Other potential costs involved in installing a garden office

When it comes to pricing up a garden office is important to be aware of all the costs that may be involved with your project. In addition to the garden office building itself, you might also need to factor in the following:

• an electrical connection
• ground levelling
• garden landscaping
• planning permission fees

Electrical connections for garden offices

Our free site survey and design consultation will help us establish how best to install an electrical connection to your garden office. Once we understand the distance from your main building and the demands for electricity in your garden office, we can provide an exact quotation for the connection. We have the in-house expertise to complete this electrical work as part of your overall garden office project. Alternatively, we can recommend a trusted electrical company in your area to assist with this element, or you’re welcome to use your own preferred electrician if you have one.

Ground levelling

We can install a garden office in almost any landscape, but we will need the ground to be level within 200 millimetres to lay the foundations securely. As part of the installation of your garden office, we lay concrete pile foundations. If your ground needs levelling in order for us to do this then we’ll bring in a third-party landscaper to complete this work. We’ll help you establish this during your free site survey and factor in any additional cost.

Garden landscaping

Once your garden office is installed you might wish to adjust the landscaping of your garden to accommodate your new addition. We currently don’t offer a landscaping service ourselves, but if you are planning to have your garden landscaped as part of the wider office installation project, we are more than happy to work with your chosen contractor to execute your vision.

Planning permission costs

The fantastic thing about our garden offices is that in most cases they do not require planning permission to install! Our garden offices are designed and purpose-built to meet the exact specification of planning permission guidelines for permanent outdoor structures. Choosing a garden office that adheres to planning permissions guidelines will save you both time and money.

However, depending on the size and location of your garden office building there may be cases where you do need to apply for planning permission, in which case there will be an additional charge – the rates of which will depend on your local authority fees. We can help you determine whether planning permission is needed during our free site survey.

All garden offices good value for money?

Garden offices are a highly cost-effective way to add extra space to your home. Loft extensions, conservatories and other home improvements are often costly and time-consuming. Traditional garden structures such as sheds, summerhouses, and timber garden office pods are cheaper options in the short-term but require a lot of maintenance and degrade very quickly. Our purpose-built garden offices are constructed using innovative building methods and quality, environmentally efficient materials, creating an outdoor office space solution that will last a lifetime.

Our garden offices have a lifespan of at least 30 years and require little to no maintenance. The beauty of our garden rooms is that the usage can change and grow with the needs of your family over time. Of course, you’re looking for a home workspace for the foreseeable, but if your needs change down the line then so can the purpose of your garden office. These versatile spaces make fantastic home fitness studios, ‘she sheds’ and ‘man caves’, craft rooms, gaming rooms and summer houses. You name it – our garden rooms have been used for all sorts.

Do garden offices add value to your home?

A quality garden office can certainly add value to your property. Every one of our garden buildings comes with a 10-year guarantee on materials and is designed to last for decades. With the popularity of homeworking growing considerably in recent years, garden buildings are now a desirable feature when purchasing a property.
