    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does a garden room cost in Scotland?

    Garden rooms in Scotland cost £15,000-£50,000+ depending on size, specification, and finishes. Basic insulated pods (3x3m) start around £15,000. Mid-range office/studio rooms (4x3m) cost £20,000-£30,000. Premium builds with bathroom/kitchenette run £35,000-£50,000+. Prices include base preparation, electrical connection, and standard internal fit-out. Edinburgh and premium areas may add 10-15%.

    Do I need planning permission for a garden room in Scotland?

    Most garden rooms under 30m² floor area and 2.5m eaves height fall under permitted development, requiring no planning permission. However, rules differ for conservation areas, listed buildings, and if the room is for business use with customers visiting. Front gardens always need permission. We assess requirements during consultation and handle applications where needed—typically 8-12 weeks if required.

    Can garden rooms be used year-round in Scottish weather?

    Yes, properly built garden rooms are comfortable year-round. Quality construction includes 100mm+ wall insulation, double/triple glazing, insulated floors and roofs, and efficient heating (typically electric panel heaters or air-source heat pumps). Our builds maintain 20°C+ in winter without excessive running costs. Scottish weather is no barrier to year-round use.

    What can I use a garden room for?

    Garden rooms serve many purposes: home offices (most popular), gym/fitness studios, music rooms/recording studios, art studios, therapy/treatment rooms, teenage dens, guest accommodation (with planning), hobby rooms, home cinemas, and garden bars. Multi-purpose designs work well—office by day, entertainment space by evening. We design around your specific requirements.

    How long does garden room installation take?

    Complete garden room installation typically takes 3-6 weeks from groundworks to handover. Base preparation takes 3-5 days. Modular/prefab structures install in 1-3 days. Bespoke builds take 2-3 weeks on-site. Electrical connection, internal fit-out, and finishing adds another 1-2 weeks. Weather can affect timelines, but most projects complete within 6 weeks.
