A well-built gazebo adds shelter, structure and a natural focal point for entertaining. We design and install roofed structures for SE11 gardens, from compact courtyards to larger plots. Homeowners around The Oval and Kennington Park often want a space that works for dining, relaxing and evening use. Our gazebos can be open-sided for airflow or fitted with curtains for privacy.
Kennington’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks means gardens vary widely in size, access and levels. We’re used to working with side returns, narrow passages and shared boundaries, especially around Oval and Vauxhall. Every build is tailored to suit period detailing, existing paving and planting, and the way you use the space. If you’re in a flat with a communal garden, we can advise on practical layouts and permissions.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you want the gazebo to function. Foundations are specified to suit the ground and the structure, then we install the frame, roof, and any curtains, lighting and electrics. You’ll get a clear written scope, tidy working practices, and a finish that looks intentional rather than “added on”. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and aftercare you can reach easily—our base is around 20 minutes away.
In the gazebos Kennington area, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and lifting carefully. Many Lambeth gardens sit over mixed made ground, with old paving and variable levels, so we don’t guess—foundations are designed to suit. We also consider overlooking from neighbouring mansion blocks and terraces, using curtains, screening and lighting placement to improve privacy. Where needed, we can help you work within London Borough of Lambeth requirements.

Costs vary by size, materials and specification. As a guide, a small timber gazebo with basic roof and foundations often starts around £3,500–£6,500. Larger roofed structures with premium timber, metalwork, curtains and integrated lighting/electrics commonly fall between £7,000–£15,000+. Complex sites, restricted access in SE11, or bespoke joinery can increase the budget. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most gazebo projects take 2–7 working days once materials are ready. A straightforward install with prepared bases can be completed in a weekend-to-week timeframe, while larger builds with new foundations, bespoke fabrication, or electrics and lighting may take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, ground conditions, curing time for concrete, and any custom features such as curtains, decking, or roof upgrades.
Many garden structures can be installed under permitted development, but it depends on height, location, proximity to boundaries and whether your property is listed or in a conservation area. Parts of Kennington include heritage considerations, and mansion blocks may have additional rules. We’ll advise on likely requirements for Lambeth and can help you check constraints before you commit. If permission is needed, we can support with drawings and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gazebo installations, covering the build quality, fixings and installation-related issues under normal use. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products such as lighting, electrical components, roofing materials or metal finishes. We also give clear maintenance guidance for timber and fittings to help the structure stay looking sharp. If anything needs adjustment after settling, we respond promptly.
We build timber gazebos for a warm, traditional look and metal gazebos for crisp lines and low maintenance. Design options include open sides, partial screens, or curtains for privacy and weather protection, plus roof choices to suit your garden. Many clients add lighting and electrics for heaters, speakers or a hot tub setup. We’ll recommend sizes, finishes and layouts that work with your Kennington garden and how you entertain.
