Brockley homeowners often want more usable space without moving, and a well-built garden structure is a smart way to get it. We design and construct garden offices, summer houses, workshops and pergolas that feel like a natural extension of your home. Whether you’re near Brockley Market or walking distance from Hilly Fields, we tailor every build to your plot, access and daily routine. The result is a building that looks right in the garden and performs year-round.
The Brockley area has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, each with different garden proportions and boundary constraints. In SE4, side access can be narrow and rear gardens may require careful material handling and considerate working hours. We regularly work across Honor Oak, Crofton Park and Ladywell, so we’re used to typical layouts, neighbouring sightlines and the need for discreet, high-quality finishes. Your new garden room or cabin is designed to complement period brickwork and established planting.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear proposal covering specification, electrics, insulation and finishes. We manage groundwork, bases, drainage considerations and the full build, keeping the site organised and safe. You’ll get straightforward communication, staged sign-offs and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium materials and a build that stays solid through British weather.
As garden building contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we plan around Brockley’s parking controls, delivery access and narrow side returns. Ground conditions vary, so we assess levels, drainage and tree roots before specifying the right base. We also consider overlooking from neighbouring terraces and propose glazing, screening or orientation changes. From New Cross to Crofton Park, we build with minimal disruption and a clean handover.

Costs vary by size, insulation and fit-out. In Brockley, a basic timber shed or small summer house may start around £2,000–£6,000. A well-insulated garden office or garden room with electrics and plasterboard typically falls in the £10,000–£25,000 range. Larger log cabins, workshops or bespoke gazebos/pergolas can be £8,000–£35,000+. Groundworks, access and finishes are the main price drivers.
A simple shed or pergola can often be completed in 1–3 days once materials are ready. A typical insulated garden office or garden room usually takes 2–4 weeks including base preparation, construction, electrics and internal finishes. Larger log cabins or complex designs may take 4–8 weeks. Timescales depend on access in SE4, weather, bespoke joinery lead times and whether you want heating, bathrooms or extensive glazing.
Many garden buildings are allowed under permitted development, especially if they’re single-storey, within height limits and used as incidental accommodation (not a separate dwelling). However, rules can change depending on proximity to boundaries, listed buildings, conservation considerations and how you intend to use the space. We check the key constraints for your Brockley property and can advise on drawings and applications if permission is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for garden buildings, covering structural build quality, fixings and installation-related issues. This includes problems caused by poor construction such as movement from an inadequate base, faulty assembly or water ingress due to incorrect detailing. Manufacturer warranties on cladding, roofing membranes, doors and windows also apply where relevant. We’ll explain what’s covered and how to maintain your building for long life.
You can choose from pressure-treated timber, composite cladding, cedar-style finishes, and painted exterior boards in heritage colours that suit Brockley’s period homes. Roofing options include EPDM rubber, felt systems, or tiled finishes for a more architectural look. For garden offices, we can specify insulation, double glazing, skylights and integrated storage. We guide you through layouts, door positions and glazing to balance privacy, light and garden views.
