here's how to do it:
- Roof: Insulate your roof using rigid insulation boards or insulation rolls, making sure to maintain proper ventilation to prevent condensation.
- Walls: Install insulation in your walls by adding high-quality insulation boards or rolls within the walls. Make sure that they fit snugly between the timber frames.
- Floor: Lay batts or insulation boards under the floor, covering them with a vapour barrier to prevent moisture build-up.
- Doors and Windows: The doors and windows are where you may lose the warm or cool air from your garden room, so it's a good idea to prioritise the insulation of doors and windows. Opt for double-glazed windows and insulated doors to minimise heat loss and maintain a consistent temperature.

3. Do I Need Planning Permissions?
Usually, garden rooms don't require
planning permission as long as they meet specific criteria. This includes being a single story with a maximum height of 2.5 metres and must be located within two metres of a boundary. However, different restrictions and permissions may be required if your garden room is larger, situated in a protected area or intended for business use. Essentially, different areas have different requirements in terms of planning permissions, so we recommend checking with your local planning authority or consulting with our experts to ensure that your garden room is in compliance with all regulations.
