Victorian terraces dominate Thornton Heath's streets, often blessed with surprisingly generous rear gardens perfect for outdoor entertaining. Creating dedicated BBQ spaces in these plots requires understanding local drainage patterns and the clay-heavy soil that characterises much of CR7. Smart positioning away from boundary fences keeps neighbours happy while maximising your cooking and socialising space.
Stone-built BBQ islands integrate seamlessly with existing patios, incorporating storage cupboards beneath granite worktops. Gas lines run discreetly underground, terminating at professional-grade grills flanked by preparation areas. Weather-resistant electrical points power rotisseries and outdoor fridges, while carefully positioned lighting extends usability into autumn evenings. Pergolas or retractable awnings shield both chef and guests from unexpected showers.
Twenty years installing outdoor kitchens across South London means knowing exactly which materials withstand CR7's weather cycles. Local suppliers in Broad Green stock everything needed, keeping projects moving efficiently without lengthy waits.
