Crystal Palace homeowners often want a garden building that adds usable space without compromising the character of the plot. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Anerley, we design and build structures that look right from day one. From insulated garden offices to statement pergolas, we focus on clean lines, durable materials and practical layouts. Your new building is planned around light, privacy and how you actually live.
The Crystal Palace area is known for Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, and each brings its own constraints. Narrow side access, mature planting and level changes are common around Upper Norwood and Gipsy Hill. We take accurate site measurements, check boundaries, and plan foundations that suit the ground and drainage. The result is a building that sits properly, opens smoothly, and stays solid through British winters.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, design options and specification, then a scheduled build with clear milestones. We manage bases, framing, insulation, electrics coordination, cladding, roofing and finishing details so nothing is left to chance. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, protect existing paving and planting, and leave the garden clean at the end of each day. Every build is backed by a 10-year warranty for long-term confidence.
Across SE19 and SE20, gardens can be elevated, sloping and bordered by mature trees, which affects bases and drainage. We plan deliveries and waste removal around restricted parking and narrow roads, and we’re used to working carefully on period properties. If your address falls under Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark or Lewisham, we’ll tailor the specification and paperwork checks to the relevant council guidance. Our team is based just 15 minutes away, so support and follow-ups are quick.

Costs vary by size, insulation level and finish. As a guide, a basic shed or workshop may start around £1,500–£4,000, while a higher-spec summer house is often £4,000–£10,000. Fully insulated garden rooms or offices with premium cladding and electrics allowance typically fall in the £10,000–£30,000+ range. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Many smaller structures such as sheds, pergolas or gazebos can be completed in 1–3 days once the base is ready. A typical insulated garden office or room often takes 1–3 weeks, depending on groundwork, access and the level of internal finishing. Bespoke log cabins and larger workshops may take longer. Timescales are affected by foundations, drainage, electrics coordination and material lead times.
Many garden buildings are allowed under permitted development, provided they meet limits on height, placement and how much of the garden is covered. However, rules can change for flats, maisonettes, listed buildings and some conservation areas, and boundary proximity can matter. We review your site details, measure heights accurately and flag any risks early. If permission or a lawful development certificate is sensible, we’ll guide you through it.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity for the garden building we construct. This includes key elements such as framing, fixings, base installation (where supplied), cladding fit and weatherproofing details. Manufacturer warranties on specific products (for example roofing membranes, doors or windows) also apply where relevant. We’ll explain what’s covered and how to maintain finishes for the longest lifespan.
You can choose from contemporary garden rooms, traditional summer houses, practical workshops, log cabins, gazebos and pergolas. Popular finishes include cedar or larch cladding, composite boards for low maintenance, EPDM or felt roofing, and aluminium or timber doors and windows. We’ll help you balance budget, insulation needs and planning considerations, then tailor the layout for storage, desks, glazing and shading to suit your garden.
