Soho gardens and terraces often need smart, space-saving design to feel truly usable. We create patio areas, dining spaces and sun lounging areas that suit the pace of W1 living. Whether you’re near Soho Square or walking distance from Carnaby Street, we’ll shape a layout that works for entertaining and quiet evenings alike. Expect clean lines, durable finishes and thoughtful lighting.
Our team regularly works across the outdoor seating areas Soho area, including Fitzrovia, Covent Garden and Leicester Square. Property styles range from Georgian townhouses with compact rear courtyards to mansion flats and commercial conversions with roof terraces. We design around awkward footprints, neighbouring sightlines and limited storage. The result is a seating area that feels intentional, not squeezed in.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear concept plan, then specify materials that cope with heavy use and London weather. You’ll receive a written scope, tidy working practices, and realistic scheduling that respects neighbours and access constraints. We coordinate deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low. Homeowners choose us for consistent craftsmanship and straightforward communication.
Soho sites often have tight access, timed deliveries and restricted parking, so we plan logistics carefully. In the City of Westminster, we also consider party walls, basement vaults and older drainage runs common around W1. We use build-ups that manage water properly and reduce movement on mixed sub-bases. Where noise and neighbours are a concern, we schedule cutting and installation considerately.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a compact patio seating area with quality paving typically starts from £3,000–£7,000. Built-in benches, lighting and planting details often bring projects to £8,000–£18,000. Larger schemes with pergola seating, bespoke joinery and fire pit areas can range from £18,000–£40,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–10 working days depending on demolition, groundworks and finishes. A simple patio with a small dining space can be completed in under a week, while pergolas, built-in benches, lighting and fire pit areas usually extend the programme to 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through buildings, curing time for concrete bases, and lead times for bespoke timber or stone. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Many garden seating upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing paving or adding low-level hard landscaping. However, in the City of Westminster there can be extra considerations, including listed buildings, conservation areas, roof terraces, and structures like pergolas or tall shade screens. Fire features and external lighting may also need careful positioning. We check the relevant constraints, advise on what’s likely to be required, and can help with drawings for any applications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our outdoor seating installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by poor preparation, loose paving due to incorrect bedding, and fixings that fail prematurely when installed by us. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting, pergola components and specialist finishes. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, and we’ll explain care requirements for timber, stone and joints at handover.
Popular options include porcelain paving for low maintenance, sandstone or granite for a natural look, and composite or hardwood for built-in benches. For shade, we install timber pergolas, slatted screens and retractable canopies where suitable. Fire pit areas can be gas or wood-burning, depending on ventilation and clearances. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your property style, privacy needs and how you plan to use the space day to day.
