Answers to common questions about garden rooms in Winchester.

Common questions

Is this site the garden room installer?+

No. This site is an independent referral service. Enquiries are passed to a separate, local installer who carries out any work and deals with you directly.

Do I have to pay to use this site?+

No, submitting an enquiry is free for homeowners. The site may be funded by a referral fee paid by the installer, not by the homeowner.

Which areas does this cover?+

This site covers Winchester and the surrounding towns and villages, including places such as Chandler's Ford, Eastleigh, New Alresford, Bishop's Waltham, Kings Worthy and the smaller villages around the city.

Am I obliged to go ahead once I get a quote?+

No. There's no obligation to proceed after receiving a written quote, and you're free to get quotes from other installers to compare.

What happens after I submit an enquiry?+

Your enquiry is passed to one local installer covering your area, who will contact you directly to discuss your project and arrange next steps.

Should I check the installer's insurance and credentials myself?+

Yes. We'd recommend checking an installer's own trading history and insurance for the specific job, and getting everything you agree in writing before any work starts.

Do I need planning permission for a garden room?+

Many garden rooms are built under permitted development, but this depends on the size, height and position of the building and on your specific property. Winchester City Council's planning pages and the Planning Portal's outbuildings guidance are good starting points.

Can I get more than one quote?+

Yes, and it's generally a good idea to compare more than one written quote before deciding who to go with.

Do you cover garden offices and studios as well as garden rooms?+

Yes, this site covers garden rooms along with related services such as garden offices, garden studios and garden annexes.

Is my information shared with anyone other than the matched installer?+

Your enquiry is passed to the one local installer matched to your area so they can contact you about your project.
