Bespoke Garden Rooms in Dorset & Hampshire
Buildsmith Property Services designs and builds high-quality garden rooms for homes across Dorset and Hampshire. Whether you need a dedicated home office, a tranquil retreat, a hobby space, or a garden gym, we create custom outdoor buildings that are functional, stylish, and built to last.
Our fully insulated, weatherproof garden rooms are tailored to your lifestyle and installed by our experienced in-house team—bringing together carpentry, electrical, and building expertise in one seamless service.
What Is a Garden Room?
A garden room is a standalone building in your garden that provides additional living or working space, separate from your main home. It’s a highly versatile solution for growing households, remote workers, fitness enthusiasts, and creatives seeking privacy and peace.
Unlike sheds or summerhouses, our garden rooms are constructed with proper insulation, double glazing, heating, and full electrics—making them suitable for year-round use.
Common uses include:
-
Home offices and studios
-
Garden gyms or yoga rooms
-
Art, music, or hobby studios
-
Guest rooms or teenage dens
-
Home bars or entertainment spaces
-
Garden treatment rooms for businesses
Designed Around Your Needs
Every home and garden is different, so we don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Our garden rooms are built to your size, layout, and finish preferences. We’ll help you choose the ideal configuration, including:
-
Size and shape to fit your outdoor space
-
Door and window placement for natural light
-
External cladding (cedar, composite, uPVC)
-
Flooring, lighting, and electrical layout
-
Roofing style and rainwater management
-
Heating and ventilation options
-
Foundations and access paths if required
Our team works closely with you to ensure your new garden room blends beautifully with your garden and complements your home.
Year-Round Comfort & Functionality
Our garden rooms are built to the same standards as modern home extensions—designed for comfort, durability, and all-season use.
Planning Permission & Building Regulations
In many cases, garden rooms fall under Permitted Development, meaning you won’t need planning permission—provided the building meets certain size and usage criteria.
We guide you through the process and ensure your structure complies with all relevant building regulations, especially if you plan to use the room as a guest bedroom or business premises.
If permission is required, we can liaise with your local planning authority and assist with drawings and documentation.
Every garden room includes:
-
Insulated floors, walls, and roof
-
Double-glazed windows and doors
-
Weatherproof cladding and roofing
-
Full electrical installation (lighting, sockets, heating)
-
Solid base or foundations
-
Optional internet/data cabling for connected use
Whether you’re taking Zoom calls, painting, working out, or unwinding, your space will feel warm in winter, cool in summer, and secure at all times.
