In today’s fast-paced world, homeowners are increasingly seeking peaceful, functional retreats steps away from their homes. Bespoke garden rooms offer the perfect blend of comfort, style, and versatility — whether you’re creating a home office, yoga studio, or guest accommodation. At Custom Garden Rooms, we design, manufacture, and install high-quality garden buildings tailored to your needs across Shropshire and surrounding areas.
With over 55 five-star reviews on Trustpilot, our reputation is built on a seamless, customer-first experience — from concept to completion. Here’s how we bring your bespoke garden room to life.
1. From Vision to Plan: Your Initial Consultation
Every bespoke garden room begins with an in-depth conversation. Our process starts with understanding how you want to use your space — whether it’s a garden office, gym, art studio, or a tranquil retreat.
During the initial consultation, we discuss:
- The intended function of the room
- Available garden space and layout
- Budget expectations
- Preferred design styles and finishes
Our experienced team offers expert advice and showcases previous projects to inspire your ideal layout and features. From modern minimalist cabins to rustic hideaways, each structure is unique to the homeowner.
We’ll also assess your site conditions, access, and orientation to ensure optimal design and functionality.
2. Designing Your Perfect Garden Building
With your vision in mind, our in-house design team transforms ideas into detailed plans using 3D visualisation tools. This ensures you see exactly how your garden room will look within your existing landscape.
You can choose from a range of layouts and customisable features such as:
- Open-plan or sectioned spaces
- Additional windows or skylights for natural light
- Roof overhangs for shade and weather protection
- Decking or patio extensions
Our goal is to balance aesthetics with functionality, ensuring your garden pod complements your lifestyle and property.
3. Selecting Materials and Bespoke Features
Once the design is confirmed, you’ll select from a premium range of materials and finishes. We prioritise both sustainability and durability, using products that perform well year-round.
Popular material and feature choices include:
- Western Red Cedar or composite cladding for a modern finish
- Insulated panels for superior energy efficiency
- Double-glazed aluminium bi-fold or sliding doors
- Laminate or engineered wood flooring
- Fully integrated electrical systems, Wi-Fi, and bright lighting
Additional options like underfloor heating, built-in storage, and soundproofing are available to ensure the space meets your exact needs.
4. Planning Permission & Site Preparation
In many cases, garden rooms fall under permitted development rights — but when planning permission is needed, Custom Garden Rooms will guide you through the process. We have extensive knowledge of local planning requirements in Shropshire, making compliance stress-free.
Before installation begins, we’ll prepare the site by:
- Clearing and levelling the area
- Installing concrete or screw pile foundations
- Managing drainage and access considerations
Our team handles all groundwork with minimal disruption to your garden and routine.
5. Manufacturing and Installation
All garden buildings are manufactured at our UK-based facility, ensuring tight quality control and efficient turnaround times. Once fabrication is complete, our skilled installation team arrives on-site to assemble your garden room with precision.
Typical installation timelines:
- Groundworks: 1–2 days
- Assembly: 5–10 days, depending on complexity
- Interior finishing: 2–3 days
Throughout the build, our team maintains regular communication, ensuring you’re informed every step of the way.
6. Final Touches & Aftercare
The final stage of your project includes:
- Internal finishing (painting, flooring, electrics)
- Quality assurance checks
- A client walk-through to ensure everything meets expectations
We also provide full aftercare, including:
- Warranty documentation
- Maintenance tips for long-lasting performance
- Ongoing customer support after installation
This commitment to service is reflected in our glowing Trustpilot reviews, where clients regularly praise our professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
