Garden Offices

In most instances, our garden rooms and outbuilding projects fall within permitted development. This is pre-approved planning permission as long as your room is built subject to several limits and conditions, of which we can advise on consultation.

We also design our garden buildings to comply with planning’s permitted development rules and within the building control thresholds.

In some instances, it is necessary to gain consent from the local authority planning department, such as if certain planning restrictions are active on your property e.g. customers who live in a conservation area or a listed building, or if the customer requires a building design which does not fall under the permitted thresholds

In most cases planning permission is not required however if you are unsure we are more than happy to assist.

We currently travel up to 50 miles from our base in Merseyside. But we do consider projects further afield. Please enquire with us to see if we can help.

All Baltic Bespoke garden rooms come with a structural warranty and a workmanship warranty. Alongside these, you will have access to various product warranties, such as the 20 year roof membrane warranty.

Pretty much anywhere in your garden, to the side, or rear of your main residence. In other words: anywhere behind the building line (an imaginary line drawn across the front elevation of your home when it was constructed).

A garden space is intended to be a separate stand-alone building, it cannot be attached to the main building and cannot be an extension of the existing dwelling. There are rules regarding the proximity to the boundary - however we ensure the boundary-facing walls are suitably noncombustable as part of the design process.

At Baltic Bespoke we can design and install outbuildings and garden rooms of any size compliant with building regulations and planning regulations. If you need more information about this, please get in touch.

Depending on size, and which structural method we select, (light gauge steel, modular sip panel, or timber framing and weather) and other factors such as conditions, a garden room can be supplied and installed between 2 weeks and 4 weeks from the foundation completion.

For the larger bespoke builds and commercial projects, this may increase, however, we advise how long we expect the team to be onsite for the customer before commencement.

In some instances, we can build much of the room off-site.

We get this question in our DMs all the time! It’s impossible to give a general answer on this because our garden rooms are bespoke.

The price varies depending on their complexity, size, building method, foundation requirements, and finishings. Every one is different, with totally different specifications.

The best option is to contact us with your thoughts and we can give you an idea, or come for a free survey visit to provide an accurate quotation.

During the design phase, we can discuss how to make your garden room truly multi-functional. Once we understand your requirements we’ll find a way of planning your room to perfectly fit your needs, including carving out space to chill out in your office, or once you close down that laptop for the evening. When designing your room we will create a drawing pack including 3Ds and CGIs, on which we can show your proposed furniture and seating to make sure everything fits perfectly for you.

We understand that security is a key priority when it comes to your business, this is why all our garden room windows are double-glazed to BS7412 specification and feature toughened glazing which is both thermally efficient and safe. All our windows and doors are also fitted with a high security (insurance grade) multi-point locking system.

We can help you plan your space optimally for the number of desks you require. This would include helping you work out what will be comfortable and allow for things like power sockets and lighting. The number of desks we can fit into a garden office depends on the space you have available.

We'll ask the important questions you might not have considered, such as do you want more desk space, or would you prefer a cosy corner where you can take a break? Or space for a kitchenette, or for a toilet room and wash hand basin? The location and size of windows and doors are carefully calculated to maximise natural light and ventilation in conjunction with your proposed desk/furniture layout. There are questions we can help you answer during the design phase.

We often install toilets, wash hand basins and electric showers in our garden rooms. We need to be able to connect to a local manhole or existing soil stack, and also install an underground water connection - some properties and budgets are not suitable for this.
