Garden Rooms
Create your perfect outdoor space with our bespoke garden rooms. Crafted with precision and style, our garden rooms offer unparalleled functionality and comfort.
Designed to be enjoyed year-round, these fully insulated structures are tailored to your exact specifications. From home offices to relaxation retreats, our custom-built garden rooms are the ideal addition to any property.
The construction of each model is the same, it is just the external overhang that is different.
Our Garden Room Design Process
Designing your dream garden room is easy with our step-by-step process. We guide you every step of the way, ensuring your garden room perfectly complements your space, meets your needs, and fits your budget.
Here at London Timber Buildings, we offer a free, no obligation, site survey to all customers. We feel this is an important part of the decision-making process, to ensure the designated area is suitable and assist you in designing your ideal garden room.
1. Choose your Garden Room Size
Having selected your garden room from the range options above, it is time to plan the size.
Building sizes are based on the external wall dimensions; width x depth, excluding the 500mm overhang and decking step.
We have two height options; 2.5m (falling within permitted development) or up to 2.8m maximum.
2. Doors, Windows & Walls
All garden rooms can be configured to suit your needs.
We offer both Aluminium and uPVC doors and windows, in variety of sizes, styles and colours available.
You can add internal walls to any of our garden rooms to create multi-room buildings. E.g an office and storage space.
3. Pick External Cladding
As standard the prices include 21mm Grade A Larch or Thermowood cladding. There is the option to upgrade to Composite cladding or K-Render, both of which are available in a choice of colours. All cladding options offer minimal maintenance and can be fitted horizontally or vertically.
4. Finalise Internal Finish
All garden rooms include a full plaster finish to the walls and ceiling as standard. If part of your garden room is to be used as storage or a workshop, we can swap the plaster finish to 12mm ply line. We can also reinforce the wall structure with 12mm ply, allowing you to fix to the walls wherever you need to. Choose to ply as many walls as you need.
5. Select your Flooring
Laminate flooring including underlay, and skirting are included in the standard garden room price. Choose between our Grey Oak and Light Hickory.
Also includes primed MDF skirting boards, which are screwed to the walls once the flooring has been laid. This will require customer decoration including filling, sanding and undercoat.
Upgrade Your Electrical Options
External Electrical Connection
Our partnered electrician would be happy to provide you with a quote to connect the Garden Room to your mains supply, or we can leave you to arrange this independently, if preferred.
Internet & Telephone Connection
Should you wish to install a direct internet connection to your Garden Room our partnered electrician would be happy to quote for the inclusion of a data cable.
Air Conditioning Units
We work with a trusted contractor to supply and install an AC/heating unit. Alternatively, we can add an AC isolator, which is in preparation for an AC unit if you would prefer to install this at a later date.
Customise Your Decking
Standard Timber Decking
Our hard-wearing standard timber decking has been tanalised to provide durability. This process involves the wood being pressure treated, forcing the treatment deep into the timber cells. This provides long term protection from rot, fungi and insect attack. With proper maintenance you can expect many years of use out of your timber decking. Pressure treated joists are suitable for both in & out of ground contact and interior & exterior applications.
Upgrade: Timber Yellow Balau Decking
Yellow Balau is a tropical hardwood that offers a unique colour range of golden yellow browns through to pale red browns, which sit beautifully within a natural environment. It is a tight-grained strong timber with an even texture, making it very hard-wearing and durable. Balau is often used in marine construction due to its natural water resistance and anti-slip properties. It also has a natural built-in resistance to fungal decay and insect attack. By looking after your Yellow Balau timber correctly, you can expect it to gradually weather to a silver-grey colour.
Standard Composite Decking
Composite decking creates a contemporary finish to your Garden Room. It is a high-quality, UV-resistant man-made product. It is produced from a combination of recycled hardwood fibres and polymers, along with bonding agents and colour tints. The bonding agent reinforces the wooden components, and the additives improve the decking’s weather resistance. Composite decking is moisture resistant and requires minimal maintenance. It highly durable, whilst being an environmentally conscious option. We offer our composite decking in either a dark charcoal grey or lighter stone-grey colourway.

We would expect our Garden Rooms to have a life expectancy of over thirty years and they come with a ten-year structural warranty, as standard.

No. We only ask that someone is there when the fitters first arrive so you can sign off the exact location of the building in your garden as work commences.
We will assess the access when carrying out your site survey. Generally, we do not need any more than a standard door�s width to reach the build site. Our fitters do not require access to your property, unless the garden can only be reached by going through the house.
The highest point of the building is either 2.5m, or up to 3m, as standard. These heights are chosen to comply with permitted development rights. Bespoke heights are available, if required.

Yes. We can either work alongside your own plumber or we can do this for you. We offer the full service, if required, from drainage and sewage system installation to the fitting of white goods.
We offer acoustic insulation as an upgrade. This will reduce the transfer of sound from the building. Different acoustic treatments are available depending on the level of sound proofing required.
The Garden Rooms are fully insulated and therefore heat up quickly and retain their heat well. We, therefore, feel that underfloor heating would be unnecessary and an inefficient way to heat the building. However, although this is not a service we offer, you could have electric underfloor heating easily fitted to your garden room if it is something you particularly want to have.
