A client asked me to build them a bespoke garden room with aluminium bifold doors. They wanted to fill a specific space around 6m by 4.5m on the left hand side of their garden where an old garage used to be.
They were absolutely thrilled with the result, particularly that we started work immediately without the need for any planning permission and we use all of the materials you would find in a normal extension (bricks aside!) without any of the mess or inconvenience of one!
This went so well we have since been asked to build 3 more and have set up a separate business-

For those waiting for the grand total it was about £23,000
Cheers mate, found it quite annoying he listed the prices but not the total, not everyone has a calculator when they're watching mindless things on RUclips in the toilet!
And at the end he threw in a 3 seater sofa, a mini bar and a tablet on the wall 🤷♂️ i just can’t get it
That's one expensive shed!
23k 3years ago. Let’s just say we add on 30% for materials in 2023 and call it £30,000!
@@AJ-ku7nm 30k.. thats what i was expecting for a 27sqr mtr brick build. but getting quotes over 50k!! some builders are absolute jokers charging so much. My material costs i've costed to 15k- then double for labour so I would expect £30k as well.
This book is Awesome! I love the Lean-To-Shed the most (page 98). The plan ruclips.net/user/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR is to attach it to the back of my brick house. I also like how they walk you through the many different steps of construction, which is important for the less experienced like me.
Definitely!
Well, thanks a lot.... now my wife thinks I should be able to build a shed in under 9 minutes....
Lol🤣
😂😂
😂🤣😂
She should look for a new husband if you can’t 🤣
A moment of silence 😔
800 for paint job lol if you ever need it painted again give us a bell 🙃
That’s just what I was thinking
Me too 🤯
I thought the same, I'll do it for 250 lol
Why was it cheaper to plaster than paint? Unless they used some mega expensive paint
@@wilf7042 even farrow and ball doesn't cost that much:) .
Da Vinci must have painted the ceiling looking at what you paid.
Hahahaha brilliant
This just reinvigorated my dreams of one day having a guest house at the end of my garden ... something exactly like this but with a little kitchenette and toilet on the ground floor and a little loft with a bed. Need to be able to afford a house with a garden first though lol.
Same but instead of a loft full size basement
The dream!
Enjoyed watching those big mammoths of clouds moving during your construction
The most unbelievable part of this is that for 6 weeks in the uk it wasn’t pissing rain!
No chance this year😅🙈
Wow nice design and build! I hope mine turns out close to this good. I've been working on it for 10 days now. I'm way behind for a 9 minute project.
Solid. British. Workmanship.
Probably. 👍👍
Was I the only one mesmerised by the clouds in time lapse 😂
A couch, a big screen TV, a decking area with armchairs and a bar.
I take it you had a slight change of heart after telling the missus you were building an office...😂😂
Great video, I'm looking at getting something similar but smaller made, this has helped, sweet finish 👌
Really nice finish btw
Yes bro! LOVE it! We're on similar journeys dude, I've literally just rewired my house and I'm currently fitting the new kitchen!
Such a great experience and so so glad I documented the project!🙏👌
Enjoyed watching that! Looks great, good work!
Job well done Nick !!
This is brilliant! Wow
Ganito ung kulay ng gusto ko, kahoy w/varnish sa labas pero light gray paint sa loob w/white baseboard
Thanks for this! Superb vid
Beautiful very nice video thanks So much
МОЛОДЦЫ!!!!
КРУТО!!!!!
Epic. Inspiring !!!! Great !!!
Top quality build, that. I can usually point out a fault, or two -but this..none! Top marks
waaaooww amazin, living big on the tiny house, good job bro
Amazing.
Excellent!
Should have just bought next doors house with how much you’ve spent on that 😂
I priced up something similar and building it all myself it came to less than £6K.
@@BlackOrchardbooks not with todays wood prices
Looks like a proper job. I hope those prices are materials & labour resulting in a total cost
Serious seshs going down in there right now.
Hi Nick really enjoyed the video and well done on a building a fantastic garden room. Just a quick question what was the roof span and what size of roof joists did you use?
Very impressive
CraveThatCoin Thank you
Looks fantastic. Now I'll need to watch a video "How to extend your garden in 7 minutes", as my garden is too small for an office/man cave/shed. :-(
So does he, that things right cuts his garden in half
beaautiful!
Hi. I'm building a similar size. Just wondering what size ope did you have for the bi fold doors and what size lintel? Is it a timber you use support over the door head? Grwat job BTW. Looks great. Thanks. Damien.
Nice job !!!
definitely a project i want to do
Literally just rewired my house dude.. I'd love to be able to do it full time🙏🙏🙏
Great job, looks fantastic! Out of interest what width cedar did you use and type of groove? Well done :)
Your office looks suspciously like a bar...
Awesome video Nick really inspiring. Can I ask where did you source all the parts from can you get a flat pack?
