Tadley Garden Rooms: a local specification for RG26 properties
Garden Rooms in Tadley is most of what we do. Tadley is dominated by 1960s-80s estates built around the AWE workforce, with smaller pockets of newer build and original village cottages around Pamber Heath. Gravel ground drains well but shallow developer drives have aged out across most of the town. For a garden room on a Tadley 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 Hampshire.

What changes the specification here
- Tadley 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 RG26 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.
