As standard, all our SIP extensions and garden room builds are finished with high-quality, naturally insulating structurally insulated panels (SIPs).
Our SIP panels are used throughout your walls, flooring and roof, creating an airtight and insulated structure, which can be used all year-round. They’re far mote energy-efficient than traditional builds, helping your extension or garden room stay warm in winter and cool in summer.
With SIPs, you’ll get a custom garden building that’s stronger, warmer and more efficient from day one.
100m SIPs as Standard
All our SIP extensions and garden rooms are built using 100mm SIP panels as standard. This thickness provides an excellent balance of strength and insulation.
This means lower heating costs and better temperature control in a garden structure that is looks like a true extension of your home, not just an outdoor shed or workspace.
Our 100mm SIPs deliver reliable performance from day one, making them the ideal foundation for a high-quality, energy-efficient build.
Upgrade to 150mm SIP Panels
For even higher performance, we offer an upgrade to 150mm SIP panels. These thicker structurally insulated panels provide noticeably improved insulation and soundproofing benefits.
These panels are suited to more functional builds, which are going to be used heavily in the winter (like with garden annexes and offices). Or in instances where you want extra sound reduction like with music rooms or man caves.
Upgrading to 150mm SIPs means your garden room or extension will be able to hold heat for longer, stay cooler on hot days and feel ever more like part of your home main home – all while keeping energy cots down.
SIP Panelling FAQs
SIP panels (Structurally Insulated Panels) are strong, insulated building panels used to create the walls, floor and roof of our garden rooms and extensions.
They offer excellent thermal performance, quick installation and a clean, solid finish. This makes them perfect for comfortable, long-lasting spaces.
100mm SIPs come as standard and offer great thermal performance for most garden room and extension uses.
150mm SIPs provide even better insulation and sound reduction, making them ideal if you want the highest comfort levels or plan to use the space heavily through the colder months.
Using SIP panels, we can build and furnish your garden rooms and SIP extensions in just under 2 weeks.
Most garden rooms can be installed within a few days once the base is ready. Using SIPs for an extension is also faster than traditional constructions.
You can, but not directly onto a SIP roof.
If you’d like skylights or a roof lantern on your build, we simply install an insulated timber roof (or upgrade to an EPDM rubber roof), allowing us to fit your chosen glazing safely and securely.
Absolutely, you can choose layouts, cladding styles, finishes, glazing options and internal features to create a space that suits your home and how you plan to use it.
Any garden building will require a foundation. We can build on a concrete base, ground screws or another suitable foundation depending on your site.
We can guide you on the best option to ensure a stable, lasting structure.

Tom and Bobby turned up on time, grafted all day and cleaned up afterwards. If your after a Garden Room to store the kids in? then GreenLeaf Garden Buildings are one to callPosted on Johnnie FiveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely team to liaise with from beginning to end. Swift work and lovely finish.Posted on Andy GambleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial quote right through to completion of our single storey SIP extension, we were in safe hands. We were surprised by how fast everything was! Dan will go above and beyond to make sure that the customer is happy - he will suggest ideas, and alternatives, but will ultimately do whatever you ask for. He will answer all your questions. The team that did the build were a friendly crew; the office team were always patient and helpful when I asked for updates. We are very happy with our extension and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company.Posted on Dave HallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were impressed with Greenleaf. They were really helpful from the initial enquiry through to subsequent queries when we were finalising the design. The installers were a professional bunch as well and were good to work with. We’re very happy with the end result.Posted on Aidan StanwayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! Don't believe a word that comes out of this con mans mouth, he'll offer you the world and promise everything and screw you over at the first chance with absolute rubbish, we had a garden room built (if you can call it that) which he said it was a summer house, we had to have another company come in to sort a lot of very sub par work from these cowboys. We took him to court and won but because of the con man way he liquidated his company owing us and many suppliers a lot of money only to start trading the very next day, I'm sure he's done this before and he'll only do it again at other peoples cost. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!Posted on Emma CarterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A superb experience from start to finish. Our extension was built exactly to our requirements. We had lots of questions and these were all answered quickly and professionally. Despite the weather not always being on our side, the build was completed within the week’s quoted time frame and completed to the highest of standards. All of the staff were professional and efficient throughout. Lots of people have commented on how good the extension looks! We would whole-heartedly recommend this company.Posted on freemomTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan and his building team were fantastic. Could't believe they built my 5x3m garden house just in a few days. They had long drive to my place but still popped up in the early morning. They were professional and with good workmanship. The communication within the company was so good that they didn't make any mistake throughout the whole process. They could build exactly what I wanted. We were so happy for making the right choice. Can't recommend the team enough!Posted on J MMTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our build has been a massive investment for me to contemplate and I wanted to be 100% sure that they would provide the best for us - & they did ... I'm surprised they didn't turn down the job as I had a 1000 questions, before even starting ... But I honestly can not recommend the whole team enough! They have all been fantastic, they are friendly & approachable, give honest opinions but ultimately make sure that you are happy with the build, from start to finish, they have gone above and beyond. It is clear that they all take pride in what they do. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Dan and your team.Posted on Robert ChesnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant quality garden room. Looks great!