Looks mint 👌
Very nice build & extension to the house :-)
Thanks Joost
Great build nick. 👍 couple of questions for you. What size timber did you use over the main door ? Also with regards the cedar cladding, should it not be have double battens to allow air to flow?
Didn’t look like much did it. It looked like a laminated 90x45
9 mins you guys work fast!
Looks great. Were those material costs only you listed or including labour for the construction? I’m a professional decorator and you were royally ripped off at £800. I would have done it for less than half that including paint, and would have also done it properly.
Nice work bud
great job I'm well impressed, may I ask where you got your cedar cladding from?
Hi! Very nice! Did you put any varnish on cedar wood outside?very nice colour! If yes coud you give brand of varnish thanks.
First of all , nicely done . Looks smart and good choice on gear . Secondly , very honest and thanks for sharing materials list and prices . Thirdly and the only thing would say as a minor negative , is if I would of rang any one of my suppliers with that materials list ( apart from bi fold doors ) I would of got that gear atleast 20% cheaper if bought all at once on one order delivery . Nice job and thanks for the vid 👍
What's protecting the insulation within floor build up? (To the underside of the floor)
Hi, great video. I'm about to start my own project and had a thought about a floor design which i cant find an example of on the internet with regards to timber sheds.
I'm going to use a level concrete slab as my main foundation/base. Originally for my floor, i was then going to frame out floor joists and insulate inbetween and board ontop, however i have had a thought of whether i need floor joists at all!
Could i use a 50mm x 100mm pressure treated soul plate fixed to the concrete along the perimeter of the shed. Lay DPM over the site (so ontop of soul plate and folded down ontop of know internal concrete slab). Then have a floating floor of 50mm rigid floor insulation butted together and taped, with t&g floor boards floating ontop. Is there a problem with this design? could i get away with it?
Any advice from anyone would be much appreciated.
Alright Rhys, just do it the same as modern houses, if you're doing a concrete slab, simply damp proof, insulate and laminate it or carpet or whatever your flooring will be.
Just the outside looks good . The inside is just like sitting any other room in the house. I believe the garden room should be different from the rest of the house.
Every day he goes to bed regretting that he didn't make his garden room to your exact specifications
top Job 👍👍
Fine looking build. Might I ask. Did u insulate the roof or did I miss that bit ? Cheers
Is that ceiling insulated? Can't see any going in before boarding...
Just out of interest? What happens to the open sided unprotected kingspan on the underside? Wouldn’t you also cover that to Protect the fibres from wicking up moisture? Thanks.
Amazing video! Really helpful! I’ve been trying to find the cedar cladding you used, but I haven’t had any luck :( any chance you could comment the link to it please?
Is that a 2x4 frame for the floor and if so are the calcs right I would like to now if the floor is well springy?? Just a query 👍👍
Very nice. Could you please share what is the overall size of the structure
looks mint, top build quality aswell with no cut corners - but for close to 25 grand id be sick
But that's what it costs. I can't see many doing it cheaper unless you can get materials at cost and no vat. But your normal guy who hasn't got there own business it will cost
Just what I was thinking.....
Hi, are they really 6x2 (150x50mm) joists for the base? Asking because when you insterted 60mm insulation it matches with the thickness of timber joists
Mate I cheered when I recognised the Bexley garden waste bin 😂😂
😂😂😂
Im to lazy to get a calculator! How much in Totally? I might just pay someone to dso the job! It was hard working looking at the video :) Nice finish!
Nice though really nice
You could've made that into a terrific home cinema using one end as the screen and a projector in the shed bit shining through a window.
He wanted a garden - room office, show us yours instead of telling others what to do
@@Probity100 You mean like you're doing?
I agree with you Mark, but when you look at what he spent around £26k would be an expensive cinema, I'd use it as an office/gym. Office to get away from noise kids family TV arguing the wife etc ha ha or gym to save filling your house with gym equipment. I'm building one of these in my own garden, diy style. I reckon i could build the same for about £6,000 + couple crates of beer for unwilling helpers ha ha
markanne54 I have a lovely large garden that I am very happy with. I also enjoy seeing others carrying out DIY on their homes, without critiquing or telling them what they should have done.
Chris maybe it was a suggestion rather than a tell. Hope you’ve chilled a little! 😀
What size beam did you use you over the door? How did you calculate what you needed?
Not bad for 100k 😁😁
How long would the wood framing on the bottom hold in a pretty rainy area?
Thats an extension not a garden room it looks better than the house 😂
😅😅 😂 😂
Anything to avoid council consent fees lol
I'm currently designing up my own garden room and it's not too dissimilar to this.
Is the dual 2x4 header over the bi-fold doors strong enough for it being a load bearing wall? Genuinely interested as I'm putting 3.6m doors on a non-bearing wall and everywhere seems to recommend dual 2x10s on their side, I'm doing the framed surround feature like on this and they're making the roof very deep, so much so i've switch to a cold roof.
