The difference between Bespoke Garden Rooms and ‘Off-the-shelf’  

When selecting a garden room supplier, it might be simple to be seduced by inexpensive “off-the-shelf” garden rooms that have fixed dimensions, costs, and finishes. However, based on our expertise gained from manufacturing and working in the garden room industry for more than 25 years, we believe that it’s extremely rare for a “one-size-fits-all” product to actually fit your space or intentions. Choosing one of these solutions frequently involves making trade-offs that you may come to regret months or years later. 

We have created a list of the distinctions between off-the-shelf items and our bespoke garden room design method so that you are as well-informed as possible when choosing a garden room strategy and provider. 

Completely Unique  

You may have long fantasised about having a garden room space. When the time comes to transform your ideas into reality, you’ll want to discuss every aspect with a professional. Our pre-build process includes a free site visit during which we will examine your home, go over the many ways you can customise your garden room (including fascias, door types, storage, and interior decor), and produce a completely unique design and personalised quote. We may offer designs and features you might want to think about based on how precisely you want to use the area, ensuring that the ultimate product ideally fits you and your landscape. 

Highest Quality  

The single biggest difference between a Total Garden Room and many others on the market is the consistently high specification that we work to. From our thermo-efficient windows and doors, to our wall thickness and insulation, to our beautiful locally milled cedar cladding, we strive to install only the highest quality materials and include this as standard across all of our projects. Our 10-year guarantee demonstrates our confidence in the quality of our product and that our rooms really do stand the test of time. 

When considering quotes from an off-the-shelf supplier, be sure to closely inspect every aspect of the specification. You will often find that less robust materials may have been quoted which will result in an inferior garden room with far lower levels of both efficiency and comfort.  If you’re wanting to achieve a proper, liveable garden room rather than a glorified garden shed, make sure you pay close attention to the specification that you’re being offered. 

Flexibility and Efficient Insulation   

Every garden is unique, so you could run into a lot of obstacles when designing your project. But don’t worry—after 10 years in the business, we’ve probably seen it all before! We can help you through the process, offering advice and putting you in the proper way when necessary, whether you have issues regarding garden access, planning, tree preservations, site clearing, or any other issue specific to your garden or design ideas. 

We are able to work around you and your area thanks to our adaptable building strategy. We are not constrained when a property lacks side-access to the garden because we are able to build everything on-site and use more environmentally friendly screw pile foundations. We will always work to find a solution that disturbs you, your family and neighbours as little as possible.
