Layouts We Build
A games room designed around how you actually play
Every layout starts with the table, the screen or the bar — and the building is engineered around it. No retro-fitted compromises.
Pool & Snooker Rooms
Reinforced floors and ceiling height planned around full 7ft pool tables, American pool or full-size snooker. Cue racks, scoreboards and over-table pendant lighting built in.
Home Cinema & Sports Bar
Acoustically lined walls, 65–85" TV mounts, projector drops, dimmable mood lighting and integrated speaker pre-wire so big games and movie nights look the part.
Gaming & Arcade Setups
Dedicated power runs, cooling and data points for retro arcade cabinets, VR rigs and console stations — without filling your house with screens and wires.
Bar, Darts & Hangouts
Bespoke bar counters, beer fridges, optic shelves, dartboard alcoves and lounge seating built into the layout from day one — not bolted on after.

Built right, the first time

Garden games room FAQs
How much does a garden games room cost?
Garden games rooms typically cost £24,000–£55,000 depending on size and fit-out. A 4m × 5m (20m²) games room with a bar, TV and pool table allowance starts around £26,000 fully fitted. Larger spaces with cinema, full bar and snooker tables typically land £40,000–£55,000.
Can a garden games room hold a full-size pool table?
Yes. A standard 7ft pool table needs roughly 4.3m × 3.4m of clear floor space (including cue swing). For 8ft American pool, allow 4.6m × 3.6m. We reinforce the floor structure during the build so a slate-bed table sits dead level for years.
Do I need planning permission for a garden games room?
Most garden games rooms fall under permitted development — single storey, under 2.5m high within 2m of a boundary, and ancillary to the main home. We run a full planning check on every site visit and handle the application if needed.
Are garden games rooms warm enough to use in winter?
Yes — every LouMil games room is fully insulated to current UK building standards with 100mm PIR insulation, double-glazed thermally-broken windows and a fitted electric heater. They stay warm in winter, cool in summer, and pull a fraction of the power of a heated extension.
How long does a garden games room take to build?
Most of the work happens off-site. Once your design is signed off and the base is ready, on-site installation typically takes 1–3 weeks depending on size and fit-out. Full timeline from first enquiry to handover is usually 6–10 weeks.
