Upper Norwood’s hilltop setting can mean uneven ground, tight side access and limited on-street parking. We plan deliveries, waste removal and build sequencing to suit SE19 restrictions and neighbour considerations. Where gardens fall away, we specify the right sub-base, drainage and retaining details to keep structures stable. As garden building contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we also factor in local planning guidance and conservation sensitivities where relevant.

Costs vary by size, insulation level and specification. As a guide, a quality shed or workshop often starts from £1,500–£4,000, while summer houses and gazebos are commonly £4,000–£10,000. Fully insulated garden offices or garden rooms with electrics and high-performance glazing are typically £12,000–£35,000+. Ground conditions, access and bespoke joinery can increase budgets.
A small shed or simple pergola can be completed in 1–3 days. Most summer houses, workshops and mid-sized garden rooms take around 1–3 weeks, depending on foundations, insulation, glazing and internal finishes. Larger log cabins or fully fitted garden offices may take 3–6 weeks. Lead time for bespoke doors, windows and electrics scheduling can also affect the programme.
Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, especially if they’re single-storey, within height limits and positioned appropriately. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats/maisonettes, and some period conversions, and there may be extra considerations near conservation areas. We review your site, intended use (office, gym, guest space) and placement, then advise on whether planning or building regs apply before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying structures, covering workmanship and key build elements such as structural framing, fixings and installation standards. Manufacturer warranties on items like roofing membranes, cladding systems, doors and glazing are passed on where applicable. The warranty assumes normal use and routine maintenance, such as timber care and keeping gutters/drainage clear. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before you proceed.
We offer a wide choice, from contemporary composite cladding and aluminium glazing to traditional timber boarding and heritage-style details suited to period homes. Popular options include sedum or EPDM flat roofs, insulated SIP-style panels, cedar cladding, and secure multi-point locking. For pergolas and gazebos, we can add lighting, slatted screens and integrated seating. We’ll help you balance looks, maintenance and budget during design.
