About Our Annexes
What’s the difference between Caravan Act and Building Regulations annexes?
Building Regulations annexes are permanent structures built to full UK Building Regulations standards. They require planning permission as they create a new dwelling space and must meet strict rules for insulation, safety, drainage, and more. These buildings offer the widest range of sizes, layouts, and customisation options.
Caravan Act annexes, while often looking like modern permanent homes, are legally classed as moveable structures because they are built in transportable sections. This means they typically don’t require planning permission when used alongside the main house, though a Certificate of Lawfulness is sometimes needed. They are generally quicker and more cost-effective to build, but have some size and layout limitations.
Despite the name, Caravan Act annexes aren’t touring caravans and don’t have wheels — they are contemporary, high-quality buildings designed to look and feel like a permanent home.
What’s Included with The Hide Annex?
Bathroom
Bathroom

Plumbing
The plumbing setup in the annex building included up to 10 meters of cold-water piping, complete with connections at both ends, ensuring convenient access to water throughout the space. Similarly, up to 10 meters of foul piping, also with connections at both ends, efficiently manages wastewater disposal. A soakaway is included to facilitate proper drainage and water dispersal.

How is an Annex constructed?
Roof Section
Crafted from a blend of epoxy resin, steel, and high-density foam insulation, the annex roof section embodies modern innovation and durability. The high-density foam insulation ensures superior thermal performance, while the steel framework provides structural integrity and support against heavy loads and harsh weather. The roof section is encased in epoxy resin and boasts a seamless, waterproof barrier, ensuring long-term durability and protection.
Wall Section
The annex wall section is a fusion of materials designed for functionality and aesthetics. It starts with durable exterior cladding and cavity batten for ventilation. Photon wrap adds weatherproofing and insulation, while insulated fireproof cement board ensures safety and stability. Cable trunking keeps wiring concealed, and an insulated panel enhances thermal performance. Finally, plasterboard offers a smooth finish for interior decoration. This combination creates a secure, comfortable, and visually pleasing living space.
Floor Section
In the design of a modern annex floor, laminate flooring, steel beams, and high-density foam insulation combine seamlessly for both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Laminate flooring provides durability and elegance, mimicking the look of natural materials while resisting scratches and stains. Steel beams offer structural strength and stability, efficiently distributing weight and withstanding environmental factors like moisture. High-density foam insulation regulates temperature and reduces noise transmission between floors, ensuring comfort and tranquillity.

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.
by Peter
Can’t beat a Green Retreat!
We cannot recommend Green Retreats highly enough, compare their offer to anyone else and I think they will win the day. The finished result is a garden room of class and something to be proud of. Value is what you get as an overall package and experience, not what just the price tag states. Choose low maintenance materials and you cannot do better than Green Retreats, they simply are very hard to beat!
by Mark
I’d recommend them to anyone
Each element of the team that came were all extremely polite, punctual and very professional. The quality of the materials are extremely high and the overall quality of the garden room is amazing. It’s fabulous to be able to sit in a room outside to work and to relax and enjoy the garden to its full potential. Green Retreats have been superb throughout the process, and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
by Sarah Levin
What a great company!
The customer care and communication, from the start of my enquiry through to the installation has been exemplary! I’m so pleased with my G2, it not only looks great but it is a
first class product down to the last detail. I can’t recommend Green Retreats highly enough and I’m super excited to relocate my art studio into the garden! Thank you Green Retreats.
