VertexGarden Rooms

Our process

Seven steps, and you always know what's next.

A garden room is a five-figure decision — so the way it's run should be visible, not a mystery. Here is exactly how a Vertex build goes, who handles each stage, and roughly how long it takes.

  1. 01

    First conversation

    Day one

    You & Ollie

    Call or email with what you have in mind — the garden, roughly how you’d use the room, any size or budget in your head. Ollie listens properly and gives you an honest, early sense of whether it’s the right fit before anyone commits to anything.

  2. 02

    Free site survey

    Usually within 5–7 working days

    Ollie, on your ground

    We come to you, measure the space, check access and the lie of the ground, and talk through orientation, glazing and where the doors want to face. Seeing the garden is what turns a rough idea into a room that actually suits the plot.

  3. 03

    Detailed quote & design

    Within about a week of the survey

    Ollie

    You get a detailed, thorough written quote — the exact spec, not a vague ballpark — often alongside a 3D concept so you can picture it. Clients single this out in their reviews: a quote that’s clear, itemised and easy to ask questions about.

  4. 04

    Deposit & scheduling

    When you’re ready to go

    You & Ollie

    A deposit secures your slot in the schedule and books the materials. We agree a start date and a realistic build window up front, so you know exactly when the team arrives and roughly when you’ll have the keys.

  5. 05

    Groundwork & base

    First days on site

    The Vertex team

    We prepare and lay the foundation to suit your ground, so the building sits dead level and stays dry underneath. The unglamorous stage that everything else quietly depends on for decades.

  6. 06

    Build & fit-out

    Typically 1–3 weeks, size depending

    The Vertex team

    Frame, insulation, cladding, roof, doors and glazing go up, then the interior is fitted out — power, data, heating, plastering, flooring and the final trim. Same directly-employed team throughout; they turn up when they say they will and keep the site tidy.

  7. 07

    Handover & guarantee

    The day it’s finished

    You & Ollie

    We walk the finished room with you, hand over any manufacturer paperwork registered in your name, and set out your guarantee in writing. And if anything isn’t right afterwards, the same team comes back to put it right.

After handover, you're not on your own. The structure carries a 10-year guarantee, and if anything we installed isn't right, the same team comes back and sorts it — no quibble.
