What's included as standard

Structure

  • Insulated steel structure — 100mm PIR walls and a fire-rated 100mm PIR roof for genuine year-round comfort
  • Single rear-pitch roof with a gentle fall to the rear — gutters and downpipes included

Doors & windows

Delivery & warranty

  • Delivery, installation & VAT — all included. VeltHaven 10-Year Structural Warranty (2 years full warranty + structural cover to year 10). Does not affect your statutory rights.

What you'll arrange separately

  • Your building is installed on a level, load-bearing base of the correct size. Providing that base is your responsibility and it is not included in the price. You can prepare it yourself, use your own contractor, or have VeltHaven Foundation Management design and build it for you, quoted from your site photos. As a guide, a garden-room base typically runs £6,495–£8,495 and a garage base £9,995–£15,995, depending on size, ground conditions, levels and access. Garages cost more per square metre because the slab is engineered to carry vehicles.
  • Electrical connection to your home supply — priced from the photos you send, before you commit.
  • Electrical installation — no wiring, consumer unit, sockets, switches, lighting or certification. (Included with Signature: the complete electrical first fix. Included with Executive: the complete, certified installation.)
  • Floor finish — your prepared base is ready for the flooring of your choice, fitted by you or your own contractor whenever it suits. (Premium vinyl flooring is included with Signature and Executive.)
  • Heating & cooling, networking, smoke and heat detectors. (Included with Executive.)
  • Plumbing, kitchenettes, bathrooms and bespoke interiors — available on request; ask us after ordering.

Includes

  • 100mm PIR insulated walls & roof
  • Triple-glazed sliding glass wall, two windows + a PVC personnel door
  • Gutters, downpipes and your choice from the ten RAL colours
  • Delivery, installation & VAT
  • VeltHaven 10-Year Structural Warranty

Best for buyers happy to arrange their own electrics and fit-out.

See it from every angle

Inside and out

The same insulated, glazed room works as an office, a gym or a retreat. Here is how it looks inside, and from the garden.

Lighting and wiring are shown indicatively. In your building, light fittings are surface-mounted and cabling runs in white surface trunking.

What people use them for

A home office that isn't the kitchen table. A gym you'll actually walk to. A studio for art, music or yoga. A treatment room. A teenager's retreat. A garden lounge with the doors slid fully open in summer. One building, finished to a standard that adds to your home rather than sitting apart from it.

If you're searching for a garden office, this is that building: an insulated, triple-glazed garden room specified for full-time work — with flooring and the electrical first fix in the Signature package, or a fully fitted, certified interior with Executive.

Planning to work from it every day? See our garden office packages and prices, or read the complete guide to a garden office. Weighing it against a conservatory? See garden room vs conservatory.

Core is an insulated, glazed shell — ready for your fit-out. The floor, power, lighting and heating that make it move-in ready come with Signature and Executive.

Cut to your chosen size, painted in your chosen colour, and configured to your layout — every room is made only for you, and it is not a stock item.

What's included / what's separate

Included: the finished, insulated and glazed building, delivery, installation, VAT, and the structural warranty. Quoted separately after your site photos: the level base/groundwork it sits on, and any additional electrical connection work — always confirmed before you commit.

What it costs

Garden room prices, with nothing hidden

A VeltHaven garden room costs from £22,995 fully installed — around £900–£1,150 per square metre for our entry Core package, for a year-round, insulated, triple-glazed building. Includes the building, VAT, mainland UK delivery, and installation on a standard site. Base and electrical connections are quoted separately. We price the base and the electrical connection from the photos you send, before you commit.

Why we start with the base

Your floor floats on the base rather than sitting on a frame. That makes it the part of the job you never see, and the one that decides whether your floor stays flat.

So we specify it rather than leave it to chance. Our own base specification is C30/37–C35/45 structural concrete at 150–300mm, depending on the building and your site, laid over compacted MOT Type 1 with steel mesh reinforcement. That sits at or above the top of the usual industry ranges. We'd rather it outlasted the building's warranty several times over than just met a minimum.

The base is priced separately from the building. VeltHaven Foundation Management is a paid extra: we review your site, have the base engineer-specified for your building and put a vetted contractor on it. Whichever route you take, your exact requirement is confirmed and priced from the site photos you send us, before anything is manufactured.

Your building is installed on a level, load-bearing base of the correct size. Providing that base is your responsibility and it is not included in the price. You can prepare it yourself, use your own contractor, or have VeltHaven Foundation Management design and build it for you, quoted from your site photos.

As a guide, a garden-room base typically runs £6,495–£8,495 and a garage base £9,995–£15,995, depending on size, ground conditions, levels and access. Garages cost more per square metre because the slab is engineered to carry vehicles.

The full detail — slab depths, concrete grades and what your site needs — is in our base and groundwork guide.

