West Dulwich homeowners often want extra space without sacrificing the garden. We build garden offices, summer houses, garden rooms and workshops that feel like a natural extension of your home. Whether you’re near West Dulwich station or enjoy walks through Belair Park, we’ll create a structure that suits the character of SE21 gardens. Each build is planned around light, privacy and year-round comfort.
The West Dulwich area features Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, each with different garden proportions and access constraints. We design buildings that complement traditional brickwork, sash-window aesthetics and mature planting. For clients in Dulwich Village, Herne Hill and Tulse Hill, we regularly adapt foundations and layouts to narrow side returns and shared boundaries. The result is a garden building that looks intentional, not dropped in.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and practical design advice, then a clear specification and schedule. We handle base preparation, drainage considerations, electrics coordination and finishing details, keeping disruption low. You’ll get transparent communication, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Many clients choose us because we’re only around 15 minutes away and can respond quickly when needed.
As garden building contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we plan for typical access and parking limitations on residential streets, plus careful material deliveries. Gardens near Dulwich Wood can have tree roots and variable ground that influence base design and levels. We also consider privacy and overlooking from neighbouring period conversions, positioning doors and glazing accordingly. Where required, we’ll help you align the design with Lambeth guidance and any boundary constraints.

Costs vary by size, insulation, glazing and services. A basic shed or small workshop may start around £1,500–£4,000. A quality summer house or gazebo is often £4,000–£10,000 depending on roof and joinery. Fully insulated garden rooms or offices with electrics and premium finishes commonly fall in the £12,000–£35,000+ range. We’ll confirm options after a site visit in SE21.
Many projects take 1–3 weeks from base to completion, depending on complexity. A small shed or pergola can be completed in a few days, while insulated garden rooms, log cabins or bespoke workshops may take 2–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, ground preparation, bespoke joinery, electrics, and lead times for doors, windows and cladding. We provide a clear programme before work starts.
Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, especially single-storey structures within height and boundary limits. However, rules can change based on your property type, whether it’s a flat/maisonette, previous extensions, or if restrictions apply. We’ll check key constraints such as height, placement, and intended use (e.g., sleeping accommodation). If permission or a lawful development certificate is advisable, we’ll guide you through the process.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural elements of the build, including the base, framing and installation standards, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for items such as roofing membranes, doors, windows and cladding products. We also document the specification so you know exactly what has been installed. If any snagging issues arise, we resolve them promptly.
We offer a wide range, from contemporary garden rooms with composite cladding to traditional timber summer houses and log cabins. Popular choices include cedar or larch cladding, EPDM or felt roofs, aluminium or timber glazing, and optional verandas or covered decking. Pergolas and gazebos can be timber or powder-coated metal, with slatted or polycarbonate roofs. We help you choose based on style, maintenance, budget and year-round performance.
