Banstead gardens deserve seating that works for everyday life as well as weekends with friends. We design and build patio areas, built-in benches and dining spaces that suit how you use your outdoor space. Whether you’re close to Banstead High Street or looking out towards Banstead Downs, we’ll create a layout that feels natural and easy to live with. Lighting and shade structures are planned from the start, not added as an afterthought.
Homes across SM7 range from large detached houses to smart 1930s properties and executive homes, each with different levels, access and garden proportions. In Nork and Burgh Heath, we often create zoned seating: a sunny coffee spot, a sheltered dining area, and a quieter corner for sun lounging. Our designs balance clean lines with practical details like discreet drainage falls and durable edging. The result is a seating area that looks refined and stays that way.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss lifestyle needs and map out sightlines from the house. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering materials, build stages and finishes, including pergola seating, fire pit areas and integrated lighting where required. Our team works cleanly, protects lawns and pathways, and keeps neighbours in mind during deliveries. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Banstead’s downland setting can mean free-draining soils in places and heavier ground in others, so we tailor sub-bases and foundations accordingly. Many SM7 homes have sloping plots, so we set correct levels and falls to prevent pooling on patio areas. We plan access routes for materials and skips, and keep installs tidy where driveways and parking are shared. If any constraints apply, we’ll align the design with local expectations in outdoor seating areas in Reigate and Banstead Borough.

Most projects take 3–10 working days depending on the footprint and complexity. A straightforward patio area can be completed in under a week, while designs with pergolas, built-in benches, lighting circuits and fire pit areas often take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, excavation depth, curing time for bases, and weather. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden seating areas, patios and pergolas are permitted development and won’t require planning permission. However, rules can change for listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, or where structures are unusually tall or close to boundaries. Drainage is also important: permeable surfaces or correct run-off management may be needed. We’ll flag any likely issues, check constraints, and advise if you should confirm details with Reigate and Banstead Borough Council.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating areas, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or installation defects.
