When we decided to have garden offices built, we approached a few companies but Alison and John at Executive Garden Rooms stood out from the start, due to their extensive knowledge, experience, organisation and professionalism. No question was a silly question, which was very reassuring and helpful as it was the first time we had embarked on this type of ‘home improvement’!
The entire process from deciding the specification all the way through to the final coat of paint was made very simple by Alison, who regularly kept us up to date of progress throughout the build.
When it came to the build, John and the subcontractors were very hardworking, polite, approachable and genuinely a pleasure to have on site.
We are really pleased with the garden offices as they are comfortable, warm, very well finished and a nice place to be in, which is a testament to Alison, John and the team’s experience and hard work.
We are delighted with our superb garden room and the service provided by Alison, John and the team. The communication, efficiency and workmanship have been second to none. It has been a very painless experience and I wouldn’t hesitate in wholeheartedly recommending Executive Garden Rooms to anyone.
We are completely over the MOON with the service from Alison, John and the team at Executive Garden Rooms – with an awkwardly shaped garden, they took our plans and turned it into reality within a few weeks.
It was mind blowing to see how organised and efficient they are on site. We went for a blacked out style with integral blinds which I would HIGHLY recommend – an absolute game changer.
If you’re looking for a garden room/office, then I couldn’t recommend EGR high enough, thank you so much for building our dream garden office!!!
Wow! We are so glad we found Alison and John at Executive Garden Rooms! We did our research but little did we know just what a good decision it was to choose them to build my studio. They are a dream team – fiercely well organised, brilliant communication and John’s workmanship and eye for detail is second to none. In fact the same can be said for all of the people he used – electrician, roofer, plumber, groundsman and mastic man (didn’t know there was such a person!). All polite hard workers. We could not be more delighted with the finished studio. The build quality is streets ahead of the competition and we consider the project excellent value for money. We recommend Alison and John wholeheartedly.
First class experience. Every detail covered by Alison and the friendly approach from John and all the team really sets them apart. Excellent tradesmen used all round. Highly recommend.
Our two garden rooms in our woodlands are now finished and they have surpassed our high expectations. There was no slippage in start and finish date even with adding a smaller garden room into the equation by us at the last minute. The quality of the materials and workmanship are faultless. The thought and attention to detail superb. We really are pleased and have no hesitation in recommending to the highest level.
We wanted an office that was not a glorified shed but an immovable structure that would last for years and add real value to our home. EGR are not the lowest cost out there but it became crystal clear when we were doing our research that the superior quality, dedication to the job in hand, knowledge, and workmanship was on another level. It became an easy decision in the end as we wanted this done properly and were willing to pay a bit more to have that peace of mind.
We couldn’t have made a better decision and we are absolutely delighted with the result! Alison didn’t leave any stone unturned and ensured we had everything how we wanted it. She also made it really stress free. John and his team arrived 7.30 every morning and worked through until the early evening. They just got on with it and again stress free from our point of view.
John himself is friendly, highly knowledgeable and experienced and gave us full confidence. Adam, his sidekick on the project, was very personable and worked his socks off. A huge asset to EGR. The other traders brought in were equally competent but by then we wouldn’t have expected anything less!
All in all we are delighted with the office and I would say anyone thinking of having an office or garden room look no further than Executive Garden Rooms.
We have just had a beautiful family garden room built by Executive Garden Rooms, John and his team have done a great job and finished with attention to detail to our exact specifications, nothing was too much trouble, keeping us informed every step of the way during construction.
From her first site visit Alison put us at ease and was really great at bringing all the elements together on site from the office and answering any questions we had before, during and after construction, also being in a conservation area she had lengthy negotiations with the planning department and organised a tree survey to obtain great results.
We have had so many compliments from family, friends and neighbours. It’s really difficult to put into words how good our garden room is for us and what great people EGR are!
From start to finish, the process with executive garden rooms has been easy, stress free and completely professional.
We have an amazing high quality building, stylish, well made and will last for many many decades.
Alison, John and the whole team have been a dream to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Having whittled down my choice of contractors from many throughout the UK, Executive Garden Rooms came out on top for many reasons, but always my number one thing to look out for is the people, and I couldn’t have been more delighted with Alison and John and the way they were with me and my family.
The quality of the build is top class, everything they promised was achieved, their timescales were spot on and everyone of their team (builders / subbies etc) were also really nice people to have on site.
I have already recommended them to others as I would have no issues putting my name to their business and what they achieve – a fantastic job at the right price.
I’m having the garden re-landscaped now as the Annexe is making everything else look bad against the quality build !! so pictures will follow once its complete.
From start to finish our experience with EGR has been second to none. The design and commissioning of the garden room, including some bespoke modifications, was both speedy and efficient and the final build took place precisely on schedule. Our building, which has been constructed on site from scratch, is of a very high quality, extremely well insulated and beautifully finished. It has been a pleasure to work with EGR.
Seven years ago Executive Garden Rooms built a beautiful garden office for me, and all was efficient, friendly and in good order.
Recently a problem developed, and when I looked to get in touch with the company I half expected it to have ceased trading or not to be that interested to help resolve the issue. However, and I see this as the mark of a good company to deal with, John and Alison at Executive Garden Rooms went out of their way to resolve the issue very quickly and without any fuss. This involved in John needing to travel a considerable distance using much of his valuable time.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company.
