Those sloping gardens typical of SE23 actually create perfect opportunities for split-level BBQ zones. Victorian terraces along Perry Vale and modern developments near Horniman Gardens each bring unique possibilities. Working with everything from compact courtyards to those surprisingly generous plots backing onto railway embankments, every design respects both your cooking ambitions and the character of Forest Hill.
Material selection matters when British weather meets barbecue season. Natural stone from local suppliers withstands decades of use, while engineered surfaces handle hot coals without complaint. Built-in storage keeps charcoal dry through winter months. Smart drainage prevents puddles forming where chefs stand, because nobody wants soggy socks whilst flipping burgers.
Twenty years installing outdoor kitchens across South London means knowing which designs actually get used year-round. Local knowledge counts - understanding sun patterns across Forest Hill's hills, working with conservation area guidelines where needed.

Basic built-in setups start around £3,500, whilst comprehensive outdoor kitchens with pizza ovens and prep zones typically run £8,000-15,000. Mid-range installations averaging £6,000 remain most popular across Forest Hill.
Absolutely - from the Horniman Museum grounds right through to South Circular properties. Regular projects in Perry Vale, Dartmouth Road, and the conservation areas near Forest Hill station.
Straightforward BBQ areas take 5-7 working days once materials arrive. Complex outdoor kitchens with utilities need 2-3 weeks. Weather permitting, naturally!
Everything structural carries our decade-long guarantee. That covers frost damage, settlement issues, mortar failure - basically anything except meteor strikes. Annual check-ups included for the first two years.
Dual-fuel designs work brilliantly - gas for Tuesday night convenience, charcoal for weekend flavour. Many Forest Hill clients opt for this flexibility, with separate zones preventing any taste transfer between fuel types.
