Garden Office Installation in Reading & Berkshire

🏗️ What's Included in Our Garden Office Installation?

We manage the full project from start to finish. That includes assessing ground conditions and laying the foundations (typically a concrete pad or screw pile system), constructing the insulated timber frame, fitting the roof, doors, and windows, and applying the external cladding. All electrical work is carried out by a qualified electrician.

The internal finish is to your specification — from basic plywood lining and power sockets through to fully insulated, plastered, decorated walls with data cabling and heating. We then carry out the surrounding landscaping: access path, paving, or stepping stones; tidy groundwork around the base; and any planting or screening the space needs. One contractor manages the entire project.

🌿 Why Choose a Landscaper for Your Garden Office?

Specialist garden room companies focus on the building itself. When the structure is complete, they leave — and you're left with a new office sitting in a disrupted garden with muddy boot marks, torn-up lawn, and no clear path to the door. Getting another contractor in to sort the landscaping is an extra cost, extra delay, and another set of people to coordinate.

We do both. We install the garden office and then complete the surrounding garden — path, paving, border, lawn reinstatement, or whatever the space needs. The result is a finished project, not a half-finished one. As a local Berkshire landscaper with over 13 years of experience, we understand how garden spaces work together, and we build accordingly.

📋 Do You Need Planning Permission for a Garden Office?

Most garden offices fall within permitted development and don't require planning permission. The main conditions are: the building must be single-storey; it must not sit in front of the principal elevation of the house; the eaves height must not exceed 2.5m if the building is within 2m of a boundary; and outbuildings in total must not cover more than 50% of the garden area.

If your property is listed, in a designated area, or subject to an Article 4 Direction, additional restrictions may apply. We'll assess the permitted development position during the site visit and can advise on whether a Lawful Development Certificate is worth obtaining for future peace of mind. The vast majority of garden office installations across Berkshire fall comfortably within permitted development.