Any advice would be welcome
Cool! Speak with the company you are buying the doors from, they told us how to strengthen above the door frame and bifolds always need to be stronger than just regular sliding doors. Wouldn’t want to advise as all bifolds are different weights/sizes!
Good luck with the garden room!
@@NicksHomeRenovations cheers for the reply, makes sense to ask the supplier
One more question, if I wanted to put the weatherproof membrane directly onto the exterior side of the studs and then cover it in exterior grade plywood sheeting, would it cause any issues?
Did you make your own building plans or did you buy them? I'm interested, and might want to build something like this on a smaller scale.
You can get an architect to draw some up for you.
so cool! How much do you roughly quote for one of these? low end and high end? Thinking of having one myself
Depends on a lot of factors to be honest, but these start from £28,000 and are bespoke to your garden/design
wonderful result! enjoyed watching this. did you have to get a building permit for that size of a build?
Thank you. No as under 300 sq ft was permitted development
Hi there! So nice project. Please let me know, how big is that house? Thx, regards!
The garden room is 6m by 4.5m externally, so no planning permission is required.
👌👌👌
Wow! Looks great!!
Top draw work mate
Tiger sanchez Thanks 😊
@@NicksHomeRenovations would you consider doing a job in west Midlands or you do stay around London?
Tiger sanchez no we work on these all across the UK. You can email me at nickshouserenovation@gmail.com if you want to discuss further 👍
Nicely done, appreciate the static camera positions for the time-lapse. Think you over-engineered the floor structure personally but hey-ho! Good job.
Fun room....... bed, drink, telly 😁👍👏🏻
The best!
£22570 at least for materials (I don't know the square footage for some of the calculations).
buy one off the peg for that and get someone to build it !!! Not sure why he paid £800 to paint 1 room either !
@@DrunkDelilahBrewery yip i was thinking the same & £750 for rubber roof aswell🤔
I think this is what he told the missus🤥🤣
22k for a shed is silly money. if he wanted somewhere away from the house to have a pint he should just go to the pub or if all else fails buy a flat close buy and go there .
@@Crsf84 haha
The prices include labour as well as materials..
As of November 2022. I have priced a very similar spec cabin to yours and come to the conclusion ( going buy your prices) you bought most you materials at John Lewis and Harrods ?
Is it really necessary to wrap internally and externally? Wouldn't externally be enough?
Hi Nick, very nice. Do you have a video on the garden room with a snooker table?
kenny w Thank you! Unfortunately the client didn’t want that one to be filmed 😭
The only cost that would change would be the cedar. You could clad it in a different finish
Hi this looks great, was just wondering what thickness EPDM did you use, and did it come in one piece?
I used 1.2mm EPDM and got over 30sqm as one single piece (see video in my channel)
I’m building something quite similar in my garden as a project. I intend for mine to be 8x4m, so slightly bigger. What wood would you recommend best for strength and low cost for use as roof rafters and the frame?
You’ll need planning permission for that as you’re over 30 sq m! Check out the video and use the same as we did for the roof, that would suffice.
Nick Morris already got planning permission, just demolished the outbuilding that was in its place which covers it, thanks for the heads up though! Will do, really appreciate the help!
Nick Morris I forgot to say, amazing build, very impressive!
Don’t need any planning if it’s more than 9 meters from existing building and don’t go above 2.5m from ground. If it’s wood technically should be 1m from your existing boundary line too due to fire hazard. You might be slightly borderline with such an impressive build close to the boundary line but I’m sure you will be fine lol.
How did you secure the frame floor to the posts in the ground?
I don't think you have to, I'm sure it just sits on top
Do you know if you need a permit for this? I’m interested in building one.
Nice work. Maybe I missed this but why did you prioritise the walls vs roof for insulation?
Walls, floor and roof all insulated. The roof insulation was done when installing the EPDM roof 👍
King of the noggings
Hi Nick, why did you decide to build this next to the house and not at the end of the garden? Sunlight or access maybe?
Hi, the client wanted it there for easy access all year around and it replaced the old garage. Don’t want to trudge down the garden in winter and the heating etc is all through the WiFi so can be turned on in advance to prepare!
How long would something like this last before the base frame rotts or would this be a permanent structure?
Had to watch it twice. First time i just watched the clouds🤣
£800 for painting, with dulux. Where did you buy it?
no foil at the bottom? I saw you put foil on top of the floor insulation, but not at the bottom?
Hey guys. What an impressive building project. I’m not surprised you’ve had requests to build these. Any chance of getting or buying some plans for this? Unless you’re building in South Africa too?
I would like that as well. Maybe you guys can sell consultancy over a zoom call?
All that effort and attention to detail yet no ceiling insulation. Why not? Still and awesome outbuilding!!
So you insulated the floor and walls but stopped at the ceiling. Looks 👍
It’s an EPDM roof with built in insulation and membrane 👍
Great build. Did you clad the rear in Cedar as well or something cheaper.
Yes all around 👍
You’d have been better doing the back in some treated feather edged boards to keep the costs down because they’ll never see the back of it
