Those spacious Victorian and Edwardian plots scattered throughout SM5 practically beg for a dedicated grilling zone. Building a proper BBQ area transforms dead garden space into the heart of your outdoor living. From compact cooking corners for terraced properties near Carshalton Beeches to expansive outdoor kitchens for the larger homes around Carshalton Park, each project starts with understanding how you actually use your garden.
Creating the perfect BBQ space involves more than dropping a grill on some paving slabs. Proper drainage prevents water pooling around cooking areas, especially important given Carshalton's clay-heavy soil. Wind direction analysis ensures smoke won't drift straight into your conservatory or neighbour's windows. Integration with existing patios, consideration of utility connections, and selecting materials that complement your property's character – these details separate amateur attempts from professional installations.
Twenty years working across Wallington, Sutton and Hackbridge means knowing which suppliers stock quality materials locally. Long-standing relationships with Carshalton homeowners have built a reputation based on craftsmanship, not marketing promises.

Absolutely – from the conservation areas near Carshalton Village through to newer developments towards Hackbridge station. Every SM5 postcode falls within our regular working area, including those tricky access properties near the ponds.
Smaller BBQ zones take roughly 5-7 working days from breaking ground. More elaborate outdoor kitchens with gas connections and extensive groundwork typically need 2-3 weeks, weather permitting.
All structural elements carry a decade-long guarantee covering both materials and installation. This includes paving settlement, wall stability, and any integrated features like storage units or prep surfaces.
Most patios can be modified or extended to accommodate cooking zones. Sometimes lifting a few slabs creates space for utilities, while other projects benefit from seamless extensions that look original to the property.
