The service
What Garden Rooms & Sheds
Involves
A garden room is a self-contained building in your garden that you can use as an office, gym, studio or quiet retreat. A shed is a practical store for bikes, tools and garden equipment. Both free up space inside the house and make your garden work harder for you.
Paul has been building garden rooms and working in gardens since he was 12 or 13 years old. He knows that the base, the frame and the weather-proofing are what separate a building you use all year from one that turns damp and draughty after a couple of winters.
Every building starts with a level, stable base sized to the structure, then a properly framed build that keeps water out. The result is a space you can rely on, not a flat-pack that needs propping up.
Why it matters
What Happens
If It's Left or Done Badly
Damp and rot
Buildings on poor bases sit in water. Timber rots from the bottom up and contents become damp and mouldy.
Leaks
Badly fitted roofs and joints let rain in, ruining stored items and making the space unusable.
Movement and doors that stick
A base that isn't level lets the building twist, so doors and windows jam and gaps open up.
Space that goes unused
A cold, leaky garden room becomes another storage dump rather than the useful space you paid for.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Putting a building directly on soil or uneven slabs
- Choosing a size without checking planning rules and boundaries
- Forgetting about access for power and lighting
- Using roofing that isn't designed to last

Hand-over and guarantee

What your quote includes
Your written quote for garden rooms & sheds lists the preparation, materials, labour and clear-up involved, so you can compare it properly and know exactly what you're paying for. If Paul spots anything during the site visit that could affect the job, such as drainage, access or hidden damage, he'll tell you before you commit, not halfway through the work.
Our guarantee, explained
Every installation comes with a minimum 10-year guarantee on workmanship. If something Paul installed fails because of how it was done, he'll come back and put it right. Combined with £1m public liability insurance, it means you're protected while the work is being done and for years afterwards.

In detail
Garden Rooms & Sheds:
Options & Methods
Garden offices and studios
For a room you'll use every day, comfort matters: a sound base, good weather-proofing, sensible window placement for natural light, and thought given to power and lighting access. Paul will talk through how you plan to use the room so the build suits it.
Sheds and storage
A good shed keeps tools, bikes and garden equipment dry and secure. Size, door width and position all make a difference to how easy it is to use day to day.
Bases that last
Concrete, paved and timber-frame bases each suit different buildings and ground conditions. The base must be level and slightly larger than the footprint so water runs away from the walls.
Planning considerations
Many garden buildings fall within permitted development, but height, position and use all matter. It is worth checking your situation with your local council before work starts; Paul can talk through the common considerations at the site visit.
Choosing the right position
Sunlight, privacy, distance from boundaries and how you'll walk to the building all matter. A short path or stepping stones from the house makes a garden room far more usable in winter.
Making it comfortable all year
For rooms used daily, think about insulation, ventilation and light from the start. It's far easier to build these in than to add them later.
What affects the cost of garden rooms & sheds?
Every job is priced individually after a free site visit. The main factors are:
- Size and footprint of the building
- Base type and groundwork needed
- Roofing, cladding and window specification
- Access to the garden for materials
- Internal finishing
- Clearing the site beforehand
Your written quote sets out exactly what's included, so there are no surprises once work begins. A deposit secures your start date, and the balance can be paid by bank transfer or card.

Why Homeowners Choose Paul
for Garden Rooms & Sheds
When you book garden rooms & sheds with LP Home and Landscapes, you're not handed from a salesperson to a subcontractor you've never met. Paul Eastwood visits, measures and quotes himself, then runs the job from the first day to the final walk-through. Where a specific task needs a specialist, he brings in people he trusts and stays responsible for the result.
Paul has around 25 years of hands-on experience. He started working weekends with his dad at 12, and over the years built up skills across landscaping, building and roofing because he was tired of seeing so-called installers let customers down. The layout, installation and finish are done the way he would want them at his own home.
He's building the business so his children can one day take it on, which means every job has to be one he's proud to put the family name to. That's why every installation is backed by a minimum 10-year guarantee and £1m public liability insurance.