Just had my Project Completed by EGR and it was an absolute pleasure to work with them.
The team on site were really well organised, there were no issues, no mess, and everything was communicated in great detail 🙂
The quality of the build is very high and it really will make a huge difference to my work going forward.
Would highly recommend giving them a shout if you are interested.
From start to finish, Alison and John were fantastic. We would highly recommend them. Alison’s calm advice and patience in the face of indecision was much appreciated. Our project needed planning permission and a tree survey and Alison made the whole process run smoothly. Neither Alison or John are afraid to say if they think something won’t work (always very diplomatically!) and this was something that we valued highly as novices at new buildings. John runs a tight ship and has very high standards, and he, Adam, and Gav worked long hours and were always cheerful. The site was always left tidy and we were kept informed with a clear timetable and regular updates. We love our garden room which has turned out better than we could have hoped. It is an oasis of calm and that is all down to Executive Garden Rooms.
We recently had our garden room building made by Alison, John and their team and we couldn’t be happier!
Alison provided us with exactly what we wanted and went out of her way to accommodate us with our dream building, by regularly communicating with us, showing us examples of what to expect and keeping us updated.
The team, when on site, were so friendly and respectful whilst working. They were incredibly professional and the standard of their work is exceptional and very fast too! I couldn’t believe how quickly they worked, putting in long hours and with attention to detail too.
We had previously contacted several other companies who were not a patch on this company.
Our building is beautiful, incredibly well insulated, warm, amazing decor and exactly what we wanted. In fact, it’s probably even better than what we expected!
I have no hesitation in recommending Alison and John and their incredible team for providing a garden room of the highest quality. Thank you for everything. Danny and I and the rest of the family are over the moon!
We are so pleased we chose Executive Garden Rooms for our garden room, which we are using as an office and a gym.
The whole team, but especially Alison and John, were easy to work with and helpful from start to finish. All their chosen partners were equally helpful.
They kept me fully updated on progress and scheduling and we discussed and agreed any alterations – a really transparent process.
I was expecting some of the elements to be pre-assembled, but everything is handcrafted from start to finish and I know will stand the tests of time and UK weather. Thank you!
We can not speak highly enough of the whole team at Executive Garden Rooms. The design process with Alison was very informative, communication was always brilliant and then once the build started it was no stress for us at all the have John and the team on site. The garden room is really high quality, especially compared to others I have seen. It’s transformed our garden and we could not be happier.
When looking for a company to build our Garden Room and Workshop in the garden of our new home in Dorchester we contacted Executive Garden Rooms and viewed one of their buildings.
The build quality looked exceptionally good, and Alison provided us with plenty of helpful information.
John conducted a site visit and talked through the practicalities of delivering the building we wanted and suggested features that would make the garden room more adaptable as our family needs changed over time.
Alison managed the admin brilliantly with materials always in the right place at the right time. John managed the build and led his team from the front. What a team! They were always on time, showed a happy disposition throughout and had a work ethic second to none.
The final build is stunning and much admired by all who see the buildings. We know that the thermal properties of the build is such that we can use the buildings 365 days of the year and with a small heat input will be toasty even in the coldest days of the winter.
Beyond that we feel that the buildings will give many decades of service with very little required regarding maintenance, such is the quality of the fittings and the build.
We have just retired having run our own business and employed many, many builders in that time and we can safely say that Executive Garden Rooms Ltd are up there with the very best. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new Garden Building.
If you are thinking of building a special room for your garden, then have a chat with Alison and John as I am sure they will look after you exceptionally well.
Good luck to all at EGR – Best Wishes for all you do in the future.
A fantastic experience from start to finish, EGR really deserve their excellent reputation and five-star reviews. After viewing quite a few buildings and receiving many quotes, EGR definitely stood out from the crowd. The design and quality of their buildings is first-class, with durable construction and great insulation.
We wanted a bespoke garden room that was wheelchair-friendly and fully accessible. EGR were happy to accommodate all of our very specific requirements and find functional solutions that looked great too. They were willing to go through lots of iterations until we had a design that was just right.
When it came to the build, it was seamless, everything was so well managed and ran like clockwork. We were kept well informed at every step and deliveries were organized to maintain access to our tricky driveway. Everyone at EGR, as well as their subcontractors, were extremely courteous, friendly, and hard-working. They were meticulous in their work and made sure the site was kept immaculately tidy.
The result speaks for itself, the attention to detail and quality craftsmanship make it a stunning addition to our garden and an extension to our living space. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend EGR and we are so pleased that we chose them for our project.
We cannot praise this company enough. From start to finish they have been excellent. They stuck to the agreed start date and finished on time despite some bitterly cold weather to start with.
We built a garden room 6.25 x 2.9 meters with shower/toilet facilities. The overall quality and finish is faultless.
We were always kept updated with weekly work schedules.
Alison and John, run a small company to be proud of…that cannot be said about many companies out there.Thank You
Executive Garden Rooms build my garden office in January 2021. The team did a fantastic job and I am very happy with the result. The entire process was faultless, even during a difficult period with Covid. The team were tidy, organised, punctual, communicative and industrious. I would recommend EGR to anyone looking to add a quality room to their garden.
