Bespoke Insulated Garden Rooms
in Norwich and Norfolk
Year Round Garden Offices, Gyms and Studios
A standard garden building often fails to provide the climate control required for daily use during a typical Norfolk winter. At Beams and Braces, we move beyond the "summer house" concept by constructing insulated garden rooms that function as permanent, high performance additions to your property. By utilising high spec thermal barriers in the floors, walls, and ceilings, we provide a space that remains energy efficient and habitable regardless of the external temperature.
For professionals across Norwich and the surrounding Norfolk areas who have transitioned to remote work, a dedicated garden office provides a quiet, detached workspace that encourages productivity without the distractions of the main house. We also specialise in creating robust garden gyms and creative studios, where we engineer the structural framing to support heavy equipment or specific acoustic needs.
Our Process
We manage the entire project, from the initial groundworks to the final internal finishes. In regions with challenging soil conditions, we implement specialised foundation systems to prevent shifting over time. Our builds are typically finished with maintenance free cladding, which can be matched perfectly to your composite decking to create a unified aesthetic for your home. This approach provides a 'fit and forget' solution that adds significant value to your property without the maintenance requirements of traditional timber outbuildings.

Got Questions About Our Garden Rooms?
What sizes do your garden rooms come in?
All of our garden rooms are completely bespoke, meaning we build to your exact dimensions and requirements. Whether it’s a compact home office or a spacious multi-room setup, we tailor it to suit your needs.
Do I need planning permission?
In most cases, garden rooms fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission. However, if your project is larger or located in a conservation area, we can help advise and support any necessary applications.
Are your garden rooms insulated for year-round use?
Yes – every garden room is fully insulated, includes double-glazed windows, and uses energy-efficient materials to ensure it’s warm in winter and cool in summer.
Can I use my garden room as a home office or gym?
Absolutely. Our garden rooms are perfect for a variety of uses including home offices, gyms, art studios, garden bars, or guest accommodation. You decide how it functions, we make it happen.
What foundations do you use?
We typically install either ground screw foundations or concrete bases depending on ground conditions. Both provide strong, lasting support.
Do you cover my area?
We install across Norfolk, Suffolk and the surrounding regions. You can check our Areas We Cover page or contact us directly to confirm.
