Premium garden rooms · Essex
Designed and built across Essex. Offices, gyms, entertainment rooms and extra living space. One company from design to completion.
Properly finished garden rooms, built to become a genuine extension of how you use your home. We don’t expect to be the cheapest. Our focus is the construction behind the finish, the quality of the installation, and one company accountable for all of it.
Design.Build quality.Accountability.
The Essex Home difference
No separate groundworkers, electricians, plasterers or air-conditioning installers to find and chase. One team, one contract, one point of accountability.
We start with your garden, your house and what the room is for, then design around all three.

Foundations suited to the ground, an engineered frame, insulation and a roof that will outlast the mortgage.

Garden rooms
Not three fixed boxes in small, medium and large. Every room is designed around your property and what it’s for.
Quiet, connected working space.
Built around equipment, flooring and climate.
Bars, media walls, lighting and sound.
Pool tables, gaming set-ups, seating.
Creative work, beauty businesses, hobbies.
Designed to do more than one job well.
Bespoke garden rooms
Awkward plots, sloping gardens, rooms that need to do two jobs, or a design you’ve already sketched. Start with a conversation.
How they’re built
Most people can judge a kitchen. Fewer can judge a wall build-up. Hover over or tap each layer to see what it does.
The finish you see: timber, composite or contemporary board, fixed to battens so it can move and dry.
The finish you see: timber, composite or contemporary board, fixed to battens so it can move and dry.
A gap behind the cladding that lets air circulate and moisture escape, so the structure never sits wet.
A breather membrane that keeps rain out while letting water vapour leave the wall.
The engineered timber frame that carries the roof and takes the fixings for everything else.
Fills the frame in walls, floor and roof. This is what makes the room usable in January and July.
A layer on the warm side that stops moisture from inside the room condensing within the wall.
Plasterboard fixed to the frame: a solid, straight wall ready for skim.
Plastered, painted, floored and lit to the standard of a room inside the house.

From the first visit to handover it was one team and one point of contact. The office is warm in January, the electrics are proper, and the finish is better than our kitchen.
Homeowner, Rayleigh · Google review
Two other quotes were basically sheds with insulation. Essex Home built us an actual room: plastered, air conditioned, wired for the TV, and left the garden tidier than they found it.
Homeowner, Brentwood · Google review
The construction is the difference. We watched the frame, the membranes and the insulation go in, and you can feel it when the doors are shut in February.
