A Smarter Alternative to Traditional Extensions in Bath & Wiltshire

All the space you need — without altering your home

Across Bath and Wiltshire, many homeowners are looking for ways to add space without the disruption and complexity of a traditional extension. Altering the structure of a home — particularly in older Bath properties — can feel like a major step, bringing uncertainty, long build times, and significant impact on daily life.

A Detached Garden Room Extension offers a more considered approach. Built alongside your home rather than into it, it creates fully insulated, year-round living space without the need for structural alterations — while still delivering the quality and performance expected from a permanent addition.

A cleaner, lower-disruption way to extend

Because the structure is completely independent, your home remains untouched throughout the build. There is no need for internal demolition, no builders moving through your living space, and no loss of comfort during the process.

This approach is made even more effective through our use of screw pile foundations and an engineered steel system. With no need for heavy excavation or traditional footings, groundworks are faster, cleaner, and far less invasive. The precision of the system allows each project to be installed in a matter of weeks, with a level of predictability that traditional extensions rarely achieve.

Engineered for performance, built to last


What truly sets Sulis Garden Rooms apart is how the structure is built. Instead of relying on conventional timber construction, we use a precision-engineered steel framework combined with insulated steel panels. Our steel construction means we deliver a 20 year warranty, twice that of any timber built garden room, adding lasting value to your home.

This delivers a level of structural accuracy and durability that is difficult to achieve with traditional methods. The panels are manufactured to exact tolerances, creating a highly airtight and thermally efficient building envelope. This means your garden room maintains a comfortable temperature year-round, keeping you cosy through the cold winter months.

The strength of the steel structure also allows for cleaner spans, slimmer profiles, and a more refined architectural finish. Unlike timber, it will not warp, twist, or root over time, ensuring long-term stability and minimal maintenance.

Designed for modern living


The result is a high-quality, standalone space that integrates seamlessly into your lifestyle. Whether used as a home office, guest accommodation, or additional living area, it provides flexibility without permanently altering your property.

That independence also creates a natural separation from the main house, offering a sense of privacy and focus that many homeowners increasingly value.

A better way to extend your home


If you’re considering extending your home in Bath or Wiltshire, this is a smarter, more flexible alternative — one that avoids disruption while delivering a space designed to perform.
