Questions people ask

How much does a garden room cost in Cork?

A small timber cabin is €6,700 to €9,000 room only. A fitted, insulated 12 to 16 m² room is €25,250, 20 m² €32,000 and 25 m² €41,000, VAT included. See the price guide.

How long does it take?

Most of the time is the wait for a slot and the making. On site, a cabin on a ready base goes up in a few days; a fitted room takes longer, with the base, the electrics and the finish. Ask for the lead time and the days on site in writing. See how long it takes.

Is there a grant for a garden room?

No. SEAI grants are for energy upgrades to the home itself, and there's no council grant for garden rooms. What you can control is the spec and the size.

Will it wreck the garden?

Less than an extension. Ground screws need almost no digging; a slab means a dig, shuttering and a few days to cure. The cable trench from the house is the other dig. Ask who reinstates the lawn and takes away the waste, in writing.
