Getting more from a Crawley garden
Crawley gardens are typically regular, level and well proportioned - which makes them ideal for a garden room, and easy to get badly wrong. Drop a standard box against the back fence and you lose the garden. Set it at an angle, screen it with planting and open it onto a terrace, and the garden gets bigger.
We design the building and its setting together, so the room reads as part of the garden instead of a shed with better cladding.
Offices, studios and gyms
With Gatwick and the London commute on the doorstep, most Crawley briefs start as a home office. Acoustic lining, proper data, and glazing positioned to avoid screen glare are what make one work day to day.
- Bespoke garden offices with acoustic lining and hard-wired data
- Insulated year-round garden studios
- Gyms with reinforced flooring, ventilation and mirrored walls
- Guest rooms with shower rooms
Planning permission in Crawley
Crawley Borough Council follows the standard permitted development rules, and the vast majority of garden rooms qualify. Watch the 2.5m height limit within 2m of a boundary - it is the one that catches people out on a compact plot.
We check the constraints on your address before quoting and handle any application if one is needed.

Crawley garden room questions
- How much is a garden room in Crawley?
- From around £25,000 fully finished for a compact insulated office or studio, typically £35,000 to £50,000 for a larger room with a terrace or shower room.
- Do I need planning permission in Crawley?
- Usually not. Single storey, under 2.5m high within 2m of a boundary, no more than half the garden covered and not a separate dwelling keeps a room within permitted development. We check your plot before quoting.
- Can a garden room be used as a permanent office?
- Yes. Insulated envelope, certified electrics, heating and hard-wired data mean it works as a proper year-round workplace rather than a summer room.
- How quickly can you start?
- Typically six to ten weeks from first call to build start, then two to four weeks on site.
