From concept

to fully built …

we grow your home



Whether you need more space for a home office, an annex for your parents or children, a pool room, a home gym, a music room or an area to entertain, we can help you make your garden part of your home.

Why GartenHaus?

We specialise in achieving fully legitimate garden rooms for clients for whom conventional planning applications or permitted development are not possible. If you have been thwarted by green belt rules, AONB, or an Article 4 Direction you should talk to us.

We can work with you to do as much or as little as you need to make your project a reality :-

  • assistance with planning
  • building design, specification and drawings
  • full turnkey

We specialise in high quality, fully insulated 4 season buildings, using excellent materials, that will give you many years of flexible and comfortable enjoyment.

We take the headache out of building your bespoke garden room.

A GartenHaus home is not a glorified shed with some additional wool cladding. Our walls are made from super insulated SIP panels and are 6″ or 8″ thick. Our detailed price quote will usually include piling foundations, subframe, supply and erection of floor walls and roof, gutters and rainwater goods, external cladding, windows and bifolds/sliding doors, internal and external doors, skirting, plumbing and electrics (within the building, +/- connections to the main house), kitchen and bathroom installation, internal flooring, plastering, internal decoration.
