A few benefits of working from home
Reduced Overheads
Having a home office means reduced overheads as you will not be paying rent and the cost of travelling to and from the workplace will practically be zero.
No Commute
Your commute is cut right down to practically zero when you work from home. Creating office space with a garden office saves you time and money compared to an office commute.
Work Life Balance
A garden office offers better work/life balance by allowing you to manage your day better. Working from home allows you flexibility within the day to attend to the needs of your personal life.
Privacy & Peace
Privacy, peace and quiet is a must when working from home. Our garden rooms are stand-alone buildings detached from your home, meaning your office retreat is away from the distractions of home.
Healthier Lifestyle
Working from home has been shown to lower stress and provide more time for personal interests and improve personal relationships. In addition working relationships can be improved without the distractions of office politics.
Increased Productivity
Working from home usually means fewer interruptions, a quieter environment leading to increased motivation, as well as productivity. Removing the daily commute also means you will have more time.
Customisable Workspace
Being able to create a comfortable workplace is an excellent benefit of a garden office. Design your work space to suit your exact needs by customising it however you want.
Reduce Footprint
Working from home reduces your carbon footprint which is great news for the environment. The more people that choose to work from home means more cars off the road reducing omissions.
Cost-effective home office solutions
Adding an office or studio to your garden is a simple and cost-effective process – especially in comparison to other home extension alternatives.
Whether it’s a place to work from home or indulge in hobbies, relax or party, garden buildings offer the ideal solution.
Planning permission is generally not required and the buildings are generally installed in just a few days.

Low maintenance

No Planning Permission
Garden Buildings under 2.5m high do not need ‘Planning Permission’ and are considered to be ‘Permitted Development’ and do NOT require planning permission if:
-
The building is to be placed less than 2.0m from the boundary of the property the maximum overall height should not exceed 2.5m from existing ground level
-
It has an internal floor area of less than 30m2
If you do comply with the above criteria, garden buildings up to an internal floor area of 30 square metres are generally exempt from planning and building regulations (Except when the structure is to be used for sleeping accommodation)

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Composite Garden Offices insulated?
Our garden rooms make for the perfect home office/studio solution because they are insulated which means they can be used all year round.
Some customers opt for a standard oil-filled radiator to help keep warm in the colder months, but it’s worth considering upgrading to air-conditioning option for complete climate control.
Will a Garden Office add value to your property?
Yes they do and property experts have reported they have experienced the dramatic effect the pandemic has had on house buyers. Working from home is now so widespread that lists of priorities have changed for house buyers and home offices are mentioned in conversations with prospective buyers.
Lots of people are no longer commuting to work every day but like to leave the house to go to work. A garden office provides that physical disconnection between work and home life.
How secure are Garden Offices?
As standard, our composite garden rooms are fitted with double glazed PVCU French featuring high-security multi-point locking meaning your office equipment can locked away securely at the end of your workday.
Our double glazing is toughened glass and able to withstand everyday knocks. Why not consider upgrading to Aluminium bi-folding doors and slimline windows to truly customise your garden room.
Is planning permission needed for a Garden Office?
Planning permission is generally not required for garden offices! Garden buildings such as ours are classed as outbuildings that fall within your permitted development rights. Some properties in the UK don’t have permitted development rights, in which case planning permission would be required.
For peace of mind, we recommend checking the government’s online planning portal or visit your local council with a rough layout of your garden, and a photograph of the garden room you would like because more often than not the council will give you, ‘a letter of permitted development’.
Can I create a multi-purpose Garden Office?
Yes, you can, the way our garden buildings are manufactured allow for them to be customised to your exact needs. Creating a multi-purpose garden building is a great way to utilise your new space.
Add extra windows, partition walls, toilets, showers, sauna, and more, your garden room can easily accommodate any other purpose such as an office/gym, office/cinema, or even an office/bar!
