Residential Overview
Luxury and exceptional value for money, Unit can give you that extra space that you can use all year round.
Planning regulations were relaxed in 2008, meaning that planning permission is not always required for your garden unit - even if you are in a conservation area!
For more information regarding planning, please visit www.planningportal.gov.uk.
Ideal for use as home office, gym, playroom, studio, treatment room, the uses are endless. Costing less than an extension we can help you create extra living space that will add value to your property.
Your Unit will also save you money long term with its efficient running costs. Built using SIPS panels your unit hardly needs to use the underfloor heating as the building is so well insulated.
