West End Garden Rooms: a local specification for GU24 properties
Garden Rooms in West End is most of what we do. West End is a small village of brick cottages around the green and 1970s-80s detached estates off Benner Lane. The heath ground is mostly sand and gravel - free-draining but easy to deform under loads, so we excavate deeper than the regional average. For a garden room on a West End 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.

What changes the specification here
- West End 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 GU24 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.
