Picture summer evenings grilling in your own Battersea garden, the Thames breeze carrying laughter and the scent of barbecued food. Those compact SW11 gardens hide surprising potential for outdoor cooking spaces that rival any restaurant terrace.
Response within 24 hours
Battersea's mix of period properties and modern developments creates unique opportunities for BBQ installations. Victorian terraces with their narrow but deep gardens suit linear cooking stations, while the generous balconies of riverside apartments cry out for compact grilling setups. Between Clapham Junction's bustle and Nine Elms' towers, homeowners are discovering how proper BBQ areas transform urban outdoor living.
Installation starts with understanding your garden's quirks - that awkward corner where next door's extension creates shade, or the spot where prevailing winds won't smoke out the neighbours. Materials matter here: weatherproof porcelain that handles British summers, stainless steel that won't rust after one wet weekend, proper extraction if you're close to other properties. Every BBQ area gets drainage consideration because nobody wants standing water where they're cooking.

Absolutely - from Battersea Park's mansion blocks to Queenstown Road's conversions, throughout SW11. Regular projects in Nine Elms' new builds, Clapham Junction's terraces, and even Chelsea's border properties.
Basic installations complete within 5-7 days once materials arrive. Complex builds with utilities and landscaping typically need 2-3 weeks start to finish.
Each installation carries decade-long protection covering all structural work, waterproofing, and built-in appliances we supply. Annual check-ups included for the first two years.
Definitely - many Battersea gardens already have lovely patios that just need clever integration. We'll match existing materials, add utility connections discretely, and ensure the cooking area feels part of the original design.
