Service Overview
An outbuilding is a standalone structure built within the boundary of your property, typically located in the garden. Unlike temporary garden rooms, a properly constructed outbuilding is designed for year-round use and long-term durability.
Homeowners choose outbuildings to:
Create larger kitchens and living spaces
Add bedrooms or bathrooms
Improve layout and flow
Increase property value
Outbuildings can be simple single-room spaces or fully serviced buildings with electrics, plumbing, and heating.
Types of Outbuildings
Garden Offices
Insulated, quiet spaces designed for full-time home working.
Garden Rooms
Multi-purpose rooms used for relaxation, hobbies, or family space.
Home Gyms or Studios
Purpose-built spaces with suitable flooring, ventilation, and power.
Annex-style outbuildings
Larger structures that may include bathrooms or kitchenettes, subject to planning and regulations.
Our Outbuilding Construction Process
Site Visit & Feasibility
We assess garden size, ground conditions, drainage, access, and boundary limits to confirm what can be built.
Planning & Design Coordination
Drawings, specifications, and any planning or building regulation requirements are reviewed before work begins.
Construction & Inspections
Foundations, structure, insulation, and services are installed in stages, with inspections where required.
Completion & Handover
We complete all finishing works, carry out final checks, and ensure building control sign-off before handover.

Are used for incidental purposes

The outbuilding is used as independent living accommodation
Size or height limits are exceeded

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some of the most common questions we’re asked about house extensions.
What is classed as an outbuilding?
An outbuilding is a standalone structure within the boundary of your property, separate from the main house. Common examples include garden rooms, home offices, gyms, studios, and storage buildings.
Do outbuildings need planning permission?
Many outbuildings fall under permitted development if they are for incidental use, meet size and height limits, and are positioned correctly within the garden. Planning permission is required for independent living accommodation or larger structures.
What does “incidental use” mean?
Incidental use means the outbuilding supports the main house, such as a home office, gym, or hobby space, but is not used as a separate dwelling.
Do outbuildings need building regulations approval?
Building regulations may apply depending on size, intended use, and whether the outbuilding includes electrics, plumbing, insulation, or sleeping accommodation.
Can an outbuilding be used as a bedroom?
Using an outbuilding as a bedroom often triggers building regulations and planning requirements, particularly regarding fire safety and access.
Can I add a bathroom or kitchenette to an outbuilding?
Yes, but this usually requires building regulations approval and may require planning permission depending on the level of facilities provided.
How long does it take to build an outbuilding?
Most outbuildings take between 4 and 8 weeks to complete, depending on size, ground conditions, and services.
Do outbuildings need foundations?
Yes. Permanent outbuildings require proper foundations suitable for ground conditions and building size.
Are outbuildings insulated?
Yes. For year-round use, outbuildings are insulated in line with building regulations or best practice standards.
Can I have heating and electrics in an outbuilding?
Yes. Most outbuildings include electrical installations, and heating can be added depending on usage and specification
How much does an outbuilding cost?
Outbuildings typically cost between £15,000 and £50,000+, depending on size, structure, services, and finishes.
What affects the cost of an outbuilding?
Costs depend on size, foundation type, insulation level, electrics, plumbing, glazing, and internal finishes.
Can outbuildings be built close to boundaries?
Yes, but there are height and positioning limits under permitted development. Party wall considerations may also apply.
Will building an outbuilding disrupt my garden?
There will be temporary disruption during construction, but gardens are typically restored once work is completed.
Can outbuildings add value to a property?
A well-built, functional outbuilding can add value and increase the usability of a property.
Do I need to inform my neighbours?
Formal neighbour consent is not always required, but party wall agreements may apply depending on proximity to boundaries.
