Garden Room FAQs
Popular questions answered
Each room is built around a structural timber frame with fully insulated walls, floor and roof - designed for comfortable, year-round use with mains power and smart heating. Everything’s made in our Yorkshire workshop and fitted on ground-screw foundations for a lasting finish. Choose from a wide-range of cladding, with high-performance double glazing throughout. Premium collections add aluminium door systems and further upgrades - all backed by our guarantee.

Laminate flooring comes as standard, with options to upgrade to alternatives like rubber gym matting, tiles or carpet. All laid over the insulated 145mm floor cassette and installed as part of the build - no separate contractor needed.

Finance FAQs
Finance questions, answered
Yes – you can settle your balance, either partially or in full, at any time.
If you settle part of the balance, this will reduce the term and interest payable on the agreement. The direct debit amount will remain unchanged. Alternatively, you can take a payment holiday until the value of the agreement has been used.
If you settle the balance in full, you will be liable for interest up to the date you settle plus a further 30 days. If you repay the full loan early, a £29 processing fee will be payable.
If your application for finance is declined it is likely because you failed to meet Novuna’s eligibility criteria.
That said, we acknowledge that situations change and just because a previous application has been refused, it doesn’t mean you will be automatically refused in the future. We do suggest however, that you leave at least six months between requests.
Please note that we are not provided with any information concerning Novuna’s decisions on finance eligibility and agreements. Any query would need to be directed to Novuna.
When ordering please inform the sales representative that you would like to pay by finance for all or part of your order.
A minimum deposit of 10% of the total amount applied for is required, but you can choose to pay up to 50% of the amount as a deposit.
Please note that the minimum loan value is £5,000 so you will need to consider that when setting your deposit level. Regretfully, orders with finance can only be delivered to your home billing address, to safeguard against fraudulent applications.
Classic Credit (Pay Monthly): For self-assembly items, payments will begin one month after delivery. For installed products, your monthly payments will start one month after completion.
Buy Now Pay Later (Deferred Payment Period): For BNPL agreements, the monthly repayments will start 12 months after the credit agreement has been signed.

Planning Permission FAQs
Often not - many garden rooms fall under permitted development if they're single storey, within height limits, not in the front garden, and not used as living accommodation. Check the current rules for your property.
You can usually build close to a boundary, but if you're within 2m of a boundary, the overall height of a building is generally limited to 2.5m. Beyond 2m, you have more height flexibility.
Usually not, if it's used as incidental space within permitted development limits. Using it as a business with staff or customers visiting, or as living accommodation, changes things.
Permitted development rights are often restricted in conservation areas, national parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Check with your local authority before building.

Booking FAQs
Delivery & Installation FAQs
You will need to provide clear access to the build area – clear of parked cars and bins -and access to power and water on site to allow the delivery and installation to proceed. The team will also need accessible parking space. The necessary requirements will be agreed during your complementary site survey.
If the site is not ready or access, power, water or facilities cannot be provided, this will delay the delivery and installation – and may incur a charge, especially if there is little or no advanced notice given and the team are not able to proceed to plan.
The team will need to have access to the property and site for the building work, and parking. The client is responsible for providing these, including permits and permissions if required.
Principally the team will need facilities to wash hands and clean up, and also lavatory access. If you prefer, we can arrange to bring portable facilities, but this will involve a fee. Please speak to the team about welfare details.
You'll need to provide a 240V power supply, a clear working area, notification of any known underground obstructions (such as cabling or pipes), and safe access and parking. Standard 1,000mm ground screws allow for a maximum 300mm gradient slope; variations beyond the agreed plan may incur additional charges.
Our qualified electricians can complete your power connection and provide the certification you need – this is issued once your final balance is paid and can take up to 21 days to process. Running cable from your house to the garden room site is the customer's responsibility unless otherwise agreed; you'll need at least 10 metres of excess cable reaching the site.
While every care is taken, some minor damage to access routes and working areas can be unavoidable during installation, and any claim is reviewed on an individual basis. We recommend completing garden landscaping after your room is installed to reduce this risk. Tiger Modular Ltd is covered by liability insurance up to £1 million and £10 million employer's liability.
We're happy to fit customer-supplied materials, fittings or appliances on a good-will basis, though we can't be held liable by default for any damage to these items. Any additional items must be agreed in writing on your Home Survey report before the installation team visits.
