A practical Tongham guide to your next garden room

Garden Rooms in Tongham is most of what we do. Tongham is a compact village wedged between the A331 and the A31 with period cottages around the village green and 1960s-80s detached estates on the back lanes. Greensand and clay pockets demand different sub-base specs within a single street. For a garden room on a Tongham 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 Surrey.

A full-time home office for a commuter dropping two train days a week, relevant garden rooms detail for GU10 properties near Wrecclesham

The local brief behind the build

Tongham 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 GU10 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.
