Sunninghill Garden Rooms: a local specification for SL5 properties
Garden Rooms in Sunninghill is most of what we do. Sunninghill is a village strip along the A329 with Victorian terraces around the high street, 1930s detached homes on the upper roads and a smaller cluster of newer build. Pine-belt sand and the elevated position mean drainage falls matter as much as sub-base depth. For a garden room on a Sunninghill plot we usually plan around Article 4 / conservation rules that affect permitted development on a small number of streets, so the spec we quote is shaped by what actually goes wrong on this side of Berkshire.

What changes the specification here
- Sunninghill 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 SL5 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.
