A room you actually use in January.
Fully glazed and enclosed, without the cost or the disruption of a build. Sliding walls that open the whole side in summer and close it again in October.
Three decisions that shape it.
Sliding glass walls
Frameless or slim-framed panels that stack to one side. Open, it behaves like a pergola. Closed, it is a room.

Frameless or slim framed
Lockable
Insulated roof
An insulated sandwich panel instead of glass, over part or all of the roof. Keeps heat in through winter and glare out in July.

Year round use
With power, lighting and a heater it works as a room from February to November. Most people run a single electric panel heater and leave it at that.

Winter gardens we have fitted.
Before you book.
Is it warm enough in winter?
With an insulated roof and a panel heater, yes, for normal use. It is not a heated extension and we will not tell you it is. If you want it to perform like a room of the house, an extension is the honest answer.
Does it need planning permission?
More often than a pergola does, because it is enclosed and counts toward the exempted floor area. We check it at the survey and tell you plainly if you need to apply.
Can I put a kitchen or a bathroom in it?
No. It is a garden room, not a building-regulations extension. Anything with plumbing or a habitable-room requirement needs a different route.
How does it ventilate?
Through the sliding panels, and optionally through roof vents or a trickle system. Without ventilation any glazed room will get uncomfortable in July, so we always specify some.

A survey is free, takes about half an hour and puts you under no obligation.
