New Cross homeowners want garden buildings that feel like a real extension of the home, not a flimsy add-on. We build garden offices, summer houses, garden rooms, sheds, workshops, log cabins, gazebos and pergolas with careful detailing and weatherproof performance. Whether you’re near Goldsmiths University or walking distance to New Cross station, we’ll tailor the layout to your plot and daily routine. Our builds are designed to look right in SE14 gardens and last for years.
The New Cross area is packed with Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries. That means smart footprints, considerate neighbour-friendly work, and materials that complement period brickwork and mature planting. We regularly work across Deptford, Brockley and Nunhead, adapting designs for compact patios, raised levels and existing outbuildings. If access is tight, we plan deliveries and component sizes to avoid disruption.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, discuss use (work, gym, storage, entertaining) and confirm services such as electrics and drainage. You’ll receive a clear specification, build schedule and fixed-scope options so you can choose finishes with confidence. We protect lawns and paving, keep the site tidy, and communicate daily progress. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, full insurance, and a result that adds genuine value.
As garden building contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we plan around controlled parking, delivery slots and restricted access common near Deptford Park and Telegraph Hill. Many plots have mixed ground conditions and old patio bases, so we assess foundations carefully and recommend the right base system. We also factor in party walls, boundary lines and neighbour considerations typical of terraces and conversions. The result is a build that fits the site and avoids preventable delays.

Costs vary by size, insulation, glazing and services. As a guide, a quality shed or small workshop often starts around £2,000–£6,000. A well-finished summer house or gazebo is commonly £4,000–£12,000. Fully insulated garden offices or garden rooms with electrics and premium finishes typically range from £12,000–£35,000+. Access, groundwork and bespoke joinery can move the budget.
Most small sheds and pergolas take 1–3 days once materials are on site. Summer houses and medium garden rooms are usually 1–3 weeks, depending on base works, insulation and glazing. Larger log cabins or office builds can run 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access for deliveries, groundwork requirements, electrical fit-out, and any bespoke features such as bi-fold doors or built-in storage.
Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, particularly if they’re single-storey, within height limits and used as incidental accommodation. However, rules can change with listed buildings, conservation considerations, boundary proximity, or if you want plumbing and a more intensive use. We review your proposed size, position and intended use and can advise what’s likely to apply in Lewisham. If needed, we’ll help you prepare information for an application.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our garden building installations, covering issues arising from our construction and fitting. This includes key elements such as structural assembly, fixings, and weatherproofing details when maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties on materials (roofing systems, doors, windows, cladding treatments) are passed on where applicable. We also offer clear aftercare guidance to keep timber and finishes performing well.
We offer a wide range of styles, from contemporary garden offices with composite cladding to traditional timber summer houses and log cabins. Popular options include cedar or larch cladding, EPDM or felt roofing, double glazing, and insulated wall/roof/floor build-ups for year-round comfort. For outdoor structures, we build pergolas and gazebos in timber or painted finishes to match fencing and decking. We’ll help you choose materials based on maintenance, privacy, light and budget.