There have so far been 25 Google reviews about EGR and each have given a 5 star rating. It is no coincidence. Having just had a garden studio built by this fantastic team, led by John and Alison, they are every bit as good as the reviews suggest. From initial enquiry through to completion we witnessed exceptional service, friendly and helpful advice and a quality of construction that exceeded our highest expectations. Nothing was too much trouble from John on site and behind the scenes Alison communicated with us throughout the project with incomparable efficiency. We knew what to expect at every stage and unsurprisingly the project finished both on time and on budget. We unhesitatingly recommend them.
Very pleased with the garden office that EGR built for us.
Impressed with the quality of workmanship and it was a pleasure to have John and the team on-site – always courteous and polite.
Would thoroughly recommend.
Thank you!
This was a very smooth process from start to finish. The whole team where so professional.
Excellent daily updates via email about what stage we where at and the quality of the build team was superb. Tidy after each day and finished as stated from the outset.The finished room is great quality and I enjoy working in it every day.
Thanks EGR
Great team very friendly, efficient & professional. Excellent communication throughout from Alison & John ensuring that the finished build is exactly what we wanted. Delighted with the high quality completed room, to be used as a gym. Cannot find any fault with this company and would highly recommend.
Excellent service, the build ran seamlessly. Build quality excellent. I now have my very own gym. John and Gavin were a delight, very respectful and very hard working. Alison in the office tirelessly project managed and liaised with us brilliantly. John came round after the project was over to put up a blind and fix my TV to the wall.
I would definitely recommend this company.
Superb from first enquiry to final handover of the garden room. We arranged for John to visit to see the site, demonstrate materials and agree final dimensions and a formal quote from Alison quickly followed. We also went to see a fully built room in Ferndown before confirming. All aspects of the contract are very clearly laid out. Although COVID introduced a small delay, communications re start dates were excellent. There was a major challenge at the start of the build when the mini digger was too big to get through to the rear garden, but John and Paul worked tirelessly to complete a hand dig in a day. All materials were then delivered on time and the build went excellently. John is an excellent craftsman – I cannot believe that any company out there is doing a higher quality job – in fact I cannot think how they could do a better job. The site was left very tidy at all times during the build and all waste removed at the end. The final product is outstanding and finished to a very high standard, with air conditioning and internet connectivity fitted to support usage for my indoor cycling. I can also use as an office and my wife has already used the room for online violin teaching.
All in all superb in all regards. There are clearly companies out there doing cheaper installations but I am sure that these come nowhere near to this standard. The room is very well constructed and will no doubt last for many many years. Thank you very much John, Alison, Paul and Gavin plus the various additional contractors used throughout.
Steve and Janet
We would highly recommend Executive Garden Rooms to anyone who has considered building a garden office but doesn’t know where to begin.
EGR were highly professional from the initial consultation. Alison took time to fully understand our needs and responded to any questions quickly and efficiently, while John ensured the groundwork and construction were well organised with minimal disruption.
From start to finish the project ran like clockwork, and we were kept informed at all stages of the design and build process. There were no hidden costs and the turnkey approach meant that we didn’t have the pressure of trying to identify and coordinate multiple contractors for the different aspects of the project. John, Paul and Gavin worked tirelessly to ensure they adhered to the agreed schedule, and the quality and finish of the build are outstanding.
We can’t thank Alison, John and team enough for replacing our obsolete garage with a wonderful office space in under 2.5 weeks!
What a fantastic team. Completed on time and within budget. The process from start to finish was managed very professionally and the advice given throughout made our lives as customers easy. The finished product is superb and we are extremely happy. Highly recommended.
I looked into Garden Office’s and Garden Room’s long before the current COVID19 issues made this almost mandatory for myself. I had an unused area of the garden where I wanted to put my office but as it backed onto two fences all the standard packages of other companies did not suit (no point in having windows looking at a wall or fence).
After much searching I happened on Executive Garden Rooms who would design something bespoke with my needs in mind. I was very impressed with their level of detail especially when it came to insulation values and R values of materials. On comparing their quotes to others it was VERY clear that they were streets ahead when it came to designing buildings which would stay warm in the depths of winter with little energy (this has definitely proven true over the winter period where i was very comfortable regardless of the weather outside).
The design started in earnest and after a fair few tweaks by myself such as:
A skylight for additional light with a rain sensor.
I changed the layout of the doors and windows
I added networking and usb plugs where my desk would be
I planned in air conditioning and heating
Added outside lighting and additional lights on my existing fenceWhat eventually came to me was a fully rendered 3d set of diagrams (and a technical set of drawings) which showed me exactly what i was ordering. This really helped me visualise the building.
The build started in earnest with the quagmire that was my garden during the storm period this year “helping” with the mud issues.
Insulation, OSB, C24 framing all went up quickly and the two chaps who were here every day worked like trojans 8am to 6 pm (when the light faded).
Executive Garden rooms arranged for a portaloo on site so there was never a reason why the chaps needed to come into the main house at all. They brought their own tea and coffee as well (we appreciated that especially due to all the mud). The build quality is excellent and I would not fault them. The skylight transforms my office and I have fitted in perfect fit blinds to the windows and doors which work really well.
