If you want a garden office, summer house or a fully insulated garden room, we build it properly and make it look like it belongs. We work across CR0, CR2 and CR9, including South Croydon and Addiscombe. Many clients ask us to create quiet workspaces that still feel connected to the garden. We’re regularly on sites near East Croydon station and around the Whitgift Centre, so help is always close by.
Croydon’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments calls for flexible design and careful construction. A narrow side access in a terrace might suit modular delivery and tidy, staged builds, while a larger semi can take a wider footprint workshop or log cabin. We match rooflines, cladding and glazing to the property style, whether you’re in Shirley, Sanderstead or Waddon. The result is a building that adds usable space without compromising the garden.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear written specification, then we prepare the base, drainage and electrics before the main build. You’ll get practical guidance on insulation, ventilation and security so the space works year-round. We keep work areas clean, protect lawns and paving, and provide regular updates from start to sign-off. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful finishing, and a robust 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, we often deal with sloping gardens, mixed ground conditions and shared boundaries. Parking and access can be tricky around Broad Green and near Fairfield Halls, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design around existing patios, mature planting and drainage runs common in older streets. Where needed, we’ll advise on party wall considerations and practical neighbour-friendly build sequencing.

Costs vary by size, specification and whether you need insulation and electrics. As a guide, a quality shed or small workshop often starts around £1,500–£4,000. Summer houses and pergolas typically range from £3,000–£10,000 depending on materials. Fully insulated garden offices or garden rooms commonly fall between £12,000–£35,000+, with higher-end log cabins and bespoke glazing increasing the total.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks from groundworks to completion, depending on complexity. A simple pergola or gazebo can be finished in 1–3 days, while a garden office with insulation, electrics and internal finishes usually takes 7–15 working days. Timescales are affected by access, base curing time, weather, bespoke joinery, and any additional works such as drainage, lighting or new pathways.
Many garden buildings can be installed under permitted development, especially if they’re single-storey and within height and boundary limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, flats, or where previous extensions have used up allowances. We’ll check the key constraints for your address in the London Borough of Croydon and advise on what’s likely to be permitted. If an application is needed, we can help you prepare the information.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering structural build quality and installation standards when the building is used and maintained as advised. This includes the base preparation, framing, fixings and weatherproofing details we install. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items such as doors, windows, membranes and certain cladding systems. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and provide care guidance to keep everything performing well.
You can choose from timber, composite cladding, painted finishes, contemporary aluminium detailing, and traditional log-cabin styles. Popular options include insulated SIP-style panels, EPDM rubber roofs, cedar or larch cladding, and large sliding or bi-fold doors for garden rooms. We also build pergolas and gazebos in softwood or hardwood with optional screens and lighting. We’ll help you balance looks, durability, maintenance and budget for your Croydon home.
