Shortlands homeowners often want a sheltered space that looks refined and works in all seasons. Our roofed gazebo structures can be open-sided for summer airflow, or finished with curtains for privacy and wind protection. We regularly work near Shortlands station and around BR2, designing layouts that suit patios, lawns and pool-style seating areas. Every build is planned to complement the character of your garden, not overpower it.
From large Edwardian houses to Victorian villas and well-kept 1930s properties, gardens in the Shortlands area vary in depth, levels and access. We tailor gazebo size, roof pitch and positioning to protect sightlines and maximise usable space. Whether you’re close to Shortlands Golf Club or nearer Bromley and Beckenham borders, we can match materials and detailing to your home’s period style. Expect clean lines, durable finishes and practical features you’ll actually use.
We start with a site visit, design options and a clear specification covering foundations, structure, electrics and finishes. Our team handles groundworks, safe cable routing, lighting placement and tidy handover, with minimal disruption. You’ll get a written plan, realistic timescales and workmanship backed by our warranty. Local clients choose us for straightforward communication and builds that stay solid and square for years.
Gardens in the London Borough of Bromley often have clay-heavy soils and patches of made ground, so we specify footings and bases to prevent movement. Access can be tight on residential roads near St Mary’s Church, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal carefully. Many BR2 plots include mature planting and level changes; we adapt foundation design and drainage to protect roots and keep surfaces neat. The result is a gazebo that sits true and drains properly in all weather.

Costs vary with size, materials and the level of finish. As a guide, a small timber gazebo with basic foundations typically starts around £3,500–£6,500. Larger roofed structures with upgraded timber, curtains, and integrated lighting/electrics are often £7,000–£15,000+. Metal gazebos and bespoke designs can sit higher depending on powder coating, roof type and groundworks complexity. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Most installations take 2–5 working days once materials are on site. A straightforward build with prepared ground and standard sizes can be completed in a couple of days, while larger roofed structures with electrics, lighting and more complex foundations may take a week or more. Timescales are affected by access, ground conditions, drainage needs and any bespoke joinery or metalwork. We confirm a schedule before work starts.
Many garden gazebos fall under permitted development, especially when they’re single-storey and within typical height limits. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, your property is listed, or the structure is close to boundaries. We’ll discuss placement, height and roof design and flag any likely issues. If permission or a lawful development certificate is advisable, we can guide you through what Bromley Council may require.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship and structural installation, covering issues such as fixings, alignment and build integrity when used as intended. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties, which vary by timber treatment, metal finishes and electrical components. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before you proceed. Regular care—such as timber re-treatment where specified—helps keep the structure looking its best long term.
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. We can add integrated lighting, outdoor-rated sockets and discreet cable routes, plus tailored foundations for patios or lawns. During the design stage we’ll recommend sizes, roof styles and finishes that suit your garden layout and your home’s architecture.
