Clapham gardens work hard, especially around Clapham Common and the busy streets near Clapham Junction station. We build garden offices, summer houses, garden rooms, sheds and workshops that feel like a natural extension of your home. Whether you’re in Clapham North or Clapham Old Town, we tailor the footprint, insulation and glazing to how you’ll use the space. Every build is planned for year-round comfort, not just fair-weather weekends.
Local properties range from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to modern apartments with compact outdoor areas. That mix calls for smart layouts, considerate boundaries and finishes that complement period brickwork or contemporary render. We’re used to tight side returns, shared access routes and gardens that need careful protection during works. If you want a log cabin gym, a workshop, or a quiet studio, we’ll make it fit the plot and the style of the house.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear specification, then we handle baseworks, structure, electrics coordination and final trim. You’ll get a written schedule, tidy working practices and straightforward communication throughout. We build to robust standards with proper foundations, ventilation and weatherproofing, so doors close true and finishes last. Homeowners choose us for reliable project management and craftsmanship that stands up to London use.
We regularly work across the garden building contractors Clapham area, where access can be tight and parking restrictions are common around SW4 and SW11. Ground conditions vary, so we specify the right base—concrete slab, ground screws or reinforced sub-base—based on drainage and load. We also factor in boundary lines, neighbour considerations and waste removal logistics. Where required, we align designs with expectations in the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth and keep paperwork clear.

Costs depend on size, insulation, electrics and finishes. As a guide, a quality shed or small workshop often starts from £1,500–£4,000. A well-built summer house or gazebo is commonly £4,000–£10,000. Fully insulated garden offices or garden rooms with electrics, heating readiness and premium glazing are typically £12,000–£35,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site survey.
Simple structures such as pergolas or small sheds can take 1–3 days once materials are on site. Summer houses and larger sheds are often 1–2 weeks including baseworks. Insulated garden rooms and offices typically take 2–6 weeks depending on size, specification, access and whether you’re adding plumbing, higher-end glazing or bespoke joinery. Lead times for doors, windows and cladding can also affect the overall programme.
Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, particularly if they’re single-storey, within height limits and positioned appropriately in the garden. However, rules can change for flats, listed buildings, conservation areas, or where previous extensions have used up allowances. We’ll review your property type and proposed location, then advise whether planning or building control input is needed. If required, we can help you prepare the information for submission.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the structural build, including the base, framing and installation. This covers defects arising from installation issues, such as movement caused by an inadequate base or water ingress due to incorrect detailing. Materials are also covered by their manufacturers’ warranties, which vary by product. We’ll explain what’s included for your chosen cladding, roofing and glazing at quotation stage.
We build in a range of styles, from contemporary garden rooms with anthracite glazing to traditional summer houses and log cabins. Popular choices include composite or timber cladding, EPDM or felt roofing, cedar detailing, and aluminium or uPVC doors. Internally, we can specify insulation, plasterboard finishes, acoustic upgrades and built-in storage. We’ll help you choose options that suit your budget, maintenance preferences and how you’ll use the space.
