Wellness. Escape. Luxury. Living.
Our Mission
At Well Garden Retreats, we believe in balance—between work and play, movement and relaxation, luxury and functionality. True wellness isn’t just about fitness; it’s about creating spaces that enhance every part of life.

Why We Exist
WELL stands for Wellness Escape & Luxurious Living, and that’s exactly what we create—beautiful, functional outdoor spaces that bring people together, support wellbeing, and elevate everyday living. It all started at an outdoor family drinks event, where Leon and John met, sharing their passion for outdoor living, great design, and the connection between lifestyle and wellbeing. Leon, with his 20+ years in high-end home construction, had been repeatedly asked to build home gyms, spa retreats, outdoor entertainment areas, and bespoke garden offices—leading him to refine his process, optimize his designs, and create something truly special. John, with 20+ years at the cutting edge of health, fitness, and wellness, understood how to make these spaces not just look great, but work for the people using them. Their conversation turned into a vision—to create spaces that don’t just exist but enhance lives. And so, Well Garden Retreats was born.

FAQ
How much does a garden building cost?
From £30k to £80k - Pricing depends on size, layout, and use (gym, office, spa). We'll help shape your budget with a clear, no-obligation quote.
Do I need planning permission?
Often no-but it depends. If your building has under 30m2 of internal space, is under 2.5m high, not used for sleeping, and meets boundary rules, planning permission usually isn't required.
Bonus: Our fire-rated walls allow us to build right up to the boundary-safely and legally-maximising your usable footprint. Need more space? We can add canopies without affecting the permitted internal size.

Why don't you use ground screws?
They shift. Ours don't. Ground screws can sink or move, especially under gym use or tree roots. Our slab + support matrix system keeps things rock solid.
Can you build right up to the boundary?
Yes. That's one of our superpowers. Thanks to our fire-retardant wall system, we often build where others can't.
Will it stay warm and quiet inside?
Absolutely. With 100mm insulation, a cold roof system, and EPDM roofing, our builds are cosy and silent-even in heavy rain.
Will it rattle in the rain like some metal roofs?
No way. Our EPDM roof is quiet, sealed, and guaranteed for 70 years.
What foundations do you use?
600mm slab + post-hole system. No concrete pour, no screw risk-just a stable, futureproof base built for any soil.
Are your buildings building regs compliant?
They can be. We build to standard specs (no regs needed) or full regs when required (e.g. annex use or larger builds).
What do I get with your service?
Design. Delivery. Build. Done. We manage the whole process, no showrooms or hard-sell. Just a pro finish.
How quickly will I hear back?
Fast. Often next morning. Most people contact us after being ignored elsewhere. We won't ghost you.
