FAQs


Have questions? From planning to plug-in, our FAQs cover the essentials you need to move forward with confidence.

  • Every BERTS is crafted in the UK using reclaimed materials, including ancient oak, weathered millboard and steamed cork—materials chosen not just for performance, but for character.

    We blend modern off-site construction with soulful, storied materials. No two BERTS are the same—each one is designed to feel unique, timeless and entirely your own.

  • Each BERTS building  is designed in-house by our experienced architects and interior designers.

    We’ll guide you through every detail—from materials and layouts to foundations and finishes—ensuring the end result feels true to you and your site. Want to take the next step? Book a design consultation by completing the Enquiry Form above.

  • BERTS are built off-site in our British workshop, then delivered to your location in 1–4 pieces and installed within 1–5 days.

    We require a minimum access width of 3.5m for our delivery vehicles. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to advise on access and delivery requirements.

  • Yes—we take care of it all. Everything is delivered and installed by expert partners using specialist equipment to place it precisely where it belongs.

    Most installs take just 1-5 days, sometimes a matter of hours. To help us assess your site, please share your what3words address and flag any access issues such as narrow lanes, overhanging trees or power lines.

  • Typically No, our larger retreats meet the criteria of the Caravan Act, meaning planning permission isn’t required when sited within the garden of your home for personal use.

    We recommend applying for a Certificate of Lawfulness, and we can guide you through that process. Our smaller models, like the Sauna and Study, can be built to comply with UK garden room regulations and therefore don’t need any planning applications at all.
    Download our planning guide here for further information.

  • BERTS retreats are delivered ready to connect to your existing services. All you need is a domestic power supply, a cold water feed and a soil connection to mains drainage or a biodigester.

    We’ll supply detailed drawings to guide your groundworks team and ensure everything is ready on arrival.

  • We use ground screws from The Great British Ground Screw Company—quicker to install, easier on the land and significantly lower in carbon footprint than concrete.

    Installation typically takes just 1-5 days dependent on cabin type/size. If your site includes rock or made-up ground, we’ll design an alternative. Not sure what’s suitable? We can arrange a pre-survey to assess your site.

  • They are built above and beyond New Build Regulations ( they will last as long as any traditional house ) our cabins will last a lifetime, no different to a permanent building, arguably better due to the precision that comes with building in a factory.
