"We turned the end of our garden in Swansea into a timber garden office. I can finally take calls without the kids wandering in. Nestive checked whether we needed planning, explained the rules in plain English, and confirmed we were fine under permitted development. They kept us in the loop, turned up when they said they would, and the finish is spot on. Cosy in winter, cool in summer."
Hattie S., Swansea





Choosing to improve your Penarth property is a long-term decision — and a well-built garden room delivers value, comfort, and quality that lasts for years.
Designed for Every Space: Our designs are 100% bespoke, ideal for Penarth’s varied homes and gardens — from compact town plots to spacious coastal gardens. Each garden building is made to fit seamlessly, making the best use of your available space.
Built for Year-Round Use: Every Nestive garden room is fully insulated and double-glazed for comfort through all seasons. Warm in winter, cool in summer — perfect for work, fitness, or quiet downtime.
Adds Genuine Property Value: A high-quality, custom-built garden office or garden studio doesn’t just add space; it adds appeal and market value. Local homeowners in Penarth recognise it as a timeless investment that enhances both lifestyle and home value.
If you’re wondering about planning permission, most garden rooms in Penarth fall within Welsh permitted development rules. As long as your structure is under 2.5m near a boundary, sits behind the main house, and is used for personal purposes such as a garden office, gym, or hobby room, no formal permission is required.
If your design is larger or intended for separate accommodation, we’ll handle all planning checks and liaise with the Vale of Glamorgan Council on your behalf — so the process is simple, stress-free, and fully compliant.



We visit your home to listen, advise, and visualise how your garden space can work best.

We confirm whether permission is needed and handle all council details, giving you total peace of mind.

Our team produces bespoke drawings and 3D visuals — turning ideas into a clear, achievable plan.

Experienced installers construct your garden room with care, quality materials, and minimal disruption.

Every room includes a 10-year structural warranty, plus full guidance on caring for your new space.
Homeowners — Add a garden office, home gym, guest suite, or garden studio that blends beautifully with your outdoor space.

Every garden room in Penarth is custom-built to your requirements and includes our Core Specification — insulation, double glazing, electrics, flooring, and solid foundations.
For those seeking more, options such as enhanced cladding, panoramic doors, climate control, or integrated decking can be tailored to your design. These upgrades are entirely flexible and will be explored in detail during your consultation.
We’ll design a garden building that fits your exact style and needs.
In most cases, no. Nestive's garden rooms are generally designed to fall within Welsh Permitted Development rights, meaning planning permission is not required. Crucially, the rules in Wales differ slightly from England. We handle all the necessary checks with your local council on your behalf to ensure full compliance before any build begins.
We stand by the quality of our craftsmanship with a 10-year structural guarantee for lasting peace of mind. Our aftercare service ensures we walk you through the final details, and we're always on hand if you have any questions once you start using your fantastic new space.
Absolutely. Every Nestive room is fully insulated to a high residential standard (in the walls, floor, and roof). This quality build ensures your space stays wonderfully warm in winter and cool in summer, guaranteeing comfortable, year-round use regardless of the weather in South Wales.
A well-built, high-specification garden room from Nestive is considered a valuable asset. Local property experts agree that a quality, functional room can increase your home's saleability and potentially add between 5% and 15% to its market value, giving you a strong advantage in the local market.
The timeline depends on the design complexity. Once the design is finalised and approved, the on-site build process is designed to be as fast as possible, typically taking a few weeks, with minimal disruption to your home life. We provide a clear, detailed timeline from your first design call.
Our Timber rooms offer a warm, natural aesthetic with maximum design flexibility. Our Container rooms are built using repurposed shipping containers, offering a fast, cost-effective, and contemporary industrial look, often suited for smaller or urban spaces.
