A well-planned seating area changes how you use your garden—more evenings outside, easier hosting, and a better view from the house. We design and build patio areas, dining spaces and sun lounging zones that suit Streatham Hill’s compact plots and varied levels. Whether you’re near Streatham Hill station or walking distance from Telford Park, we’ll shape a layout that works for your routine. Expect clean lines, comfortable proportions, and finishes that stand up to British weather.
Local homes range from Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses to mansion conversions, each with different access and garden proportions. We’re used to narrow side returns, stepped gardens and shared boundaries, so we plan builds that minimise disruption. For townhouse-style gardens, built-in benches and integrated storage can free up floor space. For larger plots, pergola seating and separate dining spaces create distinct “zones” without feeling cluttered.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and design consultation, then provide a clear, itemised quote and programme. Our team handles groundworks, drainage, paving, carpentry and electrics for lighting so the finish is consistent. We protect lawns and pathways, keep the site tidy, and communicate daily progress. Homeowners choose us because we deliver premium detailing, dependable timelines, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Lambeth we often find clay-heavy ground and gardens that hold water after rain, so we prioritise correct sub-bases, falls and drainage. Access can be tight around Christchurch Road and similar streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and storage carefully. We also consider party walls, neighbouring sightlines and typical terrace boundaries when positioning pergolas, lighting and seating. If permits or parking suspensions are needed, we’ll advise early to avoid delays.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. A simple paved patio seating area typically starts from around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-range projects with built-in benches, lighting and improved drainage often fall between £7,000–£15,000. Larger schemes with pergola seating, fire pit areas and premium porcelain or natural stone can be £15,000–£30,000+. We’ll survey, then provide an itemised quote.
Most outdoor seating areas take 3–10 working days, depending on groundworks, levels and finishes. A straightforward patio can be completed in under a week, while pergola seating, built-in benches, lighting and fire pit construction usually add time. Weather, access constraints, curing times for concrete, and any drainage upgrades can affect the schedule. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Most garden seating areas, patios and low structures are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats/mansion conversions, conservation areas, and taller pergolas or shade structures close to boundaries. If electrics are involved for lighting, they must be installed safely and compliantly. We check the relevant Lambeth guidance, flag any risks early, and can help you prepare information if consent is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our outdoor seating area builds. This covers installation quality for ground preparation, sub-base construction, laying of paving, and the fitting of built-in benches and structures, when used and maintained normally. Materials are covered by their manufacturers’ guarantees, which we pass on to you. We also offer aftercare advice so your patio, lighting and timber elements stay looking their best.
We tailor designs to your garden and how you entertain. Popular choices include porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance patio, sandstone or granite for a natural look, and composite or hardwood for built-in benches and pergola seating. Fire pit areas can be formed in stone, brick or steel, with safe clearances planned in. We’ll guide you on colour, slip resistance, drainage and lighting placement to suit your home and budget.
