Sydenham homeowners choose garden buildings to add usable space without moving. Whether you want a garden office for hybrid work or a summer house for entertaining, we design and build to fit your plot and lifestyle. We regularly work near Sydenham Wells Park and around SE26, where gardens vary from long, narrow plots to generous rear lawns. Every build is tailored for year-round comfort, security and a clean finish.
The Sydenham area has excellent period housing, from Victorian villas to Edwardian houses and well-planned conversions. These properties often need garden buildings that complement original brickwork, sash windows and mature planting. We match proportions, cladding and rooflines so your new garden room looks intentional, not bolted on. If you’re in Forest Hill or Lower Sydenham, we’ll also plan for shared boundaries, access routes and neighbours’ sightlines.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a practical design that considers insulation, electrics and drainage. We provide a clear scope of works, staged schedule and transparent options for upgrades such as heating, lighting and storage. Builds are managed by experienced trades, with tidy working practices and respectful neighbour liaison. Local homeowners trust us for consistent communication, reliable lead times and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often encounter clay-heavy ground, mature tree roots and tight side access, especially around Dulwich Wood edges. We specify suitable foundations, ventilation and damp protection to keep buildings stable and dry. Parking and delivery planning matters on residential streets, so we schedule drops and waste removal to minimise disruption. If you’re in Bell Green or Penge, we’ll also consider boundary lines and privacy screening from day one.

Costs vary by size, specification and fit-out. In SE26, a basic timber shed or small workshop often starts around £1,500–£4,000. A well-insulated garden office or garden room typically ranges from £12,000–£30,000+, depending on glazing, electrics, heating and finishes. Larger log cabins, bespoke pergolas or gazebos can be £5,000–£25,000+. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after a site survey.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are ready. A simple shed base and install may be completed in a few days, while insulated garden rooms with electrics, plastering and bespoke joinery take longer. Timescales depend on groundworks, access, weather, and whether you want plumbing, underfloor heating or extensive glazing. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, especially if they’re single-storey, within height limits and positioned appropriately in the garden. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats/maisonettes, conservation areas, or if you plan to use the space as independent accommodation. We check the key constraints for your property in the London Borough of Lewisham and advise whether you need planning approval or building regulations sign-off.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden building installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as fixings, framing alignment and weatherproofing details. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to materials like membranes, doors, windows and cladding finishes. We also explain maintenance requirements (for example, repainting or staining schedules) so your building stays protected. Any snagging items are handled promptly after completion.
We build in a range of styles, from contemporary garden rooms with composite cladding and aluminium glazing to traditional summer houses, log cabins and painted timber workshops. Roof options include EPDM, felt systems and tiled finishes, with choices for skylights and overhangs. Pergolas and gazebos can be timber or powder-coated metal, with slatted screens for privacy. We’ll guide you on durability, maintenance and aesthetics to suit your home and budget.
