Garden Rooms &
Offices in Somerset
A garden room shouldn’t be a seasonal luxury; it should be a functional, year-round extension of your living or working space. We build architectural-grade garden rooms and offices in Somerset and across the South West.
Our Garden Room Services
We apply the same structural principles to our garden rooms in Somerset as
we do to a full house extension. We focus on permanent foundations, high-performance
insulation, and structural integrity that adds long-term value to your property.

Bespoke Home Offices
We build professional, quiet workspaces designed for year-round remote work. These are fully integrated with your home’s electrical system and include high-speed data cabling, professional lighting, and climate control.

Garden Studios
& Gyms
Whether you need a creative studio or a private fitness suite or gym, we can provide the perfect space. Our designs can include reinforced flooring, acoustic insulation for soundproofing, and durable internal finishes.

Insulated Guest Annexes
When you need extra living space for guests or family, we build guest annexes to the highest standards. These buildings focus on superior damp-proofing and thermal performance, ensuring a warm and comfortable environment.

Storage & Utility Rooms
If you need to combine a workspace with practical storage, we can design split-use buildings for your garden. These allow for a high-finish office on one side and a secure, weather-proof utility or storage area on the other.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most garden rooms fall under Permitted Development, meaning you won’t need formal planning permission as long as the building meets certain height and size criteria (usually under 2.5m tall if placed within 2m of a boundary).
However, rules differ for Listed Buildings or homes in Conservation Areas. We assess this during our initial site visit to ensure your build is fully compliant.
Yes. Unlike standard timber summer houses, we build to house-extension standards. By using high-performance foil insulation, double glazing, and professional heating systems, we ensure the room remains as warm and comfortable as your main house, even in the middle of winter.
A bespoke garden room typically takes between 4 to 6 weeks to complete. This includes everything from the initial groundworks and utility trenching to the final internal joinery and electrical fit-out. Because we use our own 20-strong direct team, the work is continuous and doesn’t rely on outside subcontractors.
Yes. A permanent, high-spec garden office is a significant asset. By adding habitable, year-round square footage, you are increasing the market appeal of your home – especially for the modern “work-from-home” buyer. Because our rooms are built on solid foundations with professional finishes, they are seen as a long-term property investment rather than a temporary structure.
Need More Than Just a Garden Room?
If you require a more permanent increase in square footage, we specialise in full house extensions that blend perfectly with your existing property.
Based in Yeovil, we’re perfectly positioned to serve residential clients across the region.

Decades of Happy Clients
We’re incredibly proud of the reputation we’ve built over the last 35+ years.
Here’s a glimpse of what our customers have to say about working with our team:
Doing whole house renovation for us after the fire. Really good company, work so far been of really good quality, fantastic communication from Kevin and Neil – always on hand to help, answer phone and emails promptly, hard working and helpful.
