Garvestone Garden Room

Mark, Dereham
“We are really pleased with the garden room. Tristen and his team were all excellent, from the design stage to the build. The quality of workmanship is fantastic and we love the cedar finish. We would recommend Read Garden Rooms to anyone."

Client Brief

Our customer wanted to create a space useable for the whole family. It will serve as craft room for the kids at one end and a home office at the other! 

The space was previously home to an above-ground swimming pool which was not getting used. Building a garden room was the perfect opportunity to tidy up this wasted space.

Challenges & Solutions

  • Build time - 14 working days

  • We had to clear the site by removing an existing brick garden wall

  • Power for the septic tank overflow pump was taken from a socket on the brick wall, so we set up a temporary supply for the duration of the build and then wired the pump into a fused spur in garden room

  • No direct access to rear garden, had to take all materials through the garage and utility room. Put sheets down to protect carpet from muddy boots/wheelbarrows. Made a small ramp to clear the threshold of the back door