The area outside has now been landscaped and is no longer a mud swamp, with a kids play area constructed.
I am very happy and it has been essential with recent world events.
Excellent service from start to finish. Very impressed with the build and the work rate. Would highly recommend.
From the design and planning application – Alison was very knowledgeable and very patient and always available if I needed to discuss things with her.
On the construction side, John and his team were incredible, always on time or early and worked until last light. Very respectful and always happy to discuss any aspects of the build with me.
If you are thinking of constructing a garden office or additional dwelling, you will not be disappointed with Executive Garden Rooms.
We chose Executive Garden Rooms as our supplier because they had excellent communication and a high specification of building.
The work was completed on time and efficiently under the most appalling weather conditions. We are very pleased with the results.
Alison was most helpful and in contact throughout and John and Paul did a great job.
We would recommend Executive Garden Rooms to anyone looking to build a garden office.
From start to finish the team from Executive Garden Rooms were friendly, efficient, skilled and professional.
We are absolutely delighted with our garden room which is comfortable, warm and exactly as we wanted.
John and Gavin built the room in the most awful weather, working twelve hour days until they had completed the days’ schedule of work. Paul and Gavin returned later to complete the beautiful patio and path to finish off the project.
We cannot recommend this company highly enough and are happy to show anyone in our area (North Devon) who is thinking of using them, our completed room.
First class from start to finish, from the initial talks with Alison to the handing over from John.
I could not of asked for a better company to deal with.
I would echo the other comments that they are the best company I’ve ever dealt with.
Big thanks to all .
Jason
Excellent in all areas, from the initial contact through to the completed studio. The whole process was highly professional and well organised.
Working with Alison and John was a pleasure, therefore I highly recommend Executive Garden Rooms Ltd – they are brilliant!!!!
As a result, I am so delighted with my new garden studio.
Thank you Alison and John.
EGR have just completed my one bedroom, residential garden annexe and I am so pleased.The standard of work, attention to detail, communication and commitment to “getting the job done” were excellent throughout.From advising me on the building layout and submitting planning application, through to completion and handover – I cannot fault them.Excellent product and excellent service, as a result I would highly recommend Executive Garden Rooms.
EGR built a one bedroom annexe in our garden for my 84 year old father to live in.
It’s a perfect result, excellent communication with both Alison and John throughout the build.
A great bunch of lads working for John, all very friendly, polite and skilful, although “singing” is not their forte!!
The quality and standard of the work and finished product is second to none, we really can’t recommend EGR highly enough and Dad is over the moon with his new home.
Executive Garden Rooms built our annexe this summer and to say we are delighted with it would be an understatement. From the word go Alison was friendly and supportive, she always gave candid helpful advice. When it came to the point of build, John and the lads were polite, approachable and listened to what we wanted. We are really please with the finished article and with our decision to use this company, especially as they are local.
Fabulous company to deal with and a first class build quality. The whole project from start to finish ran seamlessly and we are absolutely delighted with the result. We didn’t just want any old garden building/lodge, we wanted something that would last the test of time, felt and sounded like you were stepping into an actual building and something that adds value to our property – this we have achieved, thanks to John and Alison. Cannot recommend EGR enough. You won’t be disappointed.
From first enquiry to completion of the project, every query, question and concern was answered promptly and effectively. Not that I can remember there being many concerns.
We had a tricky space to fill. A cluttered corner of the garden with trees and shrubs, overgrowing a long neglected treehouse and kids climbing frame. EGR cleared the ground taking out stumps and roots, even finding a new home for the treehouse via Gumtree.
There was much debate regarding the final size and shape of the construction but Alison patiently walked us through the process, providing a myriad of floor plans until we found the final bespoke option. Then securing planning permission.
Construction itself was a joy to watch. Ben and his team appeared without fail on time each morning and worked late into the day to complete work well within schedule.
The end result is an office that is cosy, comfortable and joy to work in.
In conclusion the reasons we we so happy with EGR and their service was as follows.
1. It was a bespoke service, other garden room companies we talked to offered ‘prefab’ products that wouldn’t have worked in the space.
2. EGR construct from a concrete base meaning that ‘wildlife’ can’t nest or burrow under the structure.
3. There was no hard or ‘up’ sell. EGR listened to what we wanted, offered advice and guidance and found the best possible solution at the best possible price.Very highly recommended.
P.S. We have recently added a new addition to the family – a Golden Retriever puppy – who ‘works’ with me in the office and he seems very content with standard of work as well.
After meeting Alison and John at the Dorchester show we were impressed with quality of the rooms and their professionalism, the rooms were very competitively priced for the quality of the build.
Our garden room was built in July during the wettest three weeks on record in Dorset!! Despite this Ben worked through the most appalling weather so the building was finished on time and all the sub contractors were here on their scheduled days, except the roofer who came on a Sunday morning as it was the only dry day of the week! – this was exceptional service and meant the room could begin to dry out for the internal works.
We had a bit of an issue with the door and window quality but Ben and Alison did not hesitate to sort this out very quickly for us. Overall we are mightily impressed with the room and it will make our business so much more organised. My quality of life and well-being will also hugely improve as I have moved from a cramped bedroom with only a roof window to a lovely view of the garden and so much additional space! Thank you!
