We couldn't be happier with the service and end product. We were struggling to find the right shed to fit all of our requirements. Now we have a fantastic new shed built to spec, delivered in good time and assembled really quickly. Communication throughout the process was great and Adam and the team were brilliant - professional and friendly.

Adam gave us a very reasonable quote to fix our leaning shed. He also indicated on the quote and invoice that had he not been able to fix then there would be absolutely no cost to us despite their travel cost etc. He literally worked the solution with some clever carpentry. He made it look so easy and was finished inside an hour Very very happy with his efficiency and his friendly professional conduct

Fast and extremely efficient from start to finish, everything explained every step of the way. And my two garden buildings are absolutely everything I wanted and more! Thank you Kidbys!

We have recently had a home office installed by Kidbys. Adam was very helpful and friendly. We are very pleased with the building. Adam’s team were very polite and answered any queries promptly. We would highly recommend Kidbys.

From the first time i contacted Kidbys, to visiting the site and talking through our vision, and throughout the build, Adam was really helpful, knowledgeable and patient. Kidbys deliver a really high quality service and product, built bespoke to our needs, in good time. Any questions or issues we had were responded to quickly and effectively. We could not rate them highly enough! Thank you for our new garden office, we will be enjoying it for a long time!

I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. I had a lovely garden office installed by them (in a previous guise of the company) 4 years ago. Last week I found that there had been quite a major leak from the felt roof. I called them up on Wednesday around 11am more out of hope than expectation. I was told the company had changed hands and they might not have my records, but to fill out an online form and they would check. Around 11.30 I was called back to ask if we were at home during the day (we both work from home). At 1.30pm I had a call to say they were in the area could they pop in to check the damage. At 1.50pm Adam (who did the original installation) and a colleague turned up. He said they had brought a replacement rubber roof with them (normally 15 year guarantee and 50 year expected lifetime) explaining they didn't use felt anymore for precisely the issues I had experienced. By 3pm the office was watertight with a brand new roof and I had a huge smile on my face. The price? Nothing. I didn't know this kind of service exists, but I want you all to know that you are completely safe in the hands of these guys. Please use them, they deserve your business.

Adam was so helpful throughout - he supported us build a bespoke cabin to suit our garden space and fit our requirements & budget. Not only that but from design to install took just 4 weeks. We are so pleased with the finished product and can’t wait to start using it! Thanks Adam!

Working with Kidbys has been an absolute pleasure from the moment we turned up at their premises, the professional build of our bespoke summerhouse and the after build service. Adam is the epitome of customer service, always responding quickly, going out of his way to get the outside colour we wanted, to helping us with other things he didn't need to do. I can't recommend them enough. A big thanks to Adam and the team.

FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a garden room?

In most cases, no — as long as your build meets a few straightforward conditions:

  • It must be single storey and cannot be built in front of your property
  • If positioned within 2 metres of a boundary, the total height cannot exceed 2.5 metres
  • It cannot take up more than 50% of your garden
  • It cannot be used for living in or as a base for your business

There are some exceptions worth being aware of. These permitted development rights vary significantly for listed buildings, conservation areas, and designated zones like Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

If you’re unsure, we’d always recommend checking with your local planning authority before you proceed — or simply ask us and we’ll help point you in the right direction.

In most cases, yes. A well-built garden room is widely regarded by estate agents as a valuable addition to a property — both in terms of sale price and how quickly it sells.

Beyond the numbers, it’s worth thinking about the value you’ll get while you’re still living there. Whether it becomes a home office, a gym, a studio or simply a space to escape to, a garden room adds a genuinely useful room to your home — without the disruption and cost of a traditional extension.

As with any home improvement, quality matters. A well-insulated, properly built garden room is an asset. A poorly built one isn’t — which is why the craftsmanship behind the Elite range matters as much to us as it does to you.

Yes — and if it’s built properly, you shouldn’t notice much difference between using it in July and using it in January.

The key is insulation. A well-insulated garden room retains heat in winter, stays cool in summer, and keeps energy costs down year-round.

All of our Elite range garden rooms are built with high-performance insulation as standard, so whether you’re working from home on a grey February morning or unwinding on a warm summer evening, your garden room will be ready when you are.

Everything you need to get started is included as standard — here’s what’s covered with every Elite range garden room:

Insulation — All of our garden rooms are built with high-performance insulation included as standard. No upgrades needed, no corners cut.

Delivery — We’ll bring everything to you. Delivery is included in the price, wherever you are.

Installation — Our own team handles the full installation from start to finish, so you don’t need to source separate tradespeople or manage multiple contractors.

Electrics — We can take care of your electrics too. Whether you need sockets, lighting, heating or a full fit-out, our team can discuss the options with you and provide a tailored quote.

For doors, you can choose from sliding doors, French doors or bifold doors, each bringing a different character and feel to your space. You can even combine door types if your layout calls for it.

Windows can be positioned and sized to suit how you want light to enter the room and how you want it to look from the outside — our team will guide you through the options when you get in touch.

We offer three cladding options, each with its own distinct character and finish — so you can choose the one that best suits your style, your garden and how much maintenance you’re happy with.

Western Red Cedar — A naturally beautiful timber with rich, varied colouring and a contemporary flat profile. Cedar is virtually knot-free with hidden fixings for a clean, refined finish. As a living material it requires periodic oiling to keep it looking its best.

Scandinavian Redwood — Full of rustic charm and natural character. Slow-grown Redwood is rich in knots and grain, giving every build a truly individual feel. It requires periodic painting or staining, which also lets you put your own stamp on the colour.

Marley Board — A premium fibre cement cladding that delivers the look of timber without any of the upkeep. Completely maintenance-free, A-rated for fire resistance, and available in five colour finishes — Light Grey, Tea Green, Pebble, Dark Grey and Slate Grey.

Can’t decide? We also offer a Hybrid option, combining two cladding types for a truly bespoke finish. Get in touch and we’ll help you find the right combination.

That largely depends on the cladding material you choose — it’s the main factor that affects your ongoing upkeep.

Western Red Cedar requires periodic oiling to protect the wood and keep it looking its best. It’s a straightforward task, and many customers see it as part of owning a natural timber building.

Scandinavian Redwood needs painting or staining periodically. This also gives you the flexibility to change the colour of your garden room over time if you fancy a refresh.

Marley Board requires no maintenance at all. No painting, no oiling, no staining — ever. If you want a garden room you can simply enjoy without thinking about upkeep, Marley is the one for you.

Beyond cladding, we’d recommend giving your garden room a general check-over once a year — clearing gutters, checking seals around doors and windows, and keeping the area around the base clear of debris. Nothing time-consuming, just sensible care that will keep your building performing well for years to come.

Doors are available in four colours: Anthracite Grey, White, Cream and Black. Whether you want something bold and contemporary or clean and classic, there’s an option to suit.

Cladding colours depend on the material you choose:

Western Red Cedar comes in its natural form — its rich, varied colouring is part of its charm and will evolve beautifully over time with regular oiling.

Marley Board is available in five contemporary finishes — Light Grey, Tea Green, Pebble, Dark Grey and Slate Grey — so you can select your colour from the outset with no painting required.
