Awesome project, thank you for sharing the process, Rich. I am planning on building a garden room over the winter and found your videos very informative.
Brilliant job Rich, especially as you're not in the building trade. I'm looking at building something similar (we already have a 3x3m concrete slab so should save a few quid/hours), although will probably use SIPS panels. I'll show this video to 'she that must be obeyed' as a source of inspiration/gentle arm twisting🤣 Once again, very well done mate👍
Great job/collection of videos. A couple of questions spring to mind (for now…): What was the process for getting electric into the building? From your experience to date, have you required any heating in the room?
Thanks John! I'll do my best to answer your questions. 1. I was lucky enough to have electricity already laid down to the end of my garden. If you don't have this already then you'll need to dig a trench and run an armoured cable down the garden. I didn't do any videos on electrics because I didn't feel knowledgeable enough to talk about it but essentially I have a circuit for lights and another for plugs. I then had an electrician sign off all the work I did. 2. Yes, in the winter it does get cold! I have a small 1100W electric heater (www.electricradiatorsdirect.co.uk/haverland-designer-rc-wave-rc7wplus-electric-radiator-anthracite-1100w/?mc_cid=38b5b975f6&mc_eid=14f2740f43) that does the job though. The lowest temperature it got to over the winter was probably -1 or -2 Celsius and for that temperature it took around an hour or 2 to get up to 18 degrees which is my target temp. The insulation is good though and maintains the heat well. In December it cost me £20 for the month to heat and I used it every day in the week for work. I hope some of that info is helpful!
Thanks v much Rich…very helpful. I’m planning ahead to next spring/summer…hoping to build a garden room and a garden shed…I’ll message if I have further questions.
Thanks Veronica! I got the doors from Screwfix via a company called Crystal. I just looked and unfortunately they don't stock them anymore. Mine are 2m wide, Anthracite Grey uPVC doors and I did a quick Google and can see a bunch of options :)
Thanks! I think a flat roof with the rubber membrane is very durable. A pitched roof was never an option for me due to height restrictions. I would have had to get planning permission to have a pitched roof.
@@richclifford4571 excellent thanks for the reply. I’m planning on building something similar in the next couple of months. You did a really great job and the final results looks amazing
Super impressed Rich! With some grit and determination you created a beautiful space! Well done! :-)
Thanks!

Thanks Ian, I really appreciate it. I hope this video helps with the convincing! Good luck with the build!
This is a great step-by-step video Rich, well done on the build !! Did you ever work out how many hours/days it took you to complete?
Hey Rich great job! I read it was a five month process, obviously this was in your spare time. If you had to guess, how many days work was it?
Looks nice and well done, what was the size of it, thanks for the share
Thanks Anthony! It's 3.2m wide and 4m deep

Please do! Good luck!
How much take you cost if that 😊
great video looks amazing. where did you purchase the grey doors from?

@@richclifford4571 aww thanks anyway
Can any one recommend timber frame for the toilet what is need in additional what Rich put in
What is the size of garden room ?
You didn't put dpm down before putting the insulation boards in. If the timber absorbs moisture the insulation boards will be pointless.
I will watch this everyday till I build on
Looks great! What are the dimensions?
Hey Rory, thanks! It's 4.2m long by 3m wide. Basically going as wide as my garden would allow!
Nice work! By the way, is horizontal roof not so durable as inclined one?
Thanks! I think a flat roof with the rubber membrane is very durable. A pitched roof was never an option for me due to height restrictions. I would have had to get planning permission to have a pitched roof.
How much was it estimated in cost?
Dimensions
the room is 4.2 x 3m
How much did it cost you in the end?
Hey Chris, it came out at just over £6k
