Garden Room Ideas
What would you use it for?
Every room we design in Wigan starts with how you want to live. These are the spaces people ask us about most.
Across Wigan, Standish, Orrell, Shevington, Hindley and Ashton-in-Makerfield, we design garden rooms that give you the extra room your home has been missing.
Wigan homeowners ask us for garden offices, gyms, playrooms, teen dens and entertainment rooms — the room that makes everything else in the house work better.
Every design starts from how you want to use the space, and every room is insulated, glazed and wired for comfortable use all year.

Wigan's homes range from terraced streets close to the town centre to family semis and newer developments in Standish, Orrell and Shevington. Gardens vary just as much, from compact rear yards to generous plots backing onto open land.
Wigan also has a long coal mining history, and in some parts of the borough that can affect ground conditions. For a garden room, we look at the ground before choosing a foundation, and check the Coal Authority's information where it's relevant to your address.
Many garden rooms can be built without planning permission under permitted development, provided they stay within the height, size and position limits and are used for purposes incidental to the house. Planning across the borough is handled by Wigan Council.
Wigan has a number of conservation areas, where outbuildings need more care. We'll check the position for your property and explain it clearly before design is finalised.
