sorted byNote that these are finish measurements, NOT the levels of insulation. The walls have 50mm PIR, the floors have 25mm PIR, and the roof is a Frankenstein monster of shaped foam meeting a pretty woeful U value of 0.32W/m² K. Modern regs require roofs to meet 0.15W/m² K but this doesn't even meet the old regs of 0.18W/m² K.
There's also a load of things to consider about how these panels seal together and to your house. The tiny bit of insulation it has won't do anything if there's a breeze blowing through. It's probably better than a conservatory, but good enough for winter?
This is at least double the material cost. If you've any DIY in you, and a friend with a TP trade account, you could probably make something much better for half the price. Shop around for PIR. It's all essentially the same but I'd recommend bonding it to OSB if you're using it for large panels.
The foundations on their own would cost at least 50% of the build and that's without checking if the supplied materials achieve the minimum technical standards.
You're more likely to devalue your property by adding one of these to your home!!!

LBA made him knock it down and build it again up to regs, as anything with a solid ref is considered an extension.
This wont meet reg's in a million years and will require demolition when you sell your house if the buyer wants a mortgage, i had to have 100mm floor insulation, cavity filled wool + kingspain backed 60mm plasterboard for the walls + roof has two layers of PIR to achieve the correct u values.
I now have full LBA sign off.
so some advice save your money please as you will devalue your house with this.
Then when you add ground prep and any power, heating and ventilation requirements it becomes alot more than £7k
You also couldnt get Building Regs approval as it is not compliant - In my opinion you would need a screw loose to buy this. (edited)
Would you run a mile from any house with a conservatory?
The problem I see is they’re a throw away item and not gonna last…
a concrete base, 3 brick walls and a tile roof would last 100 years and add real value to your home.
we’re following america with their slashed up throwaway homes & add on’s that could see issues in under 30 years (or 10 with these shed rooms) with lots of maintenance, but what would I know.
No planning needed.
Solid footing base, bricks and mortar, damp course, cavity insulation.
I’ve charged a lot less then this to get the shell up from in the ground as a summer weekend job.
Say the full extinsion costs 12-15k (Yorkshire) complete, I know what i’d rather have!
This is more akin to the plastic conservatories of the 90s
Certainly not the bargain it appears, just a future money pit for maintenance. Lets not even start with building regs, insurance etc..
All jokes aside, it will need a foundation (not footings though as I think you are meaning) and no it doesn't NEED a builder, but if you look at it without a clue then, yes it does need a builder (edited)
Still a good deal if you were considering spending upwards of 20k to build and extension anyways.
Its a lot of money for some plastic and glass (edited)
Surely garden rooms/offices are more fashionable nowadays? Something like this one?
