Frequently Asked Questions

Our buildings are completely bespoke and as such we can build to any size or indeed shape to suit your requirements. There are regulations to adhere to when building over 30m2 but again our team can advise on all of this and design your building to any necessary specification.
At Timber Rooms we pride ourselves in our superior construction techniques. Our Garden Rooms are built to the highest specification using the same construction methods used in traditional timber frame house building. This guarantees a solid, well insulated building that will last a lifetime.
It is not necessary to prepare the area prior to our arrival, it all depends on what you would like us to do. We offer a complete service so can remove any existing buildings and do all the necessary ground works as part of the project.

All of the doors and windows we install are designed to be used in houses. They have UV protected, toughened safety glass and all doors have a five point insurance backed locking system. For peace of mind alarm systems can be installed if required.
Our standard construction is far superior to most alternatives on the market. The thickness of the walls and the type of insulation we use create a fantastic acoustic barrier to both noise from the outside and any noise you may make inside. It is even possible to increase the level of soundproofing to a point where no sound will enter or escape at all.
