Frequently Asked Questions:

Many Sulis Garden Rooms fall within permitted development rights, so planning permission may not be required. The rules vary depending on the size and position of the building, your property and any local restrictions.

We can advise you during your site survey and, if planning permission is required, manage the application on your behalf.

Yes.
Unlike timber constructed rooms, Sulis Garden Rooms come with a 20 year structural integrity guarantee.

Planning rules can restrict the position, height and size of a garden room. Listed buildings, protected areas, property boundaries and local planning conditions may also affect what is permitted.

We will assess your garden and advise you on the most suitable position.

Yes. Our walls, floors and roofs are insulated to create a comfortable environment throughout the year. Heating options, including electric heating and air conditioning with heating, can be incorporated into the design.

Yes, we are are able to offer a full installation service, enabling you to enjoy your garden room straight away.

We can introduce you to an independent finance partner who specialises in home improvement projects. They will discuss options directly with you and determine suitability.

Yes. We conduct site surveys and design consultations to assess access, levels, ground conditions, services and positioning. This helps us develop the right design for you and provide an accurate quotation.

We provide a 3D graphic mockup of your garden room to help you visualise your design. We can provide a full set of drawings if planning permision is required, at a small additional cost.

Once the design, permissions and foundations are ready, on-site installation is typically completed within a few days. The overall programme depends on the size of the building, access, groundworks, services and finishes.

Yes. Every Sulis Garden Room is designed around your garden, property and intended use. We can tailor the size, shape, layout, glazing, finishes, heating, electrics and internal divisions to suit your requirements.

We would be happy to discuss this option with you. 

Yes. Dividing walls and separate rooms can be incorporated into a bespoke design. We will plan the layout around how you intend to use the space and coordinate the doors, lighting, heating and electrical points.

Underfloor heating can be included in designs, subject to the chosen floor construction and energy requirements. We can also advise on alternative heating options.

Our garden rooms are designed as ancillary spaces such as offices, studios, gyms and retreats. Using one as a separate, self-contained home or permanent residence may require planning permission and building-regulations approval. We can advise you on the requirements before work begins.

Solar panels can be considered, subject to the roof design, structural loading, electrical requirements and any planning restrictions. We can discuss the options during the design stage.

Our construction includes thermal and acoustic insulation, and we can specify enhanced acoustic performance for uses such as music, gyms and workshops. The level of sound reduction depends on the design, glazing, doors, ventilation and internal finishes.

Yes the garden room can be relocated due to our modular construction process, subject to your chosen interior finishes.

With our unique powder coated steel panel finish,  the occasional wash will suffice.  If you have wood detailing we recommend refreshing every 3-10 years depending on your chosen treatment.
