Built to Last

At Redmire, we bring over 25 years of experience to the design and construction of wooden garages, timber carports, and carriage houses. Our commitment to using only the finest materials ensures that each structure is not only durable but also enhances the appearance and value of your property.

Timber Garages – Strong, Stylish & Made to Measure

We build our timber garages with traditional craftsmanship and premium materials, making them a practical and attractive addition to any home. Designed to withstand the test of time, a Redmire wooden garage provides secure, long-lasting storage while boosting the aesthetic appeal of your property.

Timber Carports – Practical Shelter with Timeless Style

Our wooden carports combine functionality with elegant design. Crafted using FSC-certified European softwood, each carport is pressure-treated for maximum longevity and built to suit your exact requirements. Inspired by the classic look of traditional carriage houses, our carports offer a simpler structural alternative while maintaining visual charm and durability.

Whether you need a single-bay or multi-bay carport, we tailor every build to suit your needs and site.

Carriage Houses – Traditional Form, Modern Function

Redmire’s carriage houses evoke timeless rural charm while delivering modern performance. These heritage-inspired structures are perfect for covered vehicle storage or open-plan utility space. Like all our timber buildings, we build to order and customise to blend seamlessly with your property.

Do I Need Planning Permission for a Wooden Garage or Timber Carport?

In most cases, timber garages and carports fall under permitted development rights, meaning you won’t need to apply for planning permission—as long as certain conditions are met:

  • The building must not be located forward of the main front wall of your house.
  • It must be single-storey with:
    • Maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres
    • Maximum overall height of 4 metres for a dual-pitched roof, or 3 metres for any other type of roof
  • If built within 2 metres of a boundary, the structure’s maximum height must not exceed 2.5 metres
  • No balconies, verandas, or raised platforms (platforms must not exceed 0.3 metres)
  • No more than 50% of the land surrounding the “original house”* may be covered by additions
  • In National Parks, AONBs, The Broads, and World Heritage Sites, outbuildings located more than 20 metres from the house are limited to 10 square metres
  • On designated land, any structure built at the side of the house requires planning permission
  • Listed buildings always require planning permission for any outbuilding

“Original house” refers to the house as it was first built, or as it stood on 1 July 1948 if it was built before that date. Previous extensions by former owners count towards development limits.
“Designated land” includes National Parks, the Broads, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, conservation areas, and World Heritage Sites.
