What happens to home offices that are retired at the end of a day or weekend? We’ve found that many morph into a quality family space. Large TV or projector screens create games, TV or even home cinema experience spaces.
Our insulated garden rooms are the perfect solution for creating an additional multi-use space for your home, whether for work or play.
Our Designer can offer ideas that would afford you the best use of internal space. This is including best positions for sockets, sofas, and screens (external light can affect these).
Garden buildings provide the ultimate value for money. They have substantially lower costs compared to house extensions, and loft or garage conversions.
Benefits of a garden games room

And relax…
A getaway from the pressures of work and home life is offered by a garden games room, allowing you to enjoy some much-needed alone time.
Why a family games room?
The best-dedicated location for friends and family to unwind and spend quality time together is a garden room, which makes for a fantastic games room. For beautiful, multipurpose areas, a Kingdom garden games room may be customised to your tastes and lifestyle. The possibilities are limitless. A video game area complete with a toilet for gaming marathons A huge multi-purpose space with extra seats for a variety of events throughout the year? Alternatively, if all you want to do is build your own pub in your garden, we can work with you to design the ideal bar that can either be the focal point of the space or tucked away in a corner. It could be the perfect spot to sit, unwind, and pass a couple of hours.
Games room features
Our garden building’s super insulation keeps your family space regulated to comfortable temperatures. Additionally, they’re low in cost to run. In fact, heat will be retained after you finish your work day.
A CAT6 internet connection ensures gamers keep on gaming and films keep on playing. Our Wifi options include lights and heating controlled by an app or the likes of Alexa. We can include many other electrical requests from disco lighting to whatever your imagination conjures up.
Insurance-approved locks offer peace of mind whilst strategically placed windows and doors can allow you to monitor the activities from your house.
A simple cabinet can hide a multitude of materials. Such as hobby-craft, which can instantly create a fun environment and another use for your garden room.
Tip: A family tv room could allow for a habitable space where people may sleep or have toilet and wash facilities. We can design such a building which would fall under full Building Regulations and possibly planning too.
The process
Show site
Our customers tell us that a visit to our show site is invaluable. Seeing actual buildings beats images on the web hands down and we can show you the options available. You also see the differences between building methods, how buildings perform differently, variations on lifespan and why costs vary. Even if you order elsewhere, this guidance can be invaluable.
Site design visit
If you like what you see and you ask, we can then visit your home to see the site and from your ‘likes’ we can usually design and price your building whilst we sit with you. Seeing and hearing your exact needs helps us build to your specification or budget whilst collecting unique site data should you wish to proceed.
Order & survey
Our fixed price quotation contains much detail, vital to sharing with our whole team once you order. Once a deposit is received we return to the site to carry out a detailed survey and ‘stake out’ your building location. Our team will then communicate key stages of the build in more detail on the ‘Procedures’ page of our website for guidance. Stage payments will be requested at key points with a balance paid at the end.
Installation
We try to deliver materials in advance to allow for a prompt (and sometimes early) start. Generally, we start 4-6 weeks from order and our build time is around 2 weeks. We take steps to reduce disturbance to your household and property with our office and team on-site communicating and involving you at key stages. Your 10-year Insurance Underwritten guarantee details are released for registration once the final payment is received.
Garden games room FAQ
Generally no, if it is not lived in, is below 2.5m high and has no water supply or waste.
There could be some exceptions and we are here to assist with further guidance here: https://www.kingdomrooms.com/legal-notice. We take our guidance for the Government Building Portal here: https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/43/outbuildings
Electrics can be connected but your existing home consumer unit (fuse box) will need to meet current Building Regulations and be up to the task. Water and waste can be installed but this could require a pump due to distance and the need for Building Regulations for the structure.
Convection electrical heaters create instant heat whilst underfloor and radiators are slower to heat up. Forget gas appliances as regulation changes will outdate these. Log burners look great and need to be professionally installed.
This differs considerably. A solid building capable of meeting Building regulations will be known to stand up to the test of strong winds and snow loading that our weather often brings. Lessor buildings may suffer from a movement that presents itself as cracks in internal corners and joints.
We use Polyurethane insulation inside our walls, floor and roof as standard which gives excellent sound insulation. We also offer upgrades from double glazing to acoustic glass.
Just ask Alexa! We can offer an app or device-controlled lighting, heating and sockets for remote and safe access. Our sockets are future-proofed with both Type A & C USB charging points. CAT 6 is an optional wire that negates any unreliable WiFi for an internet connection. Our electrical options include LED lighting features alongside our standard low-voltage spotlights internally and externally.
Now that’s a question with no simple answer. Simple being key. A low-cost building with less insulation and features will cost from £3000 but will not last as long as a high-quality building. Installation fees will vary depending on attention to detail and the type of base you require, as will internal and external finishing details. We offer one timber that costs twice as much as a cheap version and we have another that costs five times as much. With so many variations, we recommend that you budget between £1000 and £2000 per square meter of the base. Bi-fold doors, roof lights and interior fittings can push this higher.
Kingdom Rooms can construct to meet building Regulations for disability access with low thresholds, wide access and easy-reach sockets and switches. We can also assist with ramps, auto-activated doors and a bespoke design to site windows and doors around your planned room.