I can’t speak more highly of the work done by John and his team. I knew I was in good hands right from his first visit, when we discussed my ideas at length and he gave me plenty of expert advice before I made my decision. I was impressed by the fact that they only do one job at a time and John is permanently on site to project-manage.
We live in a typical London terraced house so the only access to the garden is through our somewhat cramped flat, and it could have been an utter nightmare, particularly during the foundations-laying phase, plus of course I didn’t want to upset the people living in the upstairs flats by making a mess of the common hallway. No problem on that score, thanks to the extreme care they took to cover carpets and clean up after every day’s work.
The whole job went incredibly smoothly, all the different trades-people were magnificent, they worked amazingly hard and always with a smile so it was a real pleasure to have them around the house and garden, indeed I felt quite tearful when it came to say goodbye, not the usual feeling when you’ve “had the builders in”, this is mainly due to John’s amazing people management skills, a lot of CEOs of much bigger outfits could learn a lot from his utterly unflappable approach.
I was consulted on every last detail of the job and all the admin, including the planning permission, was organised by the super-efficient and very friendly Alison who runs the office.
The end result is a deluxe, energy-efficient office space for me and a really good–looking addition to our home that blends in beautifully with its surroundings and has done nothing to detract from the appeal of our lovely garden in which you can easily forget you are only minutes away from the heart of London.
I would recommend John and Alison and their team unreservedly to anyone wanting a superb new room, designed and built to the highest standards, and not involving any stress.
I wish that all work done on our property was as easy as our garden room. Alison, in the office, was hugely helpful and dealt with all of our queries and requests in a friendly and efficient manner.
John has an incredible work ethic, which makes having him and his team onsite a real pleasure. Not only were they quick and efficient, but also tidied up after themselves (very important with three small children wanting to explore the building site). John was also very good with the neighbours, and took time to chat with them and put them at ease.
We chose EGR® as our preferred supplier as we wanted to have a solid base to prevent animals nesting underneath, all in all a very successful project, and I would have them back anytime…
After doing lots of research on the web, we invited 3 companies to come and have a chat and give us a price. It was quite obvious from our first meeting with John that his professionalism and passion for his product shone through. The key factor for us was that EGR® offered a turn key service which was just what we were looking for, we didn’t want the stress of having to tie up with different trades to get the project finished.
From our very first meeting with John, we knew that EGR® were the company we wanted to build our garden room. The room was to be used as a holistic training studio so needed to be finished to a high spec and be a safe, inviting environment for students to learn in.
From day one we knew we had made the right choice, John and his team were on time and worked tirelessly through the rain without any complaints! John was on site everyday and with the help of his tradesmen the structure soon took shape.
If there were any problems we never knew about them. John was true to his word and organised all the trades and didn’t bother us with any of this. Great!
The project was finished on time without any hiccups. While John is on site, Alison is at the end of the phone or email answering any queries and giving valuable advice if needed.
We now have an amazing holistic training studio which is a wonderful environment for our students and tutors to work in.
If you are thinking of adding a garden room for personal or professional use then please consider Executive Garden Rooms, you will not be disappointed. Thank you John and Alison.
We chose EGR® because they have an excellent, informative website which showed me that they were likely to meet all my criteria. I was looking for outstanding insulation values, provision of a concrete base, full building regulations construction, velux rooflights and on-site management. The ability to deal with planning was an added bonus.
From beginning to end the whole project ran like clockwork, keeping to a planned daily work schedule, come rain or wind.
After just a day or two I relaxed in the knowledge that we were in very hardworking, capable hands. John masterminds the whole operation and has a highly skilled team. The work has been completed to a very high standard.
We live in a small courtyard development, accessed through an archway into a shared space. John took the trouble to liaise with neighbours and to ensure that deliveries did not inconvenience them. Alison is an amazing administrator and was so helpful even down to choosing every last detail. They both have a wonderful ’can do’ attitude. I cannot praise or thank them enough. I am delighted with my painting studio.
I would recommend Executive Garden Rooms to our friends & family without a doubt.
The garden room has truly made a huge difference to our lives. From being the office that we needed for Helen, as well as a place for our Gym equipment, to our own little private cinema. Saturday Night is Movie Night! We can’t thank you both enough for building a life changing addition to our garden.
Many thanks
Having narrowed down to three suppliers, I chose Executive Garden Rooms based on their very relaxed, knowledgable and efficient service. They were competitive on cost, and understood the exact brief that I required.
Executive Garden Rooms were superb from start to finish. I initially chose them due to their extremely knowledgeable, professional, and no pressure consultation. They clearly understood my brief, and were able to answer any questions I had regarding the construction of the home office quickly and effectively. This continued throughout the design process, and everything was agreed down to the last detail.
On site, they were excellent. Everything was completed on time, and to a very high quality. At no point did I feel that I needed to be there, and any slight modifications were undertaken without hesitation. All the professional tradesmen were exceptionally polite, and worked exactly to specification. A fantastic addition to my property.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them in the future.
We chose Executive Garden Rooms because they were the only company who we felt really wanted our business. Other companies couldn’t even guarantee they would open their show rooms at the weekend for us to meet with them, whereas a director from Executive Garden Rooms came to meet us and discuss our exact requirements.
