What You Should Know Before You Decide?

Do I need planning permission for a garden sauna in the UK?

In many cases, a garden sauna can fall under permitted development rules (similar to other garden outbuildings), but it depends on your property and the exact placement. Factors can include the building’s height, distance to boundaries, and whether you’re in a conservation area or the property is listed.

We recommend confirming with your local planning authority. If you share your postcode and a rough idea of where the sauna would sit, we can help you understand what typically matters before you commit.

What base or foundation does a sauna need?

A sauna needs a stable, level base that supports the structure evenly and keeps doors and glazing aligned over time. Most customers choose a prepared base such as a concrete pad or paving/slab base, built to the correct footprint for the model.

What matters most is:

  • a truly level surface
  • good drainage around the base
  • the correct size for your sauna (S3 3.5×2.2 m, S2 3×3.4 m, S1 4.5×3.2 m)

If you share photos of the location and ground type, we can advise what approach is usually best.

What power supply is required (and who connects it)?

Most garden saunas use an electric sauna heater, which typically requires a dedicated electrical supply and correct protection (for example, RCD protection). Final connection should be completed by a qualified electrician in line with UK regulations.

Exact requirements vary based on heater specification, cable run distance, and your consumer unit capacity—so it’s best to confirm the electrical plan once you’ve selected your model and heater setup.

How long does it take to heat up and what affects running costs?

Heat‑up time and running costs depend on:

  • sauna size and heater power (kW)
  • insulation quality and outdoor temperature
  • how often the door is opened
  • your electricity tariff

As a practical guide, many electric saunas reach a comfortable temperature in around 30–60 minutes, with colder weather taking longer. Good insulation, correct ventilation and a consistent routine help keep performance steady and costs predictable.

Which type is right for me: Finnish, infrared, or steam?

Most garden sauna buyers choose traditional Finnish-style heat for the classic experience. If you prefer gentler sessions, infrared can be a good fit, while steam offers a more humid feel and requires the right equipment and setup.

If you tell us the kind of heat you enjoy, how many people will use the sauna, and how often you plan to run it, we’ll help you choose the best configuration for your space and goals.

How are delivery and installation handled (access, timing, aftercare)?

Delivery and installation depend mainly on site access—for example clear access width, narrow gates, steps, and the distance from the drop‑off point to the final location.

Once we understand access, we can confirm a realistic delivery approach and installation plan. We’ll also guide you on base readiness, electrics planning and basic aftercare so your sauna continues to look great and perform well.

What’s the difference between Nordic Heat S1, S2 and S3?

  • Nordic Heat S3 (3.5 × 2.2 m): compact footprint with a vestibule and metal roof—ideal when you want a changing area without needing a large garden.
  • Nordic Heat S2 (3 × 3.4 m): modern look with a glazed front and metal roof, balancing space and contemporary design.
  • Nordic Heat S1 (4.5 × 3.2 m): the largest option for a more spacious garden sauna feel, with a glazed front and a classic cabin silhouette.
