About Greenwood
An owner-run garden room company, starting properly.
Greenwood Garden Rooms is a new, owner-run business building insulated garden rooms and garden offices for homes across Hertfordshire, Essex and the surrounding area.
The brief is simple: a room you will actually use in February, specified honestly, installed cleanly, and sized to the garden you have rather than a brochure you do not need.
You talk to the person designing and installing the work — from the first site visit to the last sweep of the lawn.
- Insulated, year-round buildings — not a summer-only shed
- Clear, honest quotes after a proper look at your garden
- Owner-run from first visit to the last tidy-up
How they're used
A room for the way you actually live
Work from the garden
A quiet office with daylight, heat and a door that closes on the house — without a commute or a spare bedroom sacrificed.
Train at home
Keep the treadmill and weights out of the hallway. A dedicated gym or yoga room that is warm enough in January.
Make and play
Music, painting, pottery or a kids' den — a studio that can take a mess and still look like part of the garden.
Live a little larger
An extra sitting room, guest overflow or teenage snug, with doors that open onto the lawn when the weather allows.
Rooms we build
Studios, offices and rooms sized to your garden
Year-round home working
Garden Offices

Gym, yoga, wellness
Gyms & Leisure Rooms
A dedicated space for training, yoga or winding down.
The build
Specified for year-round use
Typical Greenwood rooms include an insulated structure, quality glazing, durable cladding and a base planned around your garden. Electrics and interior fit-out are quoted clearly so you know what is in and what is optional.
Insulated structure
Walls, floor and roof built for year-round comfort, not fair-weather weekends.
Quality glazing
Large openings for daylight, specified to the orientation of your garden.
Cladding that lasts
Timber and composite finishes chosen to sit with the house, not fight it.
Thoughtful base
Ground screws or a slab, planned around levels, trees and drainage.
Electrics-ready
Sockets, lighting and heating points laid out for how you will actually use the room.
Tidy install
A managed few days on site, then a room you can furnish — not a building site left behind.

Questions people actually ask
Planning, install and the practical bits
Do I need planning permission?+
Many garden rooms fall under permitted development if they stay within height and boundary limits and are used as incidental space (office, gym, studio) rather than a separate dwelling. We'll check your address, garden and proposed size and advise the simplest compliant route before you commit.
How long does installation take?+
A typical insulated room is on site for a small number of days once the base is ready, depending on size, glazing and access. Lead time before that depends on specification and the season — we'll give you a clear programme with the quote.
What about tight access?+
Side gates, long gardens and no vehicle access are common. We plan panel sizes and delivery around the route into the garden, and we'll flag any constraints on the site visit rather than discovering them on install day.
What is a garden office?+
A garden office is an insulated garden building specified for home working: desk space, plenty of power, good daylight and a door that separates work from the house. The structure is the same family as a garden room — the layout and electrics do the extra work.
Are the rooms insulated for winter?+
Yes. These are year-round buildings, not summer houses. Walls, floor and roof are insulated, openings are properly glazed, and the room is designed to take a simple electric heater or to connect into your electrics for comfortable winter use.
What is included in a quote?+
A Greenwood quote covers the building as specified — structure, insulation, cladding, doors, windows, and the install itself. Foundations, electrics connections and interior fit-out can be included or listed separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. We do not hide extras in the small print.
How much does a garden room cost?+
It depends on size, glazing, cladding and whether you need a new base or electrics. We will not publish a fake 'from' price. After a site visit we give a fixed, written quote for the room you actually want.
Where do you work?+
Across Hertfordshire, Essex and nearby towns — including St Albans, Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Hertford, Stevenage, Hitchin, Bishop's Stortford, Harlow, Epping and surrounding villages. Send a postcode if you would like us to confirm.