Throughout the initial selection process and prior to any commitment, the team at Executive Garden rooms helped us with the design of our building and gave us detailed options at every stage ensuring we knew exactly what we were spending and where we could prevent unecessary expenditure – meaning we got exactly what we wanted within our budget.
We were also keen on Executive Garden Rooms’ turnkey approach. From knocking down the existing garage to applying the last coats of paint, everything was managed by Executive Garden Rooms, which meant there were no hidden costs and no tricky scheduling of different tradesmen to organise.
We felt EGR® offered the best value for what we wanted and from the very start seemed to be the most professional and reliable of the companies we contacted.
We could not recommend Executive Garden Rooms highly enough. Their professional, friendly and helpful approach from our very first contact right through to receiving the keys to our new building was exemplary and their complete ‘turnkey’ service provides exceptional value with none of the hidden costs we kept finding elsewhere.
We were so impressed with our initial meeting with John who gave us total confidence that our new room could be designed to our specific requirements First impressions are so important. We wanted a building which is a bespoke design with solid foundations, that included site clearance. The turn key service that John and Alison were able to provide for us was very important.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Executive Garden Rooms to our family and friends. John and his team worked incredibly hard in all weathers and it was a pleasure to have them on site.
Executive Garden Rooms have given us a beautiful room that we enjoyed from the day we were handed the keys. Everything was completed on time and to the agreed budget.
Alison was able design the windows so that we have an uninterrupted view, through the room into the garden from our house. Incorporating the existing electric supply from our greenhouse into the garden room on a separate fuse, was no problem for John and his team. John and Alison kept us informed at every stage of the build, which made such a difference
If you are thinking of a garden room, then do consider Executive Garden Rooms. They have lived up to and exceeded all our expectations.
I have been a beauty therapist for over 16 years and I finally made the decision to work from home but I didn’t want to work in my house, so I started to search the internet for companies that could build me a studio in my garden. I looked at dozens of websites but kept going back to Executive Garden Rooms as their website is so informative and easy to understand.
I knew I would still be working while the build took place, so I wanted a company that I could trust and that supplied all the different trades to carry out the job from start to finish. From my 1st phone call with Alison (admin) and my 1st meeting with John (builder), I knew they understood what I needed and I felt confident that they could build me what I wanted, to the high standards that I needed for my business.
What I have is an amazing, modern, insulated studio with 2 treatment rooms, a toilet and air conditioning and because the studio is completely bespoke, it sits perfectly at the end of my garden. I get endless comments on the brilliant quality of the studio and how wonderful it is!
I am so pleased I took the big step of working from home and I would highly recommend this wonderful family run company to build you what you want/need, from start to finish.
When a new client comes in, they always say how warm and comfortable it is in the studio. Best thing i ever did – thank you 🙂
Right from our initial contact via e-mail we were impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of EGR. This was reinforced during the initial site visit and subsequent negotiations.
For family reasons we needed accommodation in close proximity to an existing property. An annexe was considered to be the ideal solution, so we set about designing a floorplan that was adapted from previous house builds that we had undertaken in France.
We contacted 3 providers of Garden Annexe buildings and held consultation with them on site and by e-mail. We were then able to review initial designs and quotes in order to ascertain the most suitable solution.
Having decided to work with EGR, we held regular discussions with Alison in order to further refine our project. For each aspect of the interior (kitchen, bathroom, flooring, etc.) we were advised the budget allowed for in the quote and given free choice as to the products used. Anything above or below the budget was adjusted in a list of Contract Variations.
Alison handled all contact with the local planning office and a date was set for the project to commence. From day 1 through to completion, John was on site every day and worked tirelessly to keep the project on track and complete on time.
Each weekend we received a plan detailing the works scheduled for the forthcoming week. Any variations decided during construction were accommodated where possible.
Regular liaison between EGR and Building Control ensured that the project met building regulations and approvals.
A thorough clean was carried out prior to handover as well as an explanation of how certain features worked (heating, etc.).
At the conclusion of the project, all we had to do was add furniture. A real turnkey solution.
The result exceeded our expectations. The build and quality of finish is excellent. It is a really pleasant environment in which to live.
From beginning to end (and beyond) Alison and John have listened, communicated and delivered. Without hesitation we would recommend their services to anyone that might be considering an annexe.
Having only recently moved into our new home in Devon, we were clear that the most urgent change was to create a working space (office/study) for both my wife and I to pursue our careers based from home.
EGR worked like clockwork to complete the full construction from ground works to handing over the keys in 3 weeks. The end product, including the views, gives us the ideal and versatile space, with all the services installed in a high quality, well insulated, secure building.
We are delighted with the outcome and the office was immediately furnished and is in continuous use. Not only has it provided us with the ideal office environment for us both to work in, but it has released the pressure on the house.”
I cannot thank Alison and John enough for the amazing quality of their work. On the administrative side, Alison was always on top of everything, even putting up with my ridiculous work schedule and hours, which had me away from home for several months leading up to (and during!) the build, and which could have made communication difficult. No time was too inconvenient and I could always rely on her to get back to me swiftly on those rare occasions I wasn’t able to get through first time.
