How to Order Your Oeco Garden Room – Our Order & Installation Process

Early Oeco Install

From Your First Enquiry to Your Finished Garden Room

At Oeco Garden Rooms, we believe ordering a new garden building should be simple, straightforward and enjoyable.

Whether you're purchasing a garden room, garden office, garden studio, garden pod or soundproof room, our experienced team will guide you through every stage, from choosing your ideal design to the professional installation of your completed building.

Our comprehensive service includes advice on building specifications, a free site survey, suitable foundations and professional on-site installation, all designed to make the process as convenient and stress-free as possible.

With a £250 refundable reservation fee, flexible design options and experienced installation teams, securing your new Oeco garden building couldn't be easier.

Step 1 – Choose Your Ideal Garden Building

The first step is to select the garden building that best suits your requirements, available space and budget.

Oeco offers an extensive range of fully insulated garden buildings, including Essential Garden Pods, Premium Garden Rooms, Luxury Garden Studios, garden offices, soundproof rooms, garden lodges and other specialist buildings.

Choose your preferred building size, external cladding, doors, windows, internal finishes and any additional features.

Our knowledgeable sales team is available to discuss the different options, provide quotations and help you choose the most suitable specification.

Whether you're creating a peaceful garden office, home gym, entertainment space or luxury garden studio, we'll help you find the right building for your needs.

Step 2 – Check Planning Permission & Building Requirements

Many Oeco garden buildings can be installed without planning permission under the government's Permitted Development rules.

However, the requirements depend on the building's size, height, location, intended use and any restrictions affecting your property.

Boundary distances are particularly important, especially when considering larger garden rooms or buildings positioned close to neighbouring properties.

Before ordering, we recommend reviewing our detailed Garden Room Planning Permission and Building Regulations guides.

Our sales team can also discuss the dimensions of your proposed building and provide information to help you establish which requirements may apply.

Where formal consent or approval is required, this should be obtained before installation begins.

Step 3 – Arrange Your Free Site Survey

Before proceeding with your order, Oeco offers a free site survey with no deposit or financial commitment required.

Our survey helps establish the suitability of your proposed garden room location, including ground conditions, access requirements, foundations and any additional preparation work.

This gives you the opportunity to discuss your installation requirements and receive professional advice before committing to your purchase.

Where unusual ground conditions, significant slopes or additional preparation work are identified, we'll discuss the available options and any associated costs before proceeding.

Step 4 – Reserve Your Installation Date for Just £250

Once you've chosen your preferred garden building, you can secure an available installation date with a £250 fully refundable reservation fee.

If you decide not to proceed, your £250 reservation fee will be refunded in full, giving you complete peace of mind.

Approximately four weeks before your scheduled installation, a 50% deposit becomes payable. At this stage, Oeco begins ordering the materials specifically required for your garden building, including doors, windows and other components tailored to your chosen specification.

As your garden building is prepared specifically for you, cancellations after this stage may involve charges for materials ordered and costs already incurred. Full details are provided in our Terms and Conditions, and your statutory rights remain unaffected.

Step 5 – Prepare Your Garden for Installation

Before our installation team arrives, the proposed construction area should be cleared and ready for work.

This includes removing any existing structures, vegetation, stored materials or other obstacles that could interfere with installation.

Our installation team will require suitable access between their vehicle and the proposed building location.

Parking for at least one large van should be available reasonably close to the property throughout the installation.

Access routes must also be sufficiently wide and high to allow building materials and components to be transported safely.

Very narrow or twisting passageways, restricted access routes and low overhead clearances may create difficulties.

Any potential access issues should be discussed during the site survey so suitable arrangements can be made in advance.

Step 6 – Professional On-Site Construction

Oeco garden buildings are professionally constructed on-site by experienced installation teams.

Our teams operate throughout the UK, with installations normally beginning on a Monday.

On the first day, the team will typically arrive during the early afternoon, discuss the final building position, unload materials and begin preparing the foundations and structural timber base.

Over the following days, construction progresses through the structural framework, roof, external cladding, doors, windows, insulation, internal finishes and electrical installations.

Our installation teams are generally booked into local accommodation for the duration of the project, allowing them to concentrate on completing your building efficiently.

Most standard garden room installations are completed within approximately 7 working days, although larger or more complex projects may require additional time.

Step 7 – A Flexible, Bespoke Installation Process

One of the advantages of choosing Oeco is the flexibility available when designing and installing your garden building.

Our experienced teams will work with you to ensure the finished building reflects your agreed requirements.

Depending on the building design and stage of construction, there may be opportunities to confirm the precise positioning of internal electrical sockets, lighting, switches and other selected features during installation.

Important structural details, door and window configurations, specialist materials and other components must be agreed in advance where necessary.

Our aim is to combine the benefits of a carefully planned building specification with the personal service and flexibility of professional on-site construction.

Throughout the installation, our team will be available to discuss progress and answer questions.

Step 8 – Completion, Inspection & Final Handover

Once your garden room has been completed, our installation team will carry out final checks, tidy the building and remove installation debris and surplus materials.

You'll have the opportunity to inspect your completed garden room and confirm that everything meets your agreed specification.

Following completion, a qualified electrician will attend to inspect and test the internal electrical installation and issue the appropriate Part P electrical certification.

Your garden room will also require a suitable connection to your property's mains electrical supply. This can be arranged through your own qualified electrician or quoted separately by Oeco.

The outstanding balance becomes payable upon completion of your garden building.

With installation complete and the necessary electrical work carried out, your new Oeco garden room will be ready to enjoy.

This allows you to secure an available installation date without immediately making a substantial financial commitment. Once the 50% deposit stage is reached, different cancellation terms apply, as explained in our Terms and Conditions.

4. When Do I Pay the Remaining Balance?

The outstanding balance is payable upon completion of your garden room installation. Our installation team will carry out final checks and give you the opportunity to inspect your completed building. A qualified electrician will subsequently attend to test the internal electrical installation and issue the appropriate electrical certification.

5. Do You Offer a Free Site Survey Before Ordering?

Yes. Oeco offers a free site survey with no deposit or financial commitment required. We'll assess the proposed building location, ground conditions, access arrangements and foundation requirements. This helps identify any potential installation difficulties or additional preparation work before you proceed with your order.

6. How Long Does It Take to Install an Oeco Garden Room?

Most standard Oeco garden rooms are professionally installed within approximately seven working days, depending on the building's size, specification and site conditions. Larger or more complex buildings may take longer. Our experienced installation teams manage the construction process from foundations and structural assembly through to internal finishing.

Yes. Suitable foundations and professional on-site installation are included in our standard garden room prices.

9. Can I Make Changes to My Garden Room After Ordering?

We offer a wide choice of customisation options, including external cladding, doors, windows, flooring and electrical features. Changes can usually be discussed before materials are ordered.
