Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Summer Houses services answered.
Do I need planning permission for a summer house?
Most summer houses under 2.5 m high and not used as sleeping accommodation fall under permitted development. We check your garden’s specifics and handle any applications if needed.
How long does it take to build a summer house?
Standard builds take 2–4 weeks from start to finish. Smaller retreats are quicker; full studios with plumbing take longer. We’ll give you a firm timeline after the site visit.
Can it be used all year round?
Yes! We insulate walls, floor and roof, fit double glazing and can add heating. Many clients use their summer house as an office or gym right through winter.
Do you install electrics and plumbing?
Absolutely – we fit lighting, sockets, heaters, Wi-Fi boosters, and even small en-suites or kitchenettes. All work is certified and safe.
What foundations do you use?
We lay concrete pads, ground screws or eco-pads depending on your ground and budget. Everything is level, stable and built to last.
What guarantee do you offer?
Full 10-year structural guarantee on the building, plus warranties on cladding, windows and electrics. We stand behind every summer house we build.

Excellent job
Excellent job. So pleased with the work carried out to complete a small patio. Had full confidence in Paul from first visit and he was quick to quote and book in a time. Paul was also very helpful in finding matching sandstone paving. We’re delighted with the result and definitely recommend.