On the construction side John was amazing. He would arrive bang on time every day and get to work with zero fuss. The hours he was putting in were quite incredible, especially as he hardly ever appeared to take a break. I can’t believe how quickly everything went up, and the quality of the finish is impeccable. He took my last minute additions and changes on board and even came back to check on the building a couple of weeks after the finishing date, just to help sort the last couple of niggles.
All in all our experience was just perfect, I can’t recommend EGR highly enough, they are that winning combination of friendly, approachable and utterly professional. Thank you for giving us the most amazing room, we are hugely grateful.
We selected Executive Garden Rooms as our supplier because :-
The rooms looked great, solid, well insulated and modern looking buildings not a log cabin.
We could specify dimensions and fittings.
The speed with which the product could be delivered.
It was a turnkey solution.
“We are really pleased with our new garden room. The whole process from start to finish only took 3 1/2 weeks which was amazing considering we had services put in for a kitchen, shower and a toilet.
If there was an Olympic category for building, John would be a gold medal winner! The work was of a high standard and any concerns we had even down to a plug socket being millimetres out (we are a bit sad that way) were corrected.
EGR handled the planning application (we wanted permission for sleeping overnight) and it couldn’t have been easier.
The room is solid, well built and really warm (warmer than our house!) and very quiet because of the effectiveness of the insulation.
We love our new room, if you’ve got space do it, you won’t regret it.”
After a lengthy search online and visits to several suppliers I considered that the design and specification of EGR were superior.
Thank you John and Alison. We are delighted with our new garden room and the experience of seeing it being built. A great design with good materials, exceptional workmanship and exceptional value.
As a retired construction industry executive, I am not easily impressed but this was very impressive.
If anyone wants to know what good looks like in a construction project then watch John build a garden room. No fuss, no waste, no delays, first class workmanship and right first time. I doubt that there is a better building or builder in the UK market.
My father who the room was for, my husband and I felt that Alison and John came across as being the most professional of the three companies we approached. They also really listened to what we wanted and were honest about what could be delivered in the budget we had.
My husband and I wanted to provide an extra room at the end of our garden for my father. From the beginning Alison and John were honest, reliable and completely professional in their approach to this project. The build went ahead smoothly and we were so impressed with how hard John and Paul worked each day. They also kept the site so tidy and returned it to such a good state after the build. My father is just so happy with his accommodation and remarks almost daily how warm it is and how it was built to such a high standard. We would absolutely recommend EGR to anyone who wants some extra space.
After researching several companies and talking to EGR by phone we decided that they fitted our requirements best, particularly in terms of incorporating an acoustic build.
The work was completed on time, on budget and completely to our specification. The studio is superb and John and the team couldn’t have been more helpful while doing the work. Alison was a great help in the office and always responded to emails exceptionally quickly (even once while I was in IKEA buying shelves for the studio!) and gave excellent advice.
I certainly would and already have recommended Executive Garden Rooms to my friends & family.
I had been researching companies to install a garden room and was ready to commit to another when a friend mentioned Executive Garden Rooms. I went to see her room and was very impressed on how professional it looked.
I liked the idea of a concrete base rather than having a void under the building and also the fact it was plastered internally. They were able to offer a more bespoke service of design to suit my needs. I am so glad I went with EGR.
They have been professional the whole way through the process, from the planning and then the build. John was on site punctually every day and Allison would send me the week’s schedule every Sunday. They finished on time and left the site clean and tidy and the room looks magnificent.
They were also on hand to advise me through a situation which arose due to a disgruntled neighbour. At this point I was so happy to be with a professional company who I could trust had built everything to plan and knew how to handle the situation calmly.
Thanks John and Alison!
We had a single garage in need of demolition. We wanted to replace it with a multi-use space that would serve as a home office, a sewing room, a play room, a guest room and (according to our daughter) a disco/science lab.
It needed to be usable all year round. It also needed a shower room, sight lines over the whole garden and it needed to look good, as it’s a focal point from the living room. It was a long list of requirements for a small space butExecutive Garden Rooms have met the challenge brilliantly and we could not be more pleased.
John completed a thorough site visit and talked us through the options available to us, sketching out some initial ideas. Alison paid close attention to what we wanted and refined the initial plans to make sure every aspect was right for us. She also answered our many questions promptly and made sure we had detailed information about the costs of different options, so that we could make informed decisions.
During the build, John kept the project on track through miserable weather conditions, parking/access problems and even when his van failed and had to be replaced mid-project. Everything was organised very efficiently. John and the team worked incredibly hard, made sure each detail was right and were careful to minimise the disruption for us and for our neighbours.
The project finished on schedule in three weeks and we are delighted with the results.
We would recommend EGR’s, without the slightest hesitation.
We selected EGR as our preferred supplier because they are a family run business; they had the ability to deal with all spects of the build; the rooms high specification of insulation; built on concrete foundations and compliance with building regulations.
From my first contact (via e-mail) with EGR through to the handover they were superb. After researching EGR – I had very high hopes of a stress-free and high quality build and those hopes were exceeded. I highly recommend EGR to our friends and family.
We found EGR via a google search after we compared several garden builders in London. None of them gave us as prompt response as EGR; besides EGR explained very clearly about how a room is built and has many cases of other clients as proof. After a study we felt very confident in choosing EGR to build our garden room.
