If you want a garden office, summer house or full garden room in SE13, we deliver builds that feel like a natural extension of your home. We regularly work near Hither Green station and around Mountsfield Park, so we understand the layout of local plots and access routes. Whether you need a smart workspace or a family hangout, we tailor the structure to your garden’s proportions. Every project is planned for year-round use, not just summer weekends.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often have long, narrow gardens that benefit from well-positioned buildings and clever storage. We design workshops, sheds and log cabins to maximise usable floor area while keeping light to neighbouring windows in mind. For homes in Lee, Catford and Grove Park, we also account for shared side access and typical boundary lines. The result is a garden building that suits the property style and daily routines of a busy household.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a practical design proposal, then confirm foundations, drainage and electrics before build day. You’ll get a clear scope of works, staged payments and a schedule that respects neighbours and school-run traffic. Our team handles groundworks, insulation, doors/windows and finishes, with quality checks at each stage. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, clean working practices and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, gardens can vary from firm ground to areas needing extra sub-base and drainage control. Around SE13, access is often via side passages or through the house, so we plan deliveries, protection and waste removal carefully. Parking and permit rules can affect timing, especially near Hither Green station. We adapt foundations, building height and placement to suit local plot shapes and neighbouring boundaries.

Costs depend on size, insulation level and specification. In Hither Green, a basic shed or small workshop often starts around £1,500–£4,000, while a quality summer house is commonly £4,000–£10,000. Fully insulated garden rooms or offices with electrics, plasterboard and premium glazing typically range from £12,000–£35,000+. Ground conditions, access and bespoke joinery can move the figure up or down.
A small shed or pergola can be completed in 1–3 days, depending on groundwork. Summer houses and gazebos usually take 3–7 days. A fully insulated garden office or garden room commonly takes 2–4 weeks from base to final finishes, with lead times for windows/doors and electrics. Timescales vary with bespoke designs, poor ground requiring extra preparation, and restricted access typical of some SE13 plots.
Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, particularly single-storey structures used as incidental accommodation (like a home office or gym) and kept within height and boundary limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats, corner plots, and if you’re close to boundaries or want a veranda/balcony. We review your site, intended use and dimensions, then advise whether a Lewisham planning application or lawful development certificate is sensible.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden building installations, covering issues arising from installation defects such as structural fixing, weatherproofing details and base preparation. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like windows, doors, membranes and cladding systems. We also document the build specification so you know what’s included, and we’re available for aftercare advice on ventilation, coatings and seasonal maintenance.
You can choose from traditional timber cladding, contemporary composite finishes, or a mix with feature panels and large glazing. Popular options include cedar-style slats, painted shiplap, EPDM rubber roofs, aluminium bi-folds, and insulated SIP-style panels for high performance. We design workshops, log cabins, pergolas and gazebos to match your home’s character, then help you balance aesthetics, durability, maintenance and budget before ordering.