How it's built

Built on a steel frame, clad in insulated PIR panels

Behind the glazed front, an engineered steel frame carries solid walls in 100mm PIR sandwich panels and a roof in a separate, fire-rated 100mm PIR panel with a trapezoidal profile — two steel skins bonded to a rigid PIR foam core, locked together with a concealed tongue-and-groove joint. It is the same insulated steel build as our insulated garages, sharing the same wall and roof panel system — and because it bolts together rather than being built in place, it can be dismantled and moved if you ever relocate. Wall U-value 0.23 W/m²K · roof U-value 0.22 W/m²K.

How much sound it keeps out

The wall and roof panels carry an airborne sound rating of Rw 23 dB, with Ra1 21 dB and Ra2 20 dB. If this is where you take calls, that's the figure to look at: it describes how much outside noise the panels hold back, and how much of your meeting stays in the room.

The glazed front

The full front is a four-panel sliding glass wall — two fixed panes and two that slide open — so the garden comes inside when you want it and the light never stops. Side windows keep the space bright from every angle — two with Core, four with Signature and Executive. Slim anthracite frames throughout, triple-glazed so the room stays comfortable in deep winter and high summer alike.

Precision glazing, built for the British climate

The full front is a triple-glazed sliding glass wall on a 76 mm 6-chamber insulated frame with a warm-edge spacer — a whole-window U-value (Uw) of 0.76 W/m²K. Two sliding panes, two fixed, and triple-glazed side windows — two with Core, four with Signature and Executive: engineered to hold a comfortable temperature through a British winter, and CE-marked to the relevant EN standards.

About planning

Every model is built to a 248 cm (8′2″) external height — designed to sit below the 2.5 m permitted development height limit that applies close to a boundary in England & Wales. Planning rules vary by property and location — always check local requirements. Read our full planning guide →

Usually not. In England and Wales a garden room is normally permitted development if it is single-storey, no more than 2.5 m to the eaves, not forward of your house's principal elevation, and no more than 3 m tall overall for a flat or mono-pitch roof — dropping to 2.5 m overall where it sits within 2 m of a boundary — and your combined outbuildings, including this one, don't cover more than 50% of your garden. Permission is more likely to be needed in a conservation area or on a listed building, or if previous extensions have already used up your permitted development allowance. Rules differ in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and permitted development does not apply to flats or maisonettes. We assess your plot as part of the design and tell you clearly what's required before you commit — and if you're unsure, your local planning authority can confirm. Read our full planning guide →

Building regulations are a separate question from planning, and the answer depends on the size of the building and where it sits on your plot. Our building regulations guide sets out which applies to yours.

Inside your room

Flooring and climate control

The Floor Finish — included with Signature and Executive

Premium oak-effect luxury vinyl

Oak-effect luxury vinyl planks with a fully waterproof rigid mineral core, integrated acoustic underlay and commercial-grade 0.55 mm wear layer — professionally fitted. Fitted after your building is installed — not on your build day — at its own scheduled visit, with the electrician attending first. Included with Signature and Executive.

  • Rated utility class 33 — the heavy-commercial grade
  • Passed the castor chair test — the office-chair test, which is the one that matters if this is where you work
  • A+ VOC emission rating, for a room you'll spend whole days in with the doors shut
  • Compatible with underfloor heating

Impact sound is a separate measurement from the panels' airborne rating: the acoustic underlay bonded to every plank gives a 21 dB improvement in impact sound — footsteps and dropped objects, rather than noise carried through the air.

Common questions

Garden Rooms FAQ

What's included in the price of a garden room?

The finished, insulated, glazed building, delivery, installation, VAT, and the VeltHaven 10-Year Structural Warranty are all included, from £22,995. The level base/groundwork it sits on, and any additional electrical connection work, are priced separately from the photos you send, and always confirmed before you commit.

How long does it take from order to finished room?

Your building is manufactured to order in about 2–6 weeks, then delivered and installed — a steel garage usually 1–2 days, an insulated garage or garden room 1–3 days, weather permitting, once your base is ready, and managed end to end by VeltHaven.

Do I need planning permission for a garden room?

Usually not. In England and Wales a garden room is normally permitted development if it is single-storey, no more than 2.5 m to the eaves, not forward of your house's principal elevation, and no more than 3 m tall overall for a flat or mono-pitch roof — dropping to 2.5 m overall where it sits within 2 m of a boundary — and your combined outbuildings, including this one, don't cover more than 50% of your garden. Permission is more likely to be needed in a conservation area or on a listed building, or if previous extensions have already used up your permitted development allowance. Rules differ in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and permitted development does not apply to flats or maisonettes. We assess your plot as part of the design and tell you clearly what's required before you commit — and if you're unsure, your local planning authority can confirm. Read our full planning guide →

Do I need to prepare a base before installation?

Yes — your room needs a level base/groundwork suited to the building. This is quoted separately from your site photos, after your design is finalised, and always confirmed before you commit.

What warranty is included?

Every garden room includes the VeltHaven 10-Year Structural Warranty: 2 years full warranty + structural cover to year 10. This does not affect your statutory rights.

What colour options are available?

Your choice of exterior colour from the 10-colour RAL palette, with anthracite RAL 7016 as standard.
