Additional Costs
When considering the cost of adding a garden room, it’s important to account for potential additional expenses such as electrical connection, delivery, levelling, landscaping, and possible planning permission fees.
Things to consider
Electrical connection costs depend on the distance and power demands, and you can either use the company’s in-house electricians or your own.
Delivery is free within 100 miles of their Buckinghamshire factory, with additional charges beyond that range.
Ground levelling may require hiring landscapers, as only concrete mini-pile foundations are provided.
While we don’t offer landscaping, we can coordinate with your contractor.
Planning permission is typically not needed, but if required, the company will handle the application process.
