I can't thank Kris, Andrew and their team enough for my garden room. What a lovely bunch of guys. Very professional, good communication and outstanding workmanship from start to finish. The build incorporated a hot tub for hydrotherapy with wheelchair access. We've started using it and it has been very successful and enjoyable. Access via the ramp is great. I just need to kit out my art room now. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aroha Escapes to my family or friends.

Over the moon with our new garden room. Thank you so much. From the moment we submitted an online enquiry Kris has been so professional, prompt, attentive and easy to deal with. We had a quote and pictures of what our room would look like within the week and the garden room was built within 10 days. Everyone we have dealt with from Aroha has been professional, friendly and have excellent attention to detail. If you are looking for a garden room this is definitely the company to go with.

After several consultations with Kris and Andrew our Aroha garden room was tailored to fit onto our converted garage to form a granny annex. There were some obstacles in our original design due to neighbouring garage firewalls etc but a solution was found that everyone was happy with. This is a great example though, that with some new builds there are often unforeseen problems but when you have good communication and a dedicated, skilled team of joiners around, then obstacles can be overcome and a solution found. My elderly parents are well settled in now and love the quality and the low maintenance finish of their garden room. Well done to all at Aroha and thank you!

Kris and his team listened to our requirements on a large estate and tailored the configuration to ensure it fitted the purpose. There were slight teething problems owing to the ground conditions but this was rectified immediately and Aroha have taken note for future builds. Good quality buildings with the added bonus of low maintenance.

Fantastic services from the team at Aroha, and we're delighted with our beautiful garden room and new garden layout! We were looking for our garden to be reconfigured to accommodate the garden room in the location we wanted, but were struggling to get landscape services so Aroha offered to discuss if they could help. Kris, Andrew and Eddie came out to suggest ideas of how we could maximise space, retain and reuse existing patio and materials, and minimise any increase to garden levels. Andrew provided some computer images within a couple of days to help us visualise.
From inception to completion we have been impressed with the management and delivery of the project. The teams building the room and landscaping were professional and efficient, and Kris was regularly on hand to discuss progress and check feedback. Overall completed within around 3 weeks for both room and garden and it looks brilliant!

We're very happy with the garden room Aroha built for us last year. The communication, the planning and the construction process were all flawless. Recently we needed them to come back and do a bit of minor snagging and again, they were prompt, professional and extremely competent. I'd highly recommend Kris and the team.

We chose Aroha for their modern, stylish and maintenance free garden rooms, plus they had been personally recommended to us. Being a detailed person, we were blown away by the time and attention Andrew gave us during the design and planning phase, supplying a set of 3d images from various angles and which included an artist easel. Aroha even brought the schedule forward with our agreement and it was so exciting watching every step of the build.
Even when they hit Wigtownshire bedrock, they were on the phone to their team to resolve the issue quickly. The final quality of the build is superb, all debris was removed from site and we couldn't be happier with the end product. A space to enjoy painting and hang a gallery of work to show visitors. Thankyou Team Aroha!

We asked Kris to build a garden room for us that we planned to use for a gym. From initial enquiry, site survey, installation and handover, everything went better than we could have asked for. The whole build was completed within the 2 weeks quoted. Kris and his team were punctual, polite and very tidy. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends or family.

Thoroughly recommend Kris and his great team to anyone considering a garden room. Nothing was too much trouble, even with a tiny disruption of materials due to the current conditions the guys went above and beyond to secure everything we wanted in a quick time and finished the room to a high standard and left the place clean and tidy. Thank you.
