Picture hosting summer gatherings in your SW15 garden, smoke rising from a custom-built BBQ area while friends relax nearby. Those tight Putney terraces and sloping gardens near the Common deserve clever outdoor cooking solutions that maximise every square metre.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces throughout Putney often feature narrow gardens that seem unsuitable for proper outdoor cooking setups. Yet with thoughtful planning around existing mature trees and period features, even the most compact SW15 plot can accommodate a sophisticated BBQ zone. Local residents frequently discover their gardens hold more potential than expected, especially when incorporating smart storage beneath cooking surfaces.
Weather-resistant materials matter particularly near Putney Heath where exposure creates specific challenges. Granite worktops withstand both winter frost and summer heat cycles, whilst cedar pergolas age beautifully alongside traditional London brick. Integrated lighting extends usage well into autumn evenings, and proper drainage prevents that persistent London dampness from affecting foundations. Built-in seating maximises limited space whilst creating natural conversation areas.
Twenty years working across Putney means understanding which materials truly last in SW15's microclimate. Rather than importing generic designs, each BBQ area reflects its specific setting - whether that's a contemporary cube complementing Roehampton's modern developments or rustic stonework echoing Barnes' village character.

Absolutely - from riverside properties near Putney Bridge through to homes backing onto Richmond Park. Regular projects span Putney Heath, West Putney and the conservation areas around Roehampton Lane.
Simple installations complete within 5-7 working days. More elaborate designs incorporating plumbing or electrical work typically need 2-3 weeks, weather permitting.
Every installation carries decade-long structural coverage. This protects against foundation movement, material defects and workmanship issues - essential given London's clay soil movement.
Most Putney patios suit retrofitting, though older surfaces may need reinforcement. Freestanding units offer flexibility without major groundwork, particularly useful for listed properties common near Putney Common.
