From Lordship Lane to the edges of Dulwich Park, homeowners in SE22 are making gardens work harder. Fine Landscaping designs and builds garden offices, summer houses, garden rooms, sheds, workshops, log cabins, gazebos and pergolas. Whether you want a quiet workspace or a social space for weekends, we tailor the build to your plot and lifestyle. Our team manages the full build so you get a seamless result, not a half-finished project.
East Dulwich’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often come with long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries. We’re used to working around side returns, limited access routes and existing patios and planting. If you’re near Peckham Rye or Dulwich Village, we can match materials and detailing to the character of your home. The aim is a garden building that looks considered, performs well year-round and adds value.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a practical design that considers insulation, electrics and drainage. You’ll receive a clear scope of works, staged schedule and straightforward options for finishes. We protect lawns and paths, keep the site tidy, and communicate daily so there are no surprises. Local clients choose us for reliable project management, high-end joinery and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
We know access can be tight around period terraces, especially where side passages are narrow or shared. Parking and deliveries near Lordship Lane can be tricky, so we plan drop-offs and waste removal to keep things moving. Ground conditions vary across Southwark, so we assess levels and drainage before choosing the right base (concrete slab, ground screws or pads). If permissions or constraints apply, our garden building contractors in London Borough of Southwark will guide you through the checks.

Costs depend on size, base type, insulation and the level of fit-out. As a guide, a quality shed or small workshop often starts from £2,500–£6,000. A fully insulated garden office or garden room typically ranges £12,000–£35,000+. Larger log cabins, premium cladding, bathrooms, bespoke glazing and electrics can take projects to £40,000–£70,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Typical builds take 2–6 weeks from breaking ground to completion, depending on complexity. A simple shed or pergola may be finished in a few days, while insulated garden rooms with electrics, plastering and bespoke joinery usually take 3–5 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, base curing time, weather, custom materials and any internal fit-out such as flooring, heating or built-in storage. We agree a schedule before work starts.
Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, but limits apply to height, placement, and how much of the garden is covered. Extra care is needed for listed buildings, flats/maisonettes, or if your property has restrictions. We’ll check the key rules for your site in the London Borough of Southwark and advise if a planning application or lawful development certificate is sensible. We also consider neighbour boundaries and any party wall implications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden building installations, covering issues caused by installation or construction defects. This includes the structure, fixings and key build elements completed by our team. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products such as doors, windows, membranes, cladding systems and electrical components. We also offer aftercare guidance for timber treatments, ventilation and seasonal movement so your building performs well long-term.
You can choose from treated timber, cedar, composite cladding, or painted board-and-batten finishes, with felt, EPDM or metal roofing. For garden offices and rooms we specify insulation, vapour control, double glazing and durable flooring options. Designs range from contemporary flat-roof rooms to traditional summer houses, plus pergolas and gazebos for dining areas. We’ll help you balance aesthetics, maintenance, budget and privacy, then tailor the layout to your garden and access.
