Shere Garden Rooms: a local specification for GU5 properties

Garden Rooms in Shere is most of what we do. Shere is a postcard-pretty conservation village along the Tillingbourne with timber-frame cottages, a Norman church and one of Surrey's tightest historic overlays. Anything visible from the street usually needs sympathetic materials and a conversation with Guildford Borough's conservation team. For a garden room on a Shere 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.

A therapist room with a private entrance and a small WC plumbed in, relevant garden rooms detail for GU5 properties near Gomshall

What changes the specification here

Shere 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 GU5 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a garden room - the rear gardens with restricted side access where modular timber frame works best 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.
