How can we view a Slope Spaces garden room?
You can visit our head office showroom/factory in the North East (by appointment only) or you can visit any of our show sites across the UK by looking on our view our garden rooms page https://slopespaces.com/pages/view-a-slope-spaces-garden-room for information and locations.

Can Slope Spaces garden rooms be dismantled/moved?
We are very proud to say yes they can be permanent OR temporary. A great advantage of our rooms is that if you move home the Slope Spaces garden room can go with you. Due to the advanced design, panels and manufacturing ways, we have made this possible. Unlike most garden buildings the Slope Spaces garden room comes apart just as easily as it went together.

Do I need planning permission for a Slope Spaces garden room?
In many cases, your Slope Spaces garden room is built within ‘Permitted Development Rights (PDRs). PDRs are rights to make certain changes to a building without the need to apply for planning permission. They derive from general planning permission granted by Parliament, rather than from permission granted by the local planning authority. Further details can be found here. http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/

Do Slope Space garden rooms need to pass building regulations?
Our garden rooms meet or exceed building regulation requirements. There is no need for formal applications or inspections by Building Control inspectors.

There is limited access to my garden, is this a problem?

Our buildings are prefabricated construction and come in modular SIP panels, so we can be quite flexible even in the tightest of spaces. We only require an opening of 850mm wide and 2400mm high. Our initial discussion will confirm how we can overcome any access challenges. We can even do video chats or view photos to assess thoroughly.

We do not include foundations with our installations but can advise on the best kind of foundation system to match your requirements.