EGR has been professional the whole way through the process from planning to building. Alison provided me with a bespoke service of design to suit my needs and helped me with planning permission. John was on site punctually and used his master skills to install the room. I can’t believe how quickly it was built, the quality of the finish is the highest standard.
We are so happy to find a professional company who I could always trust. Thank you so much John and Alison, you have made my dream come true!
I would definitely recommend EGR to my friends, who cannot wait to see my garden room.
It’s hard to find the right company for a major (expensive) project if you don’t have a personal recommendation.
We knew we wanted to build an annexe for our son at the bottom of the garden but didn’t know anyone who had done something similar.
We googled some companies and called to make appointments for more detailed quotes.
The market leader took a couple of weeks to come out to us and although the sales person was pleasant she didn’t really capture what we wanted and I think it was more of a “stock” drawing. The quote took a month to arrive and no one ever called to follow it up.The other company we looked at was Executive Garden Rooms. We liked the fact that they were a family business and the photos, reviews and videos on their website were really good. We called and spoke to Alison, who answered all our initial questions and booked us an appointment to see John.
We received a visit soon after and felt John really listened to what we needed and came up with a good design. He also outlined the whole process and timescale so we knew what to expect. The detailed quote (with a scale plan) came soon after and Alison kept in touch to see how we felt about the quote etc.
We had the opportunity to tweak it and even had the opportunity to choose our own fixtures and fittings, flooring, tiles etc.
We just felt confident that EGR were the right company for us and have been proved right.
John was on site every day and really worked hard from day one. It gave us a lot of confidence knowing he was there and in charge of everything that was going on.
The whole team are professional, friendly and really put you at ease through each stage of the project, right from doing the planning application onwards. No question is too small or too silly! The payment plan is fair and even allows for snagging to be sorted before you pay the final amount.
The weekly project plan helped us feel part of it and we could plan our week around it.
We are so pleased with the final result and our son, who has been living it for 3 months now, has everything he needs and is very happy there.
I cannot speak more highly of Alison, John and the team they brought in. We are happy to recommend both them and the quality of their workmanship.Thank you so much!
From the start both Alison and John gave a slick and highly professional service.
They paid attention to detail both before and during the build, always taking notice of our particular wishes. From the office Alison was quick to respond to emails, to offer advice and keep us informed. We were away for the first week so she sent photos every day to keep us involved.
On site John worked so hard, always turned up on time, before 8am and worked until and beyond darkness, by lamp light if necessary! He never seemed to stop even when it rained. Mugs of tea were drunk “on the run” whilst working. His specialist colleagues, roofer, electrician, plasterer were clearly skilled. He was never phased by unexpected issues, no fuss, always cheerful and a pleasure to have with us for nearly 3 weeks.
The Cedral weatherboard cladding blends in with the rest of the garden and contrary to cedar cladding, Cedral is maintenance free. The high level of insulation, solid foundations and attention to detail in the finish makes for a smart and comfortable additional work and relaxing space. High quality product and workmanship.
We thank John and Alison for their advice, their friendly and professional approach and their skill in giving us a fantastic extra “space”.
We would recommend Executive Garden Rooms to our friends and family, from initial impression and throughout planning and building process leads us to say – How could you not recommend Executive Garden Rooms? This small family run company is impressive.
We’re very happy we chose EGR to build our garden room. They made the whole process as easy as possible for us and were professional and reliable throughout, as well as being nice people to work with.
Alison handled everything leading up to the build, listening carefully to what we wanted and giving us helpful advice about how to make the most of our budget.
The build itself was quite challenging – a small garden, difficult access and bad weather – but John and his team worked incredibly hard and managed to finish the work on time and to a very high standard.
We got exactly what we wanted and are happy with both the quality of the build and the value for money.
Would definitely recommend EGR.
We chose EGR because they offer a full-service from beginning to end and they clearly care about the quality of their garden rooms. We were not disappointed.
The design process went smoothly as they were extremely responsive and helpful. We had a general idea of what we wanted but were unclear on the details, so we found the EGR photo gallery (on their website) and their expertise and advice very helpful.
The project started on time and progressed amazingly quickly, despite miserable weather. The workers were polite and efficient and always cleaned up after themselves each day. The project finished on time and within budget.
After four weeks, we were handed the keys to a beautiful, fully-functional garden room – all we had to do was move in and start using it! The whole process was pleasant from start to finish and we are extremely pleased with our new space.
We would definitely recommend EGR to friends and family.
We wanted a quality product and a highly professional service and feedback on the website suggested that this was exactly what Executive Garden Rooms was offering.
Alison dealt with my initial inquiry in a very efficient and friendly manner and quickly set a plan of action in place. When John and his team arrived on site they worked very long hours every day and were always extremely friendly and polite.
Alison and John helped to make this project as stress free as possible and now the garden room is complete I cannot praise them highly enough. John is one in a million and you are both running an outstanding company. The world would be far better place if businesses were all run to your exacting standards. 100% customer satisfaction.
We chose Executive Garden Rooms as our supplier because they had excellent communication and a high specification of building.
The work was completed on time and efficiently under the most appalling weather conditions. We are very pleased with the results.
Alison was most helpful and in contact throughout and John and Paul did a great job.
We would recommend Executive Garden Rooms to anyone looking to build a garden office.
