Working from home has never been more popular, and creating a dedicated garden office is one of the best ways to separate business from home life. At MMGS Gardens Services, we specialise in designing and building bespoke garden rooms that are tailored to your needs – but before you start planning, let’s answer the two questions everyone asks: How much does it cost? and Do I need planning permission?

How Much Does a MMGS Garden Office Cost?

The price of a garden office depends on size, design, and chosen finishes. To give you an idea:

Compact offices: from £5,000–£8,000 – perfect for a desk and chair, fully insulated for year-round use.
Mid-range offices: £10,000–£18,000 – offering more space, electrics, lighting, stylish cladding, and comfort.
Premium bespoke builds: £20,000–£40,000+ – designed to your specifications with large glazing, heating, plumbing, composite or timber finishes, and luxury interiors.

At MMGS Gardens Services, we only use high-quality materials such as FSC-certified Scandinavian redwood, Celotex insulation, and EPDM roofing – ensuring your investment is built to last.

Do You Need Planning Permission?

In most cases, a garden office can be built under permitted development rights without planning permission, as long as it meets the following conditions:

Maximum height of 2.5m at the eaves (if close to a boundary).
Must not take up more than 50% of the available garden space.
Cannot be used as a permanent dwelling.
Additional rules apply in conservation areas or listed properties.

We always advise checking with your local planning authority if you’re unsure – and we’re happy to guide you through the process.
