A practical Old Windsor guide to your next garden room

Garden Rooms in Old Windsor is most of what we do. Old Windsor is a Thames-edge village with period cottages around the green, 1930s detached homes on Crimp Hill and newer cluster developments towards Datchet. Flood-zone designation along the Thames demands SUDS-compliant permeable specs on any front-garden conversion. For a garden room on a Old Windsor plot we usually plan around high water table plots where screw-pile foundations beat traditional concrete slabs, so the spec we quote is shaped by what actually goes wrong on this side of Berkshire.

The local brief behind the build

  • Old Windsor 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 SL4 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a garden room - the south-facing positions where overhang and external shading become important 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.
