Frequently Asked Questions


Q: Can we have a tree house when we haven’t got a large tree?
A. Yes. We can use discreet support legs, and can build around smaller trees.

Q: Do you need planning permission?
A: This is a grey area, but there are certain stipulations:

• Roof ridge to be no higher than 4 metres
• Use for domestic purposes
• 20 metres away from any highway
• Smaller tree houses are usually classed as temporary structures and do not require planning.

We would be happy to discuss this issue further, but if you are in any doubt, we recommend that you contact your local planning office. Neighbours are often the greatest consideration that you have to take.

Q: How long will it take to build?
A: On average, between 2-4 weeks

Q: Can we build the project in stages?
A: Yes – you could build a house/den, balcony, and access in one stage, then a rope bridge, platform and zip wire at another stage.

Q: What is it going to cost?
A: Nothing for a site visit – we come and discuss your site and ideas free of charge.
Prices vary as each project is bespoke, but as a guideline it could cost from £12,000 - £15,000 for a children's enclosed tree house. Alternatively, a covered platform with accessories (e.g.ladder, button swing, rope ladder) could be from around £6,000.

There is a charge of £175 including VAT for putting together illustrations, plans and detailed costings.

This fee is refundable against the final invoice for a project should you decide to go ahead.
