FAQs

How to insulate a shed?

To insulate a garden shed, you’ll want to start by choosing the suitable insulation material, whether that’s fibreglass or foam boards. To install the material, measure the walls, roof and floors so you can cut the insulation to the required dimensions. Starting with the walls, place the insulation between the studs and secure the material with staples or adhesive.

You can do the same for the roof but between the rafters instead. For the floor, you’ll need to place a moisture barrier prior to laying the insulation boards, before finishing it off by adding a plywood cover over the top. Lastly, seal any gaps or cracks using caulk or weatherstripping to maximise insulation performance.

Do I need planning permission for a shed?

As long as your shed meets or is below 2.5 metres tall, it's not taking up 50% of your garden and not being used as a living space, it is very unlikely that you’d need planning permission for a garden shed.

How do you move a garden shed?

Before you begin to manoeuvre your shed, make sure you’ve emptied it to make it as light and easy as possible. Next, make sure all anchored parts are detached before lifting it with a few strong individuals or using a dolly. If your shed is quite large, there’s always the option of professional movers who have the right equipment. Once it's placed in your desired location, make sure it's level and secured again so that you can continue using it as usual.

How to waterproof a shed?

The best way to waterproof a shed is by applying a weatherproof wood treatment or an exterior paint. You should also make sure gaps are sealed around windows and doors using caulk, and inspect the roof shingles for any signs of wear or damage. If possible, it’s recommended sheds are raised slightly off the ground to stop moisture from the ground seeping in.

Can I put a shed in my front garden?

It’s possible to put a shed in your front garden, but you’ll likely need planning permission as sheds installed in front of the main front wall of a house don’t tend to be covered by permitted development rights. You should check with your local council for guidelines.

How high can a shed be?

In the UK, sheds shouldn’t exceed 2.5m in height if it’s within 2m of your property boundary. If further than this, your shed can be up to 3m high as long as it has a flat roof, or 4m high with a dual-pitched roof that’s under permitted development rules.

What is a garden room?

A garden room refers to an exterior building placed or installed in a garden space to extend a home’s living space, whether to relax in or use as an office, amongst other reasons. 

Do you need planning permission for a garden room?

Generally, no, as long as your garden room meets your local permitted development rules, such as being single storey and not taking up 50% of your garden space.

Does a garden room add value to a property?

Yes, it’s possible for a garden room to add an extra 5-15% extra value to a property if it’s high quality, well-built and fully insulated.
