Garden Rooms field guide · Surrey

A practical Send guide to your next garden room

Garden Rooms in Send is most of what we do. Send is a strung-out village along the Wey canal with period cottages, 1960s-80s detached estates and a smaller cluster of newer-build around Cartbridge. The clay-and-canal-fill ground near the water is unstable enough that we engineer drives and patios with proper sub-base depths. For a garden room on a Send 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.

The local brief behind the build

  • Send 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 GU23 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.
