Herne Hill homeowners use their gardens hard—especially near Brockwell Park and the Sunday market, where space at home is at a premium. We build garden offices, summer houses, garden rooms, sheds and workshops that look right with period properties and perform year-round. Whether you’re in SE24 near Herne Hill station or closer to Dulwich, we plan the build around access, neighbours and how you’ll use the space. Expect a tidy site, clear timelines and a finish that feels like part of the garden.
The local housing mix—Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions—often comes with narrow side returns and shared boundaries. Our garden building contractors Herne Hill area team designs structures that maximise usable internal space without overwhelming smaller plots. We regularly work around mature planting, existing patios and level changes common in Lambeth/Southwark gardens. The result is a building that complements original brickwork and traditional layouts while adding modern comfort.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a practical design proposal, then confirm foundations, drainage and build specification before work begins. You’ll get transparent options on insulation, glazing, cladding and security, plus advice on positioning for light and privacy. Our team coordinates deliveries, keeps disruption down and leaves the garden clean at handover. Local clients choose us for dependable workmanship, clear communication and a 10-year warranty on our builds.
Access in Herne Hill can be restricted by narrow alleys, steps and shared side passages, so we plan delivery sizes and build methods accordingly. We’re used to parking constraints around Herne Hill station and busy weekend footfall near Brockwell Park, which helps us schedule efficiently. Ground conditions vary, so we assess levels and drainage before selecting a base. We also consider boundary lines and overlooking typical of Victorian and Edwardian plots in Lambeth/Southwark.

Costs vary by size, insulation and specification. As a guide, a quality shed or small workshop often starts from £2,500–£6,000. Summer houses and pergolas commonly fall around £5,000–£12,000 depending on joinery and roofing. Fully insulated garden offices or garden rooms are typically £12,000–£35,000+, with higher budgets for larger footprints, premium glazing, electrics, and bespoke finishes.
Most builds take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and specification are agreed. Smaller sheds, pergolas and gazebos can be completed in a few days, while insulated garden offices, log cabins and larger garden rooms may take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on base preparation, access in SE24 terraces, weather, bespoke joinery, and whether you need electrics, heating, or extra soundproofing.
Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, especially if they’re within height limits and positioned appropriately within the plot. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats/period conversions, conservation areas, or if you’re close to boundaries. We check the basics during the survey and can advise what to confirm with Lambeth or Southwark. If permission is required, we’ll help you prepare the information needed for an application.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our garden building workmanship, covering structural integrity and installation-related issues when the building is used and maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items such as membranes, doors, windows and roofing products, and we’ll pass those details on at handover. We also provide clear aftercare guidance for timber treatments, ventilation and drainage to keep everything performing well long-term.
We offer contemporary and traditional designs, including cedar or composite cladding, painted timber, and log-cabin styles. Roofing can be EPDM, felt, shingles or metal, with options for skylights and deep overhangs. For garden offices and rooms, we can specify high-performance insulation, double or triple glazing, acoustic upgrades and secure doors. We’ll recommend finishes that suit Herne Hill’s period homes and your maintenance preferences.
