Richmond homeowners often want extra space without compromising their garden, whether that’s a quiet garden office for hybrid working or a summer house for entertaining. We build high-quality garden rooms, workshops, sheds, pergolas and gazebos with a finish that suits the area’s character. Projects are regularly completed around Richmond Green and close to Richmond Bridge, where access and neighbours need careful consideration. Every build is tailored to your plot, light levels and intended use.
The Richmond area features Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties, each with different constraints and expectations. We’re used to working with mature gardens, tight side access and period details that deserve a sympathetic design. In TW9 and TW10, clients often request discreet buildings that sit comfortably behind traditional brickwork and heritage planting. We’ll advise on proportions, cladding and rooflines so the new structure looks like it belongs.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear proposal covering specification, groundwork and finishes. We handle bases, insulation, electrics coordination and drainage considerations, then complete the build with meticulous detailing. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, keep sites safe and tidy, and stick to agreed milestones. Your project is backed by robust guarantees and aftercare, with a team that can reach Richmond in around 40 minutes from our Norbury base.
We understand the practicalities of building in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, including parking constraints, neighbour considerations and careful material choices near established streets. Around Kew, Ham and Petersham, gardens can be mature with roots and drainage routes that need protection during groundwork. We plan deliveries, waste removal and access so disruption is minimised. Where needed, we can help you navigate local requirements before work begins.

Costs vary by size, insulation, glazing and the type of building. As a guide, a small shed or basic workshop might start from £2,000–£6,000, while a well-insulated garden office or garden room commonly falls between £12,000–£35,000+. Larger log cabins, premium glazing, bathrooms, or complex groundworks can push budgets to £40,000–£70,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised specification after a site visit.
Many projects take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are ready, with larger or more complex builds taking 4–8 weeks. Timescales depend on base construction, access for deliveries, weather, and the level of fit-out (insulation, electrics, heating, plastering and flooring). If you’re near busy routes by Richmond Park or have restricted access, we’ll plan shorter delivery windows and a practical programme to keep the build moving.
Many garden buildings can be installed under permitted development, particularly if they’re single-storey, within height limits and used as ancillary space. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, flats/maisonettes, or where you need a bathroom or sleeping accommodation. We’ll review your site, intended use and placement, then advise whether planning permission or a lawful development certificate is sensible. We can also help with drawings and supporting information if required.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the structural integrity of the build, subject to our terms and normal maintenance. This includes key construction elements such as framing, fixings, weatherproofing details and the installed base (where supplied by us). Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items like doors, glazing, membranes and cladding products. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and provide care guidance to keep everything performing well.
You can choose from contemporary garden rooms with composite or timber cladding, traditional summer houses, robust workshops, log cabins, and open structures such as pergolas and gazebos. Popular options include cedar, larch, composite boards, EPDM or felt roofs, aluminium or timber bifolds, and double or triple glazing. We’ll help you select insulation levels, ventilation, lighting and finishes based on how you’ll use the space and how it should complement your Richmond property.
