Garden Room in Emmer Green, Caversham (2025)
This charming little garden office was a lot of fun to work on. The client needed a place to focus and relax after a busy day. We built them this custom room in an unused corner of their garden. To ensure year round comfort we installed premium insulation & even fitted it with electrics.

Office & Gym in Sonning Common (2025)
This was one was a nice challenge! This room functions as a gym, office and lounge area. Our client needed some separation from work and home and we helped them come up with the perfect solution. The room is connected to the mains power supply. It has a working TV, desktop computer, sofa and set of weights nestled into the corner of the room.

We handle everything. We'll install your base, give you premium insulation and make sure your garden room has reliable power.
Base preparation
Choosing the right base can feel like a big decision — but don’t worry, we’ll help you select the best option for your site, building, and budget.
We have several methods to achieve an appropriate base for your new garden room, whether it be a timber subframe with or without ground screws or a fully reinforced concrete base with brick course build-up. Some methods are more robust than others, so we’ll help you pick something that works for you.
With the right base, your garden room will stand the test of time and resist the UK’s harsh weather conditions.

Garden Room Insulation
We will ensure your garden room is well insulated so that it can withstand freezing temperatures.
We use various insulations, which are then covered over by cladding such as Timber Tonge and groove boarding, plasterboard or something simpler such as ply sheeting.
At Kidbys, our commitment to versatility and comfort is evident in one of our most sought-after services – the creation of fully insulated and cladded buildings. This service transforms ordinary structures into havens of year-round utility.

Electrical Power Installation
We provide professional electrical installation services for garden offices, ensuring your workspace has reliable power for all your needs.
Our qualified electricians handle complete electrical solutions, from initial design through to final certification, installing safe and compliant electrical systems that meet current building regulations and British Standards.
Whether you need lighting, power outlets, heating circuits, or comprehensive electrical infrastructure, we deliver tailored installations that transform your garden office into a fully functional workspace with reliable electrical supply and complete certification for peace of mind.

Wood Preservation
Once construction is complete, we’ll make sure your garden room is protected for years to come. Our wood stain preservatives safeguard against the effects of:
- weathering
- UV rays
- moisture
Our process also enriches the wood’s natural grain and texture.

Garden Room FAQs
Will I need planning permission from Reading Council?
Usually, no.
For garden buildings placed within 2 meters of a boundary, the overall height must be below 2.5 meters from ground level to avoid the need for planning permission.
All of our buildings are designed with a maximum height of 2.5 meters to comply with these regulations. However, planning permission may still be required in some cases, such as in areas of outstanding natural beauty or listed buildings.
If your garden building is located more than 2 meters from a boundary, the maximum height for a dual-pitch roof increases to 4 meters before planning permission is necessary.
Do you serve my part of Reading?
Yes. We deliver & install to any RG post code. Whether you live in the center of town or on the outskirts (e.g Woodley, Spencer’s Wood) then we can help you.
Can you build a 100% bespoke Garden Room for me?
Yes and we love a challenge!
All of our buildings are made from scratch in our workshops. This allows us to make buildings of all shape and sizes. We can make buildings as bespoke as the mind can imagine, so feel free to send your ideas our way!
Can I design my garden room to serve different purposes throughout the day?
Yes, absolutely! Bespoke garden rooms are incredibly versatile and can easily serve multiple purposes. The beauty of a custom-built space is that it can be designed specifically to accommodate your changing needs.
Many clients use their garden rooms as combination spaces – for example, a home office during the day that transforms into an entertainment area in the evenings, or a games room that doubles as a guest bedroom when needed. With thoughtful design, you can incorporate features like:
- Flexible furniture that can be moved or folded away
- Built-in storage solutions to keep different equipment organized
- Multiple electrical circuits to support various uses (office equipment, entertainment systems, gaming setups)
- Appropriate insulation and climate control for year-round comfort
- Different lighting zones for work, relaxation, and entertainment
The key is discussing your intended uses during the design phase so the room can be properly equipped with the right power supply, lighting, flooring, and layout to support all your activities. Whether it’s a morning yoga studio, afternoon office, and evening cinema room, a well-designed bespoke garden room can adapt to your lifestyle seamlessly.
Will I be able to use my garden room year-round with the UK's unpredictable weather?
Absolutely! UK weather is exactly why proper insulation and climate control are so important in bespoke garden room design – and why we don’t cut corners on these essentials.
A well-built garden room is designed specifically for our climate. With proper insulation, double or triple glazing, and efficient heating systems, your space will be comfortable whether it’s a damp February morning or a scorching July afternoon. Many of our clients actually prefer working in their garden rooms during winter months because they feel cozy and connected to the outdoors without dealing with the elements.
The key features that make year-round use possible include:
- High-quality insulation in walls, floors, and roofs that exceeds building regulations
- Efficient heating systems (electric, air source heat pumps, or underfloor heating)
- Proper ventilation to prevent condensation and maintain air quality
- Quality windows and doors that seal properly against wind and rain
- Adequate electrical supply for heating, lighting, and equipment
Rather than weather being a limitation, many clients find their garden room becomes their favorite retreat during harsh weather – imagine having your morning coffee while watching the rain from your warm, comfortable space, or enjoying a cozy evening even when it’s freezing outside.
The investment pays for itself when you can use the space 365 days a year, not just during the few perfect weather days we get in the UK!
How long do installations take?
Installations typically take 1-2 days.
Projects that include additional internal finishes, such as electrical fit-outs, insulation, or internal cladding, may take an extra day.
How are we so fast? We complete 90% of the work in our workshop, reducing the time needed on-site.
What access do you require to my garden?
Ideally, we need side access with a minimum height clearance of 2.2m to install the building.
If this isn’t possible, we can still work with restricted access by creating sectional buildings. We’ll visit your site and work with you to plan everything accordingly, ensuring your installation goes smoothly.
Can I create a space that's conducive to both productivity and unwinding?
Absolutely! A well-designed bespoke garden room naturally creates the perfect balance between productivity and tranquility. The key is in the thoughtful design and your ability to create mental boundaries within the space.
For focus and productivity, garden rooms offer several advantages: they’re separate from household distractions, surrounded by nature which studies show improves concentration, and can be designed with proper lighting and acoustics for optimal work conditions. Many clients find they’re actually more productive in their garden office than they ever were working from home.
For relaxation, the same space transforms beautifully when you implement simple transitions – dimming lights, putting work materials away in built-in storage, or switching to comfortable seating areas. The natural setting and separation from the main house helps your mind shift gears from work mode to relaxation mode.
We often incorporate design elements that support both needs: adjustable lighting systems, zones for different activities, sound insulation for peace and quiet, and large windows or bi-fold doors that connect you with your garden. The beauty of being in your own outdoor sanctuary means you can truly switch off from daily stresses.
The separation from your main house is crucial – it creates a psychological boundary that helps you both focus when working and genuinely relax when you’re done.
