What Does a Garden Building Cost? Garages & Garden Rooms (2026)

A garden building you design with us costs from £9,995 to £54,265, delivered and installed: a steel garage £9,995–£27,990, an insulated garage £23,950–£54,265, a garden room £22,995–£39,995. Our ready-designed garages start at £5,995, delivered and installed. The base is extra on all three buildings, and so is any electrical connection. For the base you get a guide price from your site photos, then a firm quote after our contractor’s site visit; the electrical connection is quoted from your photos. Both come before you pay your balance, never bundled into the headline price.

Across the board, two rules apply: compare the installed, all-in price, not the headline; and always budget for the base, the electrical connection and delivery, which “from” prices often leave out. VeltHaven confirms those before you pay your balance. For the base, a guide price from your site photos comes first; the firm quote after our contractor’s site visit is the figure you pay.

Garages: Includes the building, mainland UK delivery, and installation on a standard site. The base is priced separately: a guide price from your photos, then a firm quote after our contractor's site visit. Your electrical connection is included with an electrical package (a paid extra) on a standard connection; otherwise it is priced from your site photos.
Garden rooms: Includes the building, mainland UK delivery, and installation on a standard site. Base and electrical connections are quoted 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: a guide price from your photos, then a firm quote after our contractor's site visit. As a guide, Foundation Management, our fully managed service, costs from £5,095 to £6,295 for a garden-room base and from £5,495 to £8,695 for a garage base for cars and storage (125 mm slab), depending on size, ground conditions, levels and access. Built by your own groundworker, a base typically costs £1,900–£8,100 for a steel garage, £2,500–£10,800 for an insulated garage and £1,900–£5,600 for a garden room, excluding VAT. Add VAT if your contractor is VAT-registered.

Garages: from £5,995, delivered and installed

A ready-designed steel garage starts at £5,995 delivered and installed: a compact 3 × 5 m (10 × 16 ft) building with a manual up-and-over door. A steel garage you design yourself, with an automatic insulated sectional door, starts at £9,995 and runs to £27,990 for the largest three-door build. A fully insulated garage you can heat and use as a workshop, gym or year-round space runs £23,950–£54,265. Cheap metal sheds cost a few hundred pounds but aren’t comparable buildings. A single brick garage typically costs £22,000–£30,000 (MyBuilder, updated August 2026), with insulation and electrics listed as additions to that build cost.

Garden rooms — from £22,995 installed

A year-round, insulated, triple-glazed garden room (office, gym or studio) costs from £22,995 fully installed, up to £39,995 for the largest model in the Executive package — around £900–£1,150 per square metre for our Core package. Budget summerhouses cost less but aren’t built for winter use.

Planning what it’s for

What’s always included — and what’s quoted separately

Every VeltHaven building is delivered and fully installed, including delivery, with the 10-Year Structural Warranty on garages and garden rooms (does not affect your statutory rights). What’s priced separately is the base/groundwork (a guide price from your site photos, then a firm quote after our contractor’s site visit) and any extra electrical connection (quoted from your photos) — agreed before you pay your balance. See our groundwork guide and planning guide.
