Here are a few of our most Frequently Asked Questions…

What are the planning rules for garden rooms?

Typically, Garden Rooms are categorized as outbuildings, removing the need for planning permission in most instances. However, this condition applies only if you have permitted development rights for your property.

Residents of flats, tenements, maisonettes, or apartment buildings generally lack permitted development rights and may need planning permission. For clarification on the regulations governing your property, please contact us or consult your local planning office for tailored guidance.  You can find more information in our article  HERE.

Can you sleep in a garden room?

Yes, you can sleep in a garden room. Many of our clients have family members who live in them, thanks to the excellent construction and insulation of Swift Garden Rooms. However, if you intend to use your garden room for more than occasional overnight stays, it’s important to consider obtaining the appropriate planning permission and ensuring compliance with building regulations to ensure it meets the necessary standards.

Our garden rooms always adhere to building regulations standards, and our trusted planning expert is ready to assist with your application if needed. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any inquiries you may have—we’re here to support you.

Are garden rooms cold in winter?

If your garden room is well constructed with top-notch insulation and high-quality materials, like our custom-built rooms, then no, it won’t be cold in winter. We ensure our rooms are built to house-quality standards, guaranteeing warmth and coziness comparable to any other room in your home.

A Swift building will benefit from our SIP method of construction.

SIP panels, when cut to size, properly jointed and expertly installed, create one of the most highly efficient and robust structures presently available.  They exceed all current building regulations for heat insulation and airtightness and your building can be enjoyed and used whatever the weather.

Do garden rooms add value?

We believe that the benefits of adding a garden room to your property are plentiful and will add value to your home and life in many ways.  Garden rooms present an excellent opportunity to expand your property’s floor space. Unlike traditional home extensions or loft conversions, which can be disruptive and time-consuming, a Swift Garden Room can typically be installed within just two weeks. Moreover, many real estate experts concur that garden rooms can enhance the appeal and value of your property.
