Lightwater Garden Rooms: a local specification for GU18 properties

Garden Rooms in Lightwater is most of what we do. Lightwater is dominated by 1960s-90s detached estates around the Country Park, with newer cul-de-sac infill off The Avenue. Plots tend to be wide with side access, which suits drive widening and modular garden rooms barrowed in rather than craned. For a garden room on a Lightwater plot we usually plan around south-facing positions where overhang and external shading become important, so the spec we quote is shaped by what actually goes wrong on this side of Surrey.

What changes the specification here

Lightwater 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 GU18 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a garden room - the high water table plots where screw-pile foundations beat traditional concrete slabs 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.
