Professional Garden Rooms in Torbay
For homeowners in Torquay looking to expand their living space, the P600 modular system offers a durable, high-specification solution. These are not basic timber structures; they are permanent steel-framed buildings designed to provide the same level of comfort and insulation as a modern house. Each module provides approximately 13m² of floor space and can be used individually or combined to create larger layouts.
Our garden rooms are produced in a controlled factory environment to ensure consistent quality. This process eliminates the noise, mess, and weather-related delays typically associated with traditional building projects. Once manufactured, the modules are delivered to Torquay and lifted into position, significantly reducing the time spent on-site by contractors.
Typical Configurations and Layouts
The flexibility of the P600 system allows you to design a building that fits your specific site and requirements. Because the units are modular, they can be configured in various ways:
- Single Module (13m²): Ideal for a compact home office, a small treatment room, or a hobby space. This fits well into the smaller garden plots often found in central Torquay residential areas.
- Double Module (26m²): By joining two units side-by-side or end-to-end, you create a spacious environment suitable for a large home gym, a creative studio, or a lounge area.
- Multiple Modules (39m²+): For those with larger properties in areas like St Marychurch or Shiphay, four or more modules can be combined to form multi-room suites or guest annexes, complete with internal partitions.
Standard Specifications and Finishes
Every Adacon building is delivered with a comprehensive internal finish as standard. When we supply modular buildings in Torquay, the following features are included in the base price:
- Fully insulated walls, floor, and roof for year-round thermal efficiency.
- Plastered and painted internal walls and ceilings.
- Durable laminate flooring throughout.
- LED lighting and pre-installed electrical sockets.
- Double-glazed uPVC windows and high-security external doors.
- External cladding in a range of colours, which can be selected wall-by-wall to suit your garden's aesthetic.
Optional extras are also available, including internal WC and shower compartments, kitchenettes for self-contained units, and air conditioning units for climate control during the summer months.
Indicative Pricing for Torquay Homeowners
The cost of a garden room depends on the number of modules, the choice of cladding, and any internal customisation. For garden use, price bands typically range between £15,000 and £35,000. This provides a clear, transparent framework for budgeting compared to the unpredictable costs of traditional construction.

Delivery and Installation in Torquay
Logistics are a key consideration for any modular build in South Devon. Our buildings are transported via the M5 and A380 (South Devon Highway) before navigating local Torquay routes. We are experienced in managing the specific geographic challenges of the area, from the steep hills surrounding the harbour to the narrower residential lanes of the old town.
Delivery is quoted separately per project. The customer is responsible for ensuring a level, prepared base is ready before delivery, as well as managing final utility connections (electricity and drainage) via a local qualified tradesperson. In cases where access is restricted, such as terraced properties with no side access, a crane may be required to lift the modules over the main house. We recommend a site survey to identify any potential obstacles such as low-hanging trees or overhead cables.
Planning Permission and Building Regulations
Many garden rooms can be installed under Permitted Development rights, which may remove the need for a full planning application. However, this is subject to the size of the building, its height, and its position relative to your property boundaries. Rules can also differ if your home is a listed building or located within a conservation area, such as parts of the Lincombes. We always advise checking with Torbay Council or your local planning authority before proceeding with an order. Similarly, if the building is intended for permanent habitation, it must comply with relevant Building Regulations.
