Picture this: Sunday afternoons grilling in your own Wandsworth garden, smoke drifting over the rooftops towards Wandsworth Common. Creating that perfect outdoor cooking spot requires more than just plonking down a barbecue – it's about crafting a space that works with your lifestyle.

Wandsworth gardens present unique opportunities for outdoor entertaining. Those Victorian terraces around Earlsfield often surprise with their generous rear plots, whilst the newer builds near Southfields Station typically need clever design to maximise every square metre. Local planning considerations matter too – smoke management becomes crucial when your neighbours' windows are just a fence panel away.
Building materials make all the difference in SW18's variable weather. York stone withstands the dampness rolling off the Thames far better than cheaper alternatives. Proper drainage channels prevent that frustrating pooling you get during autumn downpours. Strategic windbreaks shield your cooking area from those gusty days when the breeze whips across from Battersea.
Twenty years working across Wandsworth means knowing which suppliers stock quality materials locally. Relationships with merchants from Trinity Road to Garratt Lane ensure competitive pricing without compromising build quality.

Basic installations using reclaimed London brick start around £2,800, whilst comprehensive outdoor kitchens with granite worktops and integrated storage can reach £15,000. Most SW18 homeowners opt for mid-range designs between £5,000-£8,000.
Absolutely – from the riverside properties near Wandsworth Bridge through to the leafy streets bordering Wimbledon Common. Regular projects in Southfields, Earlsfield and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Straightforward patio extensions with built-in grills typically complete within 8-10 days. More elaborate designs incorporating pizza ovens or smokers usually require 3-4 weeks from groundworks to first cook-up.
Every BBQ area carries decade-long protection against structural issues. This covers foundations, brickwork integrity, and all fixed installations – essentially everything except the removable grill components.
Definitely worth considering given our unpredictable weather. Lockable cabinets beneath work surfaces keep charcoal dry and tools secure. Cedar-lined compartments work brilliantly for wood storage, naturally repelling insects whilst adding that lovely aroma.
