If you want more space without moving, a well-built garden structure can transform how you use your home in Dartford. We design and build garden offices, summer houses, garden rooms, sheds and workshops with year-round comfort in mind. Homeowners near Bluewater Shopping Centre and around DA1 and DA2 choose us for tidy sites, strong foundations and clean detailing. Every build is tailored to your plot, lifestyle and budget.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new developments means no two gardens are the same. We regularly work in Wilmington, Stone, Swanscombe and Greenhithe, where access, boundaries and levels can vary street by street. Whether you need a compact office at the end of a narrow terrace garden or a larger log cabin for a modern plot, we plan the footprint and finish to suit. Our recommendations balance aesthetics, insulation and long-term durability.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear specification, then we confirm base type, drainage and positioning. You’ll receive a written proposal, realistic programme and guidance on electrics, lighting and heating options. We build with quality timber, robust fixings and weatherproof detailing, keeping disruption low and leaving the garden clean. Local homeowners trust us because we communicate clearly, stick to agreed standards and stand behind our workmanship.
As garden building contractors in Dartford Borough, we plan around typical access constraints, shared driveways and on-street parking. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels, drainage and base requirements before work starts. We also factor in proximity to boundaries and neighbouring properties, which is common in Victorian and 1930s streets. Where needed, we can help with drawings and information to support any council queries.

Costs depend on size, insulation, glazing and the base. As a guide, a quality shed or small workshop often starts around £2,000–£5,000 installed. Insulated garden offices and garden rooms are commonly £8,000–£25,000+, especially with larger glazing, electrics and heating. Log cabins, gazebos, pergolas and summer houses vary widely, typically £3,000–£20,000+. A site visit lets us confirm access and groundworks.
Many smaller builds (sheds, pergolas, compact summer houses) can be completed in 1–3 days once materials are ready. Insulated garden rooms and offices typically take 1–3 weeks, depending on base curing time, internal lining, electrics coordination and finishes. Bespoke log cabins or larger workshops can take longer. Timescales are affected by access, weather, ground conditions, and whether you want extras such as decking, lighting or heating.
Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, particularly if they’re single-storey, within height limits and positioned appropriately within the garden. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats, maisonettes, or if you’re close to boundaries and want a taller structure. We’ll discuss your intended use (office, gym, storage) and check the key constraints for Dartford Borough. If planning is required, we can help you prepare the information needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for garden buildings we design and install, covering issues such as structural fixings, framing integrity and installation-related defects. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties, which vary by product (timber treatments, membranes, doors and glazing). We’ll explain what’s included in writing before work begins and how to maintain your building to keep it performing well through Dartford’s changing seasons.
We offer a wide range of styles, from contemporary garden rooms with clean lines to traditional summer houses and log cabins. Options include treated timber cladding, composite-style finishes, EPDM or felt roofing, double-glazed doors and windows, and insulated walls, floors and ceilings for year-round use. For outdoor structures, we build gazebos and pergolas in various timber profiles and roof styles. We’ll help you choose based on budget, maintenance preferences and how you’ll use the space.
