Professional Garden Rooms Services in Kent
Transform your outdoor space into a functional, year-round living area with a bespoke garden room from Carey Brothers & Sons. Whether you need a home office, gym, studio, or simply additional living space, our garden rooms combine quality construction with thoughtful design to create beautiful spaces that enhance your property and lifestyle.
Our garden rooms are fully insulated, weatherproof structures designed for comfortable year-round use. Unlike basic summer houses, we build to residential standards using cavity wall construction, proper foundations, insulated roofs, and double or triple glazing. We can incorporate underfloor heating, full electrical installations including data points for home offices, plumbing for kitchen areas or bathrooms, and bespoke joinery including built-in storage and workspaces. Our designs range from traditional timber-clad rooms that complement period properties, to contemporary glass-walled studios that maximise natural light. Each garden room is tailored to your specific requirements, site conditions, and planning constraints.
Creating the perfect garden room requires careful planning and expert execution. We begin with a site visit to assess location, access, ground conditions, and orientation for optimal natural light. We advise on planning permission and building regulations requirements, handling all applications where necessary. Our service includes base construction (concrete slab or suspended floor), structural framework, weatherproof cladding and roofing, windows and doors, full insulation package, first fix electrics and plumbing, plastering and decoration, and flooring. We manage the complete project from design through to handover, typically completing garden rooms within 8-12 weeks. The result is a high-quality space that adds value to your property whilst providing the additional room your family needs.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our garden rooms services in Kent
1Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
Most garden rooms can be built under Permitted Development Rights without planning permission, provided they're single-storey, under 2.5 metres in height (4 metres for pitched roofs), and cover less than 50% of your garden. Buildings within 2 metres of boundaries must not exceed 2.5 metres in height. Conservation areas and listed buildings have stricter rules.
2How much does a garden room cost?
Garden room costs typically range from £1,500-£2,500 per square metre depending on specification. A standard 4m x 4m (16 sq m) garden room costs £24,000-£40,000 including groundworks, structure, insulation, electrics, plumbing, and finishes. Higher specifications with bifold doors, underfloor heating, and premium finishes increase costs to £3,000-£4,000 per square metre.
3Can a garden room be used year-round?
Yes, when properly built and insulated. We use full cavity wall insulation, insulated roof systems, and double or triple glazing to create thermally efficient spaces suitable for year-round use. We can install heating (underfloor or radiators) and ensure adequate ventilation. Building regulations for habitable spaces ensure comfort in all seasons.
4Do garden rooms need building regulations approval?
Garden rooms over 15 square metres (and within 1 metre of a boundary) or those with sleeping accommodation require building regulations approval. This covers structural integrity, fire safety, ventilation, thermal performance, and electrical safety. We handle all building control liaison and ensure full compliance.
5How long does it take to build a garden room?
A typical garden room takes 8-12 weeks from start to finish, including groundworks, construction, first fix electrics/plumbing, plastering, second fix, and decoration. The timeline varies based on size, complexity, ground conditions, and weather. We provide a detailed programme during quotation.
