What is a garden room and how can I use it?
A garden room is a high-quality, insulated building installed in your outdoor space. It can be used as a home office, gym, studio, hobby space, guest accommodation, or simply a place to relax. At KF CRAFTS, we design and build garden rooms to suit your specific needs, with year-round comfort and stylish finishes.
Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
Most of our garden rooms and garden offices fall within permitted development rights, meaning planning permission is not usually required. However, larger structures or certain locations (e.g. conservation areas) may have different rules. We can advise you during the design stage to ensure your build is compliant.
Are your garden rooms fully insulated for year-round use?
Yes. All KF Crafts garden rooms, offices, and annexes are built with high-performance insulation in the floors, walls, and roof. This ensures they remain warm in winter and cool in summer, making them ideal for use throughout the year.
What size garden rooms do you offer?
We offer four standard sizes – Mini, Small, Medium, and Large – as well as fully bespoke builds. Whether you need a compact office or a spacious garden annex, we can design a layout that fits your garden and your lifestyle.
How long does it take to build a garden room?
Build times vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. A standard garden room typically takes 2–3 weeks from groundwork to completion. We’ll provide a clear timeline during the quotation process so you know exactly what to expect.
Can a garden room be connected to electricity and the internet?
Absolutely. We can install full electrical wiring, lighting, and heating in your garden room. For internet access, options include running a cable from your home or using Wi-Fi boosters. This makes our garden offices perfect for remote working.
What is the difference between a garden room and a garden annex?
A garden room is typically a versatile space for leisure or work, while a garden annex is designed for independent living, often including a bathroom and kitchenette. Annexes are ideal for guest accommodation or multi-generational living and may require planning permission.
Do you offer a guarantee on your garden rooms?
Yes. All KF CRAFTS builds are backed by a comprehensive guarantee for your peace of mind. We use high-quality materials and craftsmanship to ensure your structure lasts for many years.
