10+ Years Experience
Specialist Garden Outbuildings
Garden buildings can be a great way to turn empty outdoor space in Holloway into something practical, whether that is a garden office for studying and working from home or a mini summer house that gives you plenty of extra living space.
As a professional garden building company in September 2024, we understand how to construct garden rooms and entire garden building projects to suit the customer’s needs. Like any additional space project, it is important to have professionals backing your garden building project up.
We at the Garden Outbuilding Company are a professional team of garden room experts working to produce amazing outdoor spaces for our customers in Holloway.
Whether you want to preserve the outstanding natural beauty of your existing garden or replace a huge chunk of it with interesting garden building ideas, we can work with you to deliver a range of garden buildings that suit your specific needs,
We can provide some of the best garden buildings available in Holloway, using a range of professional installation and construction techniques alongside great materials to deliver a near-perfect installation.
Our past projects have come in all shapes and sizes. We know how to work with customers who have their own specific styles, floor styles and roof types, painting preferences, materials choices and additional extras that they need in their garden building.
Our Holloway experts are able to assist you throughout the entire project, from the initial planning stage of your new garden room to the finishing touches on large-scale garden buildings.
With well over a decade of experience constructing garden buildings, we understand both the building regulations and practical knowledge required to make a project work.
We have helped with the construction and installation of thousands of garden buildings throughout the years, each constructed to match the customer’s styles and requirements.
We can offer a variety of garden buildings to match any home, from basic storage space garden rooms to entire garden buildings of living space.
How you use your extra room depends on you, but we tailor our garden buildings to each customer’s needs, boasting sizes ranging from standalone garden rooms to entire multi-room garden buildings.
Our basic sheds are simple garden rooms that the vast majority of homeowners can benefit from.
These low-maintenance rooms can be built to a high standard of quality and style without needing many materials, letting us construct a complete building quickly.
Standalone garden rooms are a step up from sheds, with walls, flooring and insulation that protect the indoor area from the elements.
These can be great summer gathering spots, office outbuildings or just a man cave to relax in. Again, they are low-maintenance options and are easy to use for a variety of different purposes.
A full summer house can provide a massive amount of covered outdoor space, giving you multiple garden rooms to work with.
We can construct low-maintenance and high-standard garden rooms as part of a larger structure, making sure that the finished building is properly sealed and protected from weather changes.
Log cabins provide some extra space and style with a very rustic feel, making them perfect as a man cave for people who want to keep their garden area looking a specific way.
Our complete log cabins are on par with a garden house or building, providing year-round protection and comfort through careful choice of timber and other materials.
We are able to construct a range of garden room areas as workshops, either for home businesses or hobby purposes. Since most workshops are highly specific depending on the customer’s needs, these garden rooms tend to be entirely bespoke.
Our team are fully prepared to construct a specialist garden room for a particular purpose or hobby subject, including whatever specific details the client would need.
Our Holloway garden rooms and garden buildings are designed to be reliable and suitable for a wide range of purposes. When we construct a garden room, we make sure to follow the client’s instructions and details about their goals.
For example, when we construct a garden office, we make sure that things like underfloor heating and insulation are included as needed. Every one of the garden buildings we construct is meant to fit a client’s needs, so we take these buildings very seriously.
Each of the buildings we construct is meant to offer maximum quality, from a simple timber shed to an entire garden house. We treat a shed in the same way we treat a summer house, working with the client to satisfy their needs on their terms.
This means that simple spaces like a shed are going to have the same options as larger buildings in Holloway, allowing us to create something that meets the client’s needs. Even small details like doors are built with as much expertise as possible.
We treat each garden room (and every one of our garden buildings) as a flexible space, from a shed to a summer building. While we always stay within building regulations, we still work with our clients to create a space in Holloway worthy of their needs.
For example, even a basic shed can be adapted to meet our garden room specifications. We take into account things like site space, budget and quality expectations to deliver a building that you can be happy with.
Each one of our building options provides plenty of extra room, whether that is for year-round use or only during certain seasons. If the client needs it, we can maximise the amount of space available, opening up the building as much as possible.
We treat each of our Holloway outbuildings as a bespoke project. Even a single one-room shed is a bespoke room that we can adapt as the client needs, from extra windows and doors to specific timber choices.
The cost of even a single garden room can vary heavily based on a range of factors. We try to price each garden room or building project carefully, pricing buildings according to the factual factors of their construction.
You can contact us year-round to learn more about our garden room pricing structure or to get an estimate of the price for your proposed garden room idea.
Without planning permission from a local planning authority, a garden room can be 3 meters high (4 with a dual-pitched roof), have an eaves height of 2.5 meters, and cannot take up more than 15 square meters and/or more than 50% of your available outdoor space.
If your garden room does not meet any of these limits, it can fall under permitted development. Permitted development means that you do not have to seek planning permission for the garden room project.
If permitted development does not apply, then you will need planning permission for projects like this. We can help you figure out if you need permission or if your project falls under permitted development, and we can then seek planning permission on your behalf if needed.
Note that permitted development does not allow you to violate building regulations. Your project will not be allowed if you are breaking building regulations, even if you have accepted planning permission or are covered by permitted development rights.
You will always have to get planning permission if you are building in conservation areas, including within the property boundaries of listed buildings.
This process can vary based on the kind of room you are wanting to build and the amount of space it will take up, along with other factors specific to the building and the land surrounding it.
We can help you contact the authorities behind the conservation areas’ restrictions, helping you get a better idea of what you can and can’t do with your garden. From there, we can draft up another installation plan based on that information and our own advice.
Outbuildings are any separate rooms (often miniature houses) that are not attached to main houses. This usually means an installation like a shed, although it can also be a fantastic summer retreat, a separate workshop site, or any other kind of space.
If we create a standalone room complete with its own roof, walls and windows, that is considered to be a separate building installation.
These spaces are usually meant to be used year-round, meaning that you can visit them comfortably in both the summer and winter months. However, sometimes they are built specifically as a summer retreat or constructed only for a specific season.
As mentioned above, an installation like this with no planning permission can be a maximum height of 4 meters and is not allowed to take up more than 15 square feet of space in the gardens they are built in.
The rest of the restrictions can vary, especially concerning the roof style and the material choices involved (such as timber), so be sure to talk with us about the rest of your plan before work starts.
The mandatory distance between a new building and a boundary fence should be about 1.5 meters or more. Naturally, if you require planning permission, then this will become even more relevant.
Note that neighbours may be able to protest the worksite during construction if you create a building too close or if they have issues with the layout you are trying to create next to their property.
You require planning permission to build a structure like this in most cases. However, neighbours may also be able to protest if you are causing problems with your new plan, such as harming the outstanding natural beauty of their own garden.
While you can’t escape this if you are building near a fence, we can help you adjust the site and plan to save your project. This may mean a visit from a regulatory body to see if the structure would need to retreat further away from the fence.
We can provide a range of fantastic garden constructions in Holloway, all meant for vastly different purposes in a wide variety of situations and garden styles.
