Benefits of our garden rooms
There’s so many reasons to choose a garden room to create extra space. We’ve put together just a few of them for you…
Designed and built in the UK
All aspects of our garden building construction are handled internally, with our skilled team producing each element from our expansive 65,000 sq. ft production facility in Buckinghamshire. This includes the production of doors and windows, ensuring comprehensive quality assurance of your garden room designs throughout every process stage.
Planning permission rarely required
Most garden rooms fall within permitted development rights, meaning you can avoid the hassle of planning permission to create the extra space you need quickly. There are a few exceptions, depending on the area that your live in and local council rules, but our in-house planning department can handle the whole process for you should you require planning.
Fits close to any solid obstacle
Our construction methods mean we can build as close as 400mm to any solid boundary or obstacle, like a fence or your house giving you the full flexibility of the building position. For a building that’s over 15m2 we can build as close as 1m to a boundary.
Eco friendly build
Landfill-free, solar-powered, carbon-neutral, recycled & sustainable materials are just some reasons Green Retreats is the eco-friendly garden room choice! We take our responsibility to the environment very seriously. From our garden room building materials to our factories and showrooms, we take every step possible to be eco-friendly and sustainable.

Fantastic Room in a little London garden!
We now have an amazing room at the bottom of our garden that fits in beautifully and feels as though it has been there for ever. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and the entire process was very straightforward.

Excellent choice of supplier for my Garden Studio! So pleased
Green Retreats deserve every single one of my star ratings! They have been very professional right from the start, from welcoming me to their warehouse to helping me make the right choice through to a fabulous installation. The finished studio is amazing, a top quality build and the installation teams were timely, polite and very hard-working.
Thanks to you all…what a fab company!!
by Alexa Garthwaite
Fantastic product and service to match
We had a 3.5m by 5m garden room installed last month and we are delighted with the result. We are using it as a home gym and love the extra space it has given us! The building also looks fantastic at the bottom of our garden. Green retreats have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. In summary I have been very impressed by both the product and the service provided by green retreats and highly recommend!
