How much space do I need for a garden office?

You can start with as little as 2m x 2m. Most people choose a footprint between 2.5m and 3.5m deep, depending on layout and usage.

Are small garden offices insulated?

Yes. Ours are fully insulated in the floor, roof and walls using breathable, high-performance materials. This keeps the space usable all year.

Can I install electricity and Wi-Fi in a small office?

Absolutely. We pre-wire your cabin for electrics, and you can run Wi-Fi from your home router or use a wired connection or booster.

Do I need planning permission for a small garden office?

Usually not. If your office is under 2.5m in height and fits within permitted development rights, you won’t need planning permission.

What’s the cost of a small garden office?

Costs start from around £12,000. The final price depends on the size, materials, features and finish you choose.

How do I furnish a compact workspace?

Keep it simple: a good desk, ergonomic chair, and clever storage. We can help with built-in shelves or furniture that suits your layout.

What are the best uses for small garden buildings?

Beyond offices, small garden buildings make great studios, therapy rooms, craft spaces, reading nooks or even compact gyms.

The team from Noah Garden Rooms were absolutely first class. They arrived on time, were friendly, efficient and got straight on with the job. The building itself is superb quality and construction, and I could not be more pleased.

— Richard Lazenby

The sales team were very helpful at the start and made adding optional extras to the garden room very easy. The quality of the garden room is excellent and the installation team were great. They arrived on time, were friendly, talked me through the process and completed the installation to a high standard.

— Mark Carter-Morris

I cannot fault Noah Garden Rooms. From the first contact with Tilly through to delivery and assembly by Harry and Mat, the whole process was faultless, professional and friendly. I would have no problem using Noah again and would happily recommend them to anyone planning a new garden building.

— Alan Yates

Overall, Noah Garden Rooms have been fabulous. We were impressed with how much scope there was to personalise the build, including the style and location of the window. Installation was incredibly smooth and impressive, with the team arriving early and completing our 8ft x 8ft garden room by the end of the day. The room looks fantastic and we cannot wait to use it. We will be happy to recommend Noah Garden Rooms to anyone who asks.

— Helen Strother

The team took care of everything from start to finish and the build went very smoothly. The team showed real care throughout, and the electrician explained everything clearly. The garden pod is now up and running with the bar installed and the TV up. Everyone likes what has been done.

— William Barlow

I was a little nervous about ordering from a company I did not know much about, but after doing plenty of research I am so glad I chose Noah Garden Rooms. The Otley Deluxe is fantastic, the reinforced floor feels really solid and the room looks great. The fitters, John and Darren, were friendly, skilled and efficient, and I have already used the garden room lots. I would happily recommend Noah Garden Rooms and would use them again in the future.

Do Small Garden Offices Need Planning Permission?

In most cases, you won’t need planning permission to install a small garden office. As long as the height stays below 2.5 metres and the structure sits within your garden boundaries, your build will usually fall under permitted development rules. These rules apply to outbuildings that are not used as permanent dwellings or placed too close to a boundary.

However, if your garden is in a conservation area or the building is to be used for regular client visits, you should check with your local authority. We’ll guide you through the regulations and ensure your new office is compliant with all relevant rules.

We’ve also put together a detailed guide on when you do and don’t need planning permission.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Really knowledgeable staff and so so helpful. Megan was so patient in answering all of my ridiculous questions. I have never ordered anything like this before, but the process was so easy and I felt very confident in what I was ordering as the website is really easy to navigate with really helpful information. Delivered and erected seamlessly with really polite, knowledgeable and courteous workmen. Cannot recommend this company highly enough. I absolutely love my garden room - everything is exactly as I ordered and it looks fantastic. All of my expectations have been exceeded. I can’t believe what an easy and calm process it was from start to finish. Thank you so much. I will add more photos soon.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I purchased a Mylor composite garden office from Noah garden rooms. Initially my partner and I were trepidatious about the base and delivery and the length of our garden as the stipulations by Noah were quite specific and our garden was quite away from the main road. I sent a video and multiple pictures of the site and then the base after it had been constructed, all the while liaising with Megan and Tilly at customer services to make sure everything went smoothly. On the day of the delivery the lads turned up nice and early and began work straight away. They didn't mention how far away the site was or that we had to help because of the distance, just began work on the office. Unlike some workmen who spend all their time having lunch in their van these boys worked hard and for the two days kept me upto date as they went. I'm very happy with the office itself and can understand why the specifications are so specific. It's been a month now and I love it, I spend a lot of time in there and have now made half into a library. Would recommend Noah to anybody who listened.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From ordering through to delivery the service was faultless. The Ashbourne garden room is well designed and solidly constructed. Communication from the Noah team was excellent with losts of updates and advice. The fitters arrived spot on time and worked hard to complete the installation, were very friendly and concientious. They left the room and surrounding area spotless.  Would not hesitate to recommend Noah to anyone considering getting a garden room from them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Show room is lovely, well worth visiting. The products are amazing, we bought a very large summer house and the total cost and value for money compared to other companies were second to none. The only issue which isn’t asked at point of sale which I have fed back is access to the garden where the product is going. Before purchasing make sure you have this conversation, we were a linked detached with only access to the garden through the garage which later cost us £300 to have to have the panels built to size to fit through the garage door and a section built a lot smaller. That being said the two guys that came to fit Paul being one, well they deserve 5* just on their own. We have never met two more, helpful, pleasant guys ever. These two are a real asset and credit to you.
