WALLS A sturdy 75mm x 50mm (70mm x 45mm finished) joinery grade frame – diagonally braced – is protected with a VPL vapour barrier and clad externally with a top grade of 19mm (15mm finished) Redwood T&G Shiplap or T&G Loglap to suit. The exterior receives two coats of Sadolin Superdec in your choice of colour to give a contemporary style and to protect the timber from the elements. Internally we fit the highest specification insulation – 50mm Celotex/Kingspan foil-backed PIR – between the framing and skin the interior with a 9mm MDF primed lining to which we apply two coats of emulsion paint in white or magnolia.
FLOOR A heavy duty 22mm Caberboard (moisture-resistant particle board) provides a strong and robust flat surface atop a generous 100mm x 50mm (95mm x 45mm) pressure treated floor frame. For insulation purposes we insulate between the floor joists and we finish the interior with an 8mm laminate floor manufactured by Kronospan to ensure that you have a hard-wearing, practical and easy to clean floor area.
ROOF All apex roof buildings come with long-lasting decorative felt tiles (in a choice of green, red, grey or black) as standard whilst roofs with an option of a warm and natural cedar shingle roof available. Roofs on pent buildings are covered in a heavy duty polyester based rolled roofing felt. Like the rest of the building, the roof will be insulated with 50mm Celotex/Kingspan and lined internally with 9mm MDF.
GUTTERING
Black PVC gutters and downpipes are fitted as standard in order to harvest the rainwater run-off whilst protecting the building.
HEIGHTS
By their bespoke nature all building heights can vary but our standard design would see a generous clear internal height – shown below – whilst remaining below the critical 2.5m height restriction imposed when installing a building under Permitted Development. Please note that these are indicative dimensions which may vary depending upon building design and roof covering:
Ickenham and Wimbledon Apex models:
Eaves height: Internally 2.02m (80”) Externally 2.28m (90”)
Ridge height: Internally 2.21m (87”) Externally 2.47m (97”)
Richmond Pent models:M
Low wall height: Internally 1.95m (77”) Externally 2.21m (87”)
High wall height: Internally 2.08m (82”) Externally (to top of roof canopy) 2.47m (97”).
DOORS & WINDOWS We fit all buildings with high specification PVCu doors and windows as standard. These are similar to those fitted in modern residential properties and features include multi chamber frame profiles, draught excluders and a high standard of ironmongery. All glass within the doors and windows are 28mm sealed units and there is a wide range of colours available (see below) at no extra cost.
ALL YEAR ROUND USE With the highest specification throughout this is truly a year-round building which will be every bit as comfortable as your home itself. The double glazed windows and Celotex/Kingspan insulation within the walls and roof ensure that the building is warm in winter and cool in the summer.
Our Regent Garden Rooms add an extra dimension to your home allowing you to move your office or hobby room out of the house and into fresh, new surroundings. Built to your own design it is guaranteed to be a productive environment for working from home or ideal as a place to inspire you whilst you undertake your favourite leisure activity. Whichever use you put the building to – the options are only limited by your imagination – it will always provide an appealing light and warm interior which is comfortable for year round use.
All buildings will feature residential quality PVCu doors and windows with 28mm double glazed sealed units – manufactured by market-leading Veka – with the frames coming in a choice of 14 different colours (see overleaf). Externally the exterior of your building will be painted in your choice of any colour from the Sadolin Superdec range. The building will be insulated to walls and roof using Celotex/Kingspan – and under the floor using Jablite – to ensure that you are comfortable year-round – before being lined internally with a decorative T&G style MDF finish. Prior to handover we will lay a good quality laminate flooring and the walls will receive two coats of emulsion (choice of White or Magnolia colour) leaving the building ready for immediate occupation.
We pride ourselves on the outstanding quality of our garden rooms and garden offices. Our personal service and customer care are second to none; why not pop in to our Sutton Green display centre to view examples of this range and to talk through the options. Your home may just thank you!

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.
Insulating a garden room will make it useful all year round and comfortable.
