Streatham's mix of period properties and newer developments each bring unique opportunities for outdoor cooking spaces. Those narrow Victorian terraces near the High Road? Perfect candidates for clever corner installations. Meanwhile, the larger plots around Streatham Common practically beg for full outdoor kitchens with pizza ovens and smokers.
Building regulations in Lambeth mean proper foundations and safe gas connections matter as much as aesthetics. Weather-resistant materials stand up to those sudden SW16 downpours, while thoughtful positioning keeps smoke away from your neighbour's washing line. Smart drainage prevents standing water – crucial given the clay soil common across SW2 gardens.
Twenty years fitting BBQ areas between Furzedown's family homes and Streatham Hill's sloped gardens teaches you what works. Local knowledge beats generic solutions every time.

Basic brick-built BBQ setups start around £2,500, while comprehensive outdoor kitchens with granite worktops and storage run £8,000-£15,000. Most SW16 homeowners opt for mid-range solutions around £4,000-£6,000.
Absolutely – from the bustling stretch near Streatham station through to the quieter roads bordering Tooting Bec Common. Regular projects across SW16 and SW2, including Streatham Vale and the conservation areas.
Simple installations take 3-5 days, weather permitting. Elaborate setups with plumbing and electrics might need two weeks. Planning starts immediately after your initial consultation.
Each installation carries decade-long coverage against structural issues. This includes foundations, brickwork, and any fitted components – basically everything except the actual grill units you purchase separately.
Definitely. Whether it's matching your existing Indian sandstone or working around established planting, integration looks better than starting from scratch. Many Streatham gardens already have lovely features worth preserving.
