IF YOU WANT AN EXTENSION-QUALITY GARDEN ROOM THAT CREATES A BETTER ENVIRONMENT FOR YOU AND ADDS VALUE TO YOUR HOUSE PRICE 

Our Background 

We are Glorious Garden Rooms, a family business headed up by Richard de Sousa.  
 
We started over 20 years ago, renovating buildings for ourselves but for the last decade have worked for people like you. We’ve worked on single bathroom renovations, up to million pound projects on multi-million pound properties in Central London and Birmingham. 
 
We have provided advice to homeowners like you in the “Ask An Expert” areas of both Grand Designs and the Homebuilding & Renovating Shows and have given presentations on stage on how to choose the right building contractor. 
 
Our previous renovation company, Mister & Missus Ltd won regional awards in the Master Builder of the Year Awards 2015 and 2017 and were proud National winners in the Heritage category in 2019. 

Master Builders with Years of Experience 

We are award winning master builders; you won’t find our product in a garden centre. 
 
We’ve been working as a team for over two decades and our combined experience runs into over hundred years! 
 
We treat your project as if it were a project in our own home. Your end product with us will be something that is aesthetically pleasing, but more importantly comfortable, practical and permanent. 

The Inspiration Behind Glorious Garden Rooms 

Our family recently moved into our own self built home, made from Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which became our inspiration for Glorious Garden Rooms. 
 
We were wanting to buy a garden room for ourselves, but were unable to couldn’t find the quality that we needed. We wanted a permanent extension to our home, not a shed.  
 
Because our house was built from SIPs, we already knew that they could be the perfect solution for a garden room. Not only do we have our own glorious garden room, we can now offer one to you. 

Knowledge of Regulations 

The UK has complicated planning laws and building regulations. 
 
Our background in managing bricks and mortar projects for two decades means that we have the experience, knowledge and continuing desire to meet the standards required of homebuilders. 
 
You may find that some companies skirt over whether permissions are needed because they are interested in working outside of the regulations, minimising material costs for them and avoiding administrative work. An outbuilding doesn’t legally need to conform to minimum build standards, but that doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t! 
Quality of Build and Materials 
 
If you are looking for a building that will add value to your home as well as to your quality of life, then you’re in the right place. 
 
Garden rooms are not all built the same. Our extension quality garden rooms are built to last. There are other companies offering quality garden rooms, but there are far more offering glorified sheds. If you are looking for a glorified shed, you will find companies that can give you what you want, for a lower price and sometimes for a similar price. When you’ve decided what you want, do your homework on what your money is buying. 

Federation of Master Builders 

To show you a sign of quality, we are members of the Federation of Master Builders. 
 
All members are all vetted before joining; the FMB checks trading history, accounts and we are required to submit our insurance documents each year. Every single member has had at least one project independently inspected to ensure that we meet high standards. We must also abide by a strict Code of Conduct.
