Need extra space without moving? We design and build garden offices, summer houses, garden rooms and workshops that feel like a natural extension of your home in SE11. Projects around The Oval cricket ground and Kennington Park often call for smart layouts and tidy site management. Whether it’s a quiet office, a hobby shed or an entertaining gazebo, we tailor every build to the way you use your garden.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats bring a mix of compact plots and mature boundary planting. We’re used to side returns, narrow access routes and shared walls, and we plan builds that respect neighbours and period character. Timber cladding choices, rooflines and glazing proportions can be matched to traditional façades while still delivering modern comfort. If you’re in Kennington, Vauxhall or Stockwell, we’ll advise on what works best for your plot and lifestyle.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear drawings, followed by a fixed-scope schedule and transparent specification. We manage groundworks, bases, drainage considerations, electrics coordination and final fit-out so the build runs smoothly. Work areas are kept organised, with careful protection for existing paving and planting. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, high-end finishes and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As garden building contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we plan around controlled parking zones, delivery timings and tight access common near Oval tube station. Clay-heavy soils and mature tree roots can influence base design, so we specify the right foundation and drainage approach. We also consider sightlines from neighbouring terraces and mansion flats to keep structures discreet and compliant. Where required, we help prepare information for Lambeth’s planning process.

Costs vary by size, insulation level and fit-out. A basic shed or small summer house may start around £2,000–£6,000. A well-finished garden room or office with insulation, electrics and glazing is commonly £12,000–£35,000+. Larger log cabins, workshops or bespoke builds with bathrooms and premium cladding can reach £40,000–£80,000+. We provide a detailed specification so you can compare like-for-like.
A small shed or pergola can often be completed in 1–3 days, depending on groundworks. Most garden offices and insulated garden rooms take around 2–6 weeks from start on site, with the base, structure, doors/windows and internal finishes staged. Bespoke log cabins or complex workshops may take 6–10 weeks. Access constraints, utilities, bespoke joinery and weather can affect the programme.
Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, especially single-storey structures within height and boundary limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, flats, or where previous permissions restrict development. We’ll review your property type, proposed size and placement, then advise whether planning permission or a lawful development certificate is sensible. We also flag Building Regulations considerations for insulation, electrics and habitable use.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation on the garden building structure and associated construction elements we supply and fit. This includes issues such as fixings, alignment, and weatherproofing details when maintained as recommended. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like doors, glazing, membranes and cladding systems. We’ll explain what’s covered, what maintenance is required, and how to report any concerns promptly.
Popular choices include cedar or larch cladding, painted timber, composite boards, and contemporary aluminium-framed glazing. Roof options range from EPDM flat roofs to pitched roofs with tiles or metal sheets, depending on style and height limits. Internally, we can specify insulation, plasterboard, acoustic upgrades, storage and built-in desks for offices. We’ll guide you through samples, proportions and finishes to suit Oval’s period homes and your budget.
