A well-built gazebo creates a sheltered spot for dining, lounging or a hot tub area without taking over the garden. We design and install roofed structures with open sides, optional curtains, and integrated lighting to suit how you use the space. From compact courtyards near Lordship Lane to larger plots close to Dulwich Park, we tailor every build to the garden’s proportions. If you’re in SE22, we can visit quickly and advise on the best layout.
East Dulwich homes often come with Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, each with different garden shapes and access. We’re used to narrow side returns, shared alleyways and stepped levels that affect how materials are brought in and where foundations sit. Our gazebo designs work equally well for family gardens in Dulwich Village and busier outdoor spaces around Peckham Rye. The result is a structure that looks right against period brickwork and mature planting.
We start with a site survey, discuss positioning, drainage and power requirements, then provide a clear written specification. Foundations are set properly to prevent movement, and electrics are installed safely with tidy cable routes and weatherproof fittings. You’ll get realistic timescales, considerate working practices, and a finish that’s clean and precise. Local homeowners choose us because we communicate well, turn up when we say we will, and stand behind our workmanship.
Gardens in the gazebos east dulwich area can have clay-heavy ground and variable drainage, so we specify the right foundation depth and sub-base. Access is often tight around terraces, so we plan deliveries and component sizing to avoid disruption. We also factor in parking and working hours typical for residential streets near Nunhead and Herne Hill. For gazebos in London Borough of Southwark, we keep designs sympathetic to period properties and neighbouring sightlines.

Costs vary with size, materials and electrics. As a guide, a small timber gazebo with basic foundations typically starts around £2,500–£4,500. Larger roofed structures with upgraded finishes, curtains and integrated lighting often fall in the £5,000–£12,000 range. Metal gazebos can be similar or higher depending on specification. Site access, ground conditions and the distance to a consumer unit for power also affect the budget.
Most installations take 2–5 working days once materials are ready, depending on size and complexity. A straightforward open-sided timber gazebo on prepared ground can be completed in a couple of days, while roofed structures with curtains, lighting and electrics may take longer. Foundations and curing time can add a day or two, especially after wet weather. Access constraints typical of SE22 terraces can also extend set-up and delivery time.
Many garden gazebos fall under permitted development, particularly if they’re a reasonable height and not used as separate accommodation. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats/maisonettes, and properties in conservation areas, and there are limits on how much of the garden can be covered by outbuildings. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you check Southwark’s guidance before you commit to a design.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our gazebo installations, covering issues arising from our construction and fitting, such as fixings, structural assembly and foundation-related workmanship defects. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to specific products like lighting fittings, metal components or roof coverings, depending on the chosen brand. We also give maintenance guidance for timber treatments and hardware checks so your gazebo stays solid and looking its best over time.
We build timber gazebos for a warm, traditional look and metal gazebos for a crisp, contemporary finish. Options include fully roofed structures, open sides for airflow, or curtains for shade and privacy. Many homeowners add integrated lighting, outdoor sockets and discreet cable runs for heaters or speakers. We’ll help you choose the right footprint, roof style and finish based on sun direction, garden use, and how it complements your period property.
