A garden office is the simplest way to add a quiet, professional workspace without moving house. In Purley and CR8, we build warm, sound-controlled buildings that suit family life and busy working weeks. Whether you’re near Purley Cross or heading towards Riddlesdown, we’ll create a setup that looks right in your garden and performs in every season. Expect proper insulation, secure doors and windows, and a finish that matches your home.
Purley’s leafy plots and established streets include large detached houses, 1930s properties and characterful period homes. We tailor foundations and layouts to each garden, from long rear lawns in Purley Oaks to tighter side access routes in Kenley. Our designs consider overlooking, boundary lines and how you want to use the space—office, studio, therapy room or hybrid. The result is a building that adds value and works with the way your property is arranged.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear design proposal, then confirm electrics, heating, security and internet-ready routing before work begins. Foundations are installed to suit ground conditions, followed by a tidy, well-managed build with minimal disruption. You’ll have one point of contact throughout, plus transparent scheduling and quality checks at key stages. Local homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, clean finishes and a building that stays warm, quiet and secure for years.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, gardens vary from level patios to sloping plots towards the North Downs. In Purley we often plan access carefully, especially around driveways and side passages, and we keep deliveries coordinated to reduce parking issues. Ground conditions can change even street to street, so we specify the right foundation type rather than guessing. We also match proportions and cladding choices to the look of 1930s and period homes.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Purley typically start from around £12,000–£18,000 for a compact insulated office with basic electrics. Mid-range builds with heating, upgraded glazing, better sound control and bespoke joinery often fall between £20,000–£35,000. Larger, fully bespoke garden offices with premium finishes, enhanced security and more complex foundations can reach £40,000–£60,000+. A site visit helps confirm access, groundworks and specification.
Most garden office projects take 3–6 weeks from breaking ground to completion, depending on size and specification. Foundations and groundworks usually take several days, then the structure, insulation, electrics and internal finishes follow. Timescales can extend if access is restricted, if you choose bespoke glazing or specialist cladding, or if weather delays groundwork. We provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden offices fall under permitted development, especially when they’re single-storey, within height limits and used as ancillary space to the home. However, rules can change with listed buildings, conservation considerations, proximity to boundaries, or if you want plumbing and a more intensive use. We provide planning advice, check the key constraints for your Croydon address, and can help prepare drawings and information if an application is needed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty covering build quality, structural integrity and installation standards when the office is used and maintained as intended. This includes key elements such as the building shell, insulation installation and weatherproofing details. Manufacturer warranties also apply to many components, such as doors, windows, cladding systems and electrical products. At handover, we explain care requirements and provide documentation for your records.
We offer bespoke designs with options such as composite or timber cladding, contemporary flat or pitched roofs, and aluminium or uPVC glazing depending on style and budget. Inside, popular choices include plastered walls, acoustic panels, built-in storage and durable flooring for office chairs. You can also choose enhanced sound proofing, upgraded security, and different heating types. We’ll guide you through samples and practical pros and cons for your garden and home.
