How much does a garden room cost in Edinburgh?

In Edinburgh, a garden room typically costs between £7,500–£27,500, depending on the project. Scottish costs generally sit below the UK average — Midlothian labour and materials are a real factor. The biggest cost drivers are size and insulation spec, foundations and groundwork, and power, glazing and internal fit-out. Getting two or three quotes is the best way to see a fair local price, which is exactly what our free matching service arranges.
