Planning a garden room around Ash?
Garden Rooms in Ash is most of what we do. Ash sits between Ash Vale and Tongham with Victorian terraces near Ash station, 1950s-80s semis around the high street and a smaller pocket of newer build on Ash Hill Rd. Greensand and clay pockets demand sub-base depths that vary street to street. For a garden room on a Ash plot we usually plan around rear gardens with restricted side access where modular timber frame works best, so the spec we quote is shaped by what actually goes wrong on this side of Surrey.

Page purpose
For homeowner briefs where garden offices on long rear plots is the priority, a generic regional specification would miss the local plot conditions.

Read the plot before choosing the finish
- Ash is inside our 30-mile core area, so site visits are arranged within a week and project supervision is daily, not weekly.
- We've spent enough time on GU12 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a garden room - the Article 4 / conservation rules that affect permitted development on a small number of streets that gets missed when a national firm quotes from a desk.
- Quotes are written, fixed and broken down by stage, with the same crew on site from day one through to clean-down.
