Garden Rooms with Storage in Reading
Insulated garden rooms, offices and studios built across Berkshire. Free surveys, fixed written quotes, tidy workmanship.
Reading Garden Room Co. builds combined room-and-storage buildings across Reading — an insulated garden room and a proper storage bay under one roof. It solves the puzzle every garden room creates: the new building takes the shed's spot, but the bikes, mower and Christmas decorations didn't evaporate.
One structure does both jobs better and cheaper than two — shared base, shared roof, one clean line across the garden instead of a huddle of outbuildings.
Storage configurations
Side bay
Full-height storage on the gable with double doors — bikes wheel in, room stays pristine, the classic layout.
Rear corridor
A slim store across the back — the front elevation stays all glass while a surprising amount vanishes behind.
Internal lock-up
A partitioned room inside the insulated envelope — for tools and kit that shouldn't freeze or be seen.
Log & bin stores
Open bays matched to the cladding — the wheelie bins finally look intentional.
Combined building prices in Reading
| Configuration | Footprint | Guide price |
|---|---|---|
| Office + side bay | 4m × 3m + 1.5m | £21,500 – £28,000 |
| Room + rear corridor | 5m × 3.5m total | £24,500 – £32,000 |
| Gym + side bay | 5m × 3m + 1.5m | £25,000 – £33,000 |
Storage bays are weathertight but unheated — which is exactly right for mowers and much cheaper per square metre than the room.
The economics of one roof
A storage bay costs roughly half the room's rate per square metre — it shares the base, frame and roof and skips the insulation, glazing and finishes. Compare the alternative: a decent shed bought later runs £800–£2,000, eats another corner of the garden, and never quite matches. Designing the storage in from day one is the rare choice that's better *and* cheaper. Almost every buyer who skips it calls within the year; the ones who don't have very tidy garages.
