Those generous plots around Wildernesse and Knole Park cry out for architectural garden features that match the grandeur of the surrounding landscape. Installing a gazebo isn't merely about shelter – it's creating that perfect focal point where your garden's natural beauty meets refined outdoor living. Whether you're working with a sprawling lawn or tucking a structure into that awkward corner behind the rhododendrons, the possibilities are endless.
Ground preparation proves crucial on Sevenoaks' clay-heavy soil, particularly after wet winters when foundations can shift dramatically. Steel-reinforced concrete footings go down first, engineered to handle both the structure's weight and our notorious soil movement. Cedar shingles or EPDM rubber membranes top the roof, while pressure-treated posts resist the dampness that creeps up from valley floors. Every joint gets weatherproofed against those sideways autumn rains that sweep across from Seal Chart.
Twenty-three years building in Kent's greenbelt means understanding exactly which designs complement period properties without triggering planning headaches. Local knowledge matters when you're navigating conservation areas around the Old Town.

Basic 3x3m structures start around £4,500, while elaborate 6x4m designs with cedar shingles and decorative balustrades reach £15,000. Most Sevenoaks gardens suit something in the £7,000-£9,000 range.
Absolutely – from the village greens of TN15 through to the newer developments in TN14, including all of central TN13. Regular projects in Dunton Green, Kemsing and Otford too.
Typically 4-6 weeks total, though oak-framed designs requiring seasoning might stretch to 8 weeks. Weather dependent, naturally.
Each build carries decade-long coverage against structural failure, with annual inspections included for the first two years. Timber treatment guarantees extend separately.
Certainly – armoured cables run underground from your consumer unit, with weatherproof sockets and switches throughout. Many clients add infrared heaters for year-round use.
