Garden Living Rooms

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.

We can install your widescreen TV in your garden room. During the design phase, we can discuss where your TV is best situated and how big you can go, depending on your requirements and the space you have available. We can also create features in the space such as media walls to conceal messy cables. On all of our garden rooms and annexes, the customer chooses locations and quantities of sockets to ensure the building is suitably future-proofed and any required access to power is fully covered.

During the design phase, we'll discuss lighting design with you to make sure that you have the optimal lighting setup in place for your needs. All of our garden rooms come with smart phone controlled lighting and heating as standard, at the touch of a button on your device.

We understand that you’ll want to ensure your valuables are safe in your garden room, 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’ll happily sit down with you to find a design that meets all your needs, including incorporating a study or office nook into your garden living room. You’ll be surprised at what can be accomplished with some clever planning. 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.
