More Than Just a Garage.

A “Room Above” garage is the smartest investment you can make in your property. By utilising the roof space, you create a versatile living area without eating up more garden area. Whether you need a quiet home office away from the main house or a guest suite for visiting family, our heavy timber structures provide the strength and warmth required.

Built for Living:
Unlike standard garages, these frames are engineered with heavy-duty floor joists systems and insulation capacity in mind. They are delivered ready for first-fix electrics, plumbing, and plasterboarding.

Choose Your Timber

Premium Green Oak: Instantly elevates your property with timeless character, strength, and lasting value.

Douglas Fir (The Smart Choice): A cost-effective alternative that delivers the bold, heavy-timber aesthetic—without the premium price tag.

Fully Customisable Standard Frames

Dormer Windows

Add Barn Hip or Gable dormer windows to the roofline. This is essential to flood the upper floor with natural light and increase the standing headroom.

The Staircase

Choose an External Oak Staircase (to keep the upstairs private/separate) or an Internal Staircase (for dry, secure access from inside the garage).

Balcony

Add a sheltered Oak Balcony to the gable end. Perfect for a home office with a view or a luxury guest suite.

Roof Lights

We can incorporate Velux or conservation roof lights into the design for a bright, airy studio feel without changing the roof profile.

Specification & Dimensions

Ridge Height

Typically 5.2m – 5.8m. (Note: Because this exceeds 4m, this building usually requires Planning Permission).

Floor Structure

We use heavy-duty joist systems or structural Oak Beams to ensure the floor is rigid, soundproof, and capable of taking domestic loads.

Knee Walls

We can raise the eaves height to create “knee walls” upstairs, ensuring you have usable floor width right to the edges of the 1st floor area.

Insulation

The frame is designed with a deeper cavity to meet full Building Regulations including standard insulation, making it suitable for year-round living.
