Built any time of year — winter slows the foundation pour but rarely stops it. ### Why It Matters Garden rooms either become the most-used room in the property or rot in the corner of the garden inside five years. The difference is the build spec: proper foundation, full insulation envelope, EPDM warm roof, mains electrics — not a glorified shed with a heater. What Happens If You Wait ## The Cost Of Doing Nothing. Cheap garden rooms fail predictably. The roof leaks at the parapet, the floor goes cold, the cladding twists, and the electrics were always undersized. ### Risks Of Ignoring It - → Single-skin uninsulated build — usable in summer, unusable November to March. - → Felt or torch-on roof on a flat deck without falls — pools water, fails in three winters. - → Cladding fitted direct to sheathing with no ventilation cavity — moisture trapped, boards rot from behind. - → Spur off a 13A socket for power — trips constantly under heater or PC load, no certificate. - → No DPC or insulated floor — cold strikes up, condensation under furniture. ### Common Mistakes Customers Make - × Buying a flat-pack from the cheapest online supplier and self-erecting — site spec rarely matches PD rules. - × Going under-spec on insulation to save a few hundred pounds — costs more in heating across one winter. - × Skipping the dedicated circuit from the consumer unit — power problems forever. - × Building closer than 2m to the boundary with combustible cladding — Permitted Development breach. Our Process ## First Call To Final Sign-Off. 01 ### Survey & Feasibility Site visit, position planning (PD volume / boundary distances), services routing from the house, foundation choice for ground conditions. 02 ### Design & Fixed Quote Spec written against use case (office / gym / studio), itemised written quote, programme attached. 03 ### Foundations & Frame Concrete pad, ring beam, raft slab or screw piles depending on ground; insulated timber frame erected on a level base. 04 ### Envelope & Services EPDM warm roof, breather membrane, ventilated cladding cavity, cladding, triple-glazed door and windows, mains electrics on dedicated circuit from house consumer unit. 05 ### Finish & Sign-Off Internal insulation, vapour barrier, plaster or panel finish, flooring, second-fix electrics with NAPIT certificate, contract guarantee in writing. Credentials ## What Stands Behind The Work. ### Fully Insured £2m public liability and £2m employers' liability cover. [ ### FMB Members Federation of Master Builders — verified profile. ](https://www.fmb.org.uk/builder/ultra-build-northwest-ltd.html) ### Structural Work In-House Carried out by Ultra Build's own team — not subcontracted out. ### Garden & External Works Handled in-house alongside the main build. ### NAPIT-Registered Electricians Electrical work carried out by our NAPIT-registered specialist subcontractors, with certification on completion. ### Gas Safe-Registered Engineers Gas work carried out by our Gas Safe-registered specialist subcontractors, with certification on completion. ### The Team Around 7 full-time staff, and 20+ including long-standing subcontractors we've worked with for 5+ years. Why It's Worth It ## What You Actually Get. ### Usable Year-Round Insulation envelope and triple glazing specced for UK weather — warm in winter, cool in summer, dry in autumn. ### Mains Electrics On Dedicated Circuit Wired back to the house consumer unit on its own RCD-protected circuit by a NAPIT-registered specialist — certificate issued. ### EPDM Warm Roof Single-piece EPDM rubber with proper falls — no felt seams, 20+ year material warranty. ### Ventilated Cladding Larch, cedar or composite cladding on a ventilated cavity — boards stay dry, finish lasts. ### Fixed-Price Only Written quote against your spec. ### Workmanship Guarantee Up to 5 years on internal renovation defects, written into the contract. Workmanship Guarantee ## Written Into The Contract. Every Ultra Build Northwest contract carries a workmanship guarantee in writing. It covers defects with the structural build and plumbing issues such as faulty fittings — not just a verbal promise.

Built to use 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, every week of the year. ### Garden Gyms & Studios Reinforced floor for racks and free weights, electrics sized for treadmills / cable machines, mirror wall, ventilation specced for sweat and moisture.

Engineer's design where the site warrants it. ### Permitted Development & Planning Most garden rooms fall under Permitted Development — height limits, volume limits and boundary distances apply.
