From weekend coffees after a walk on Tooting Bec Common to summer dinners near Tooting Broadway, a well-planned seating area changes how you use your garden. We design and build patios, dining spaces and sun lounging areas that suit the way you entertain and unwind. Whether you want a quiet corner or a sociable layout with a fire pit, we’ll shape the space around your home and lifestyle. Every build is finished with practical details such as lighting and shade structures.
Tooting’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have long, narrow gardens that need smart zoning to feel generous. We regularly work with mansion conversions too, where shared boundaries and sightlines matter. Our designs make the most of limited widths, awkward levels and existing extensions, creating comfortable routes and clear seating ‘rooms’. If you’re looking for outdoor seating areas Tooting area homeowners can use year-round, we’ll plan for drainage, privacy and low-maintenance finishes.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check access, and discuss how you want to use the space. You’ll receive a clear design proposal, material options and an itemised scope before work begins. Our team protects surrounding planting, keeps the site tidy, and communicates daily so there are no surprises. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, dependable scheduling, and a 10-year warranty on our installation.
Many SW17 gardens sit behind terraced homes with limited side access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and build sequences carefully. Ground conditions vary, and older gardens can hide shallow services or previous hardstanding; we survey and set correct sub-bases and drainage. We also consider London Borough of Wandsworth expectations around boundary treatments and neighbour impacts. The result is outdoor seating areas in London Borough of Wandsworth that look right for period brickwork and modern extensions alike.

Costs vary with size, access and finishes. As a guide, a small patio seating area may start around £2,500–£5,000, while larger patio-and-pergola dining spaces often fall between £7,000–£15,000+. Fire pit areas, built-in benches, lighting and shade structures add to the budget depending on specification and electrics. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in Tooting.
Most seating areas take 3–10 working days, depending on excavation, drainage work and the amount of joinery or masonry. A straightforward patio can be completed in under a week, while pergola seating, built-in benches, lighting and fire pit construction typically extend the programme to 2–3 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access through terraced properties, curing times, and any bespoke fabrication.
In many cases, patios, seating areas and low structures are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, the property is listed, or you’re adding taller shade structures, pergolas near boundaries, or significant raised platforms. We’ll flag likely constraints early, advise on best practice, and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Wandsworth when needed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installation, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose paving due to poor bedding, and defects in our construction of built-in seating structures. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like lighting fittings, composite materials or specialist coatings. We also provide care advice so your patio, pergola and seating stay looking their best.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance patio, sandstone for a warmer traditional look, and brick edging to suit Victorian and Edwardian homes. Seating can be built-in rendered masonry, hardwood, or composite, with pergolas in timber or aluminium. We can add fire pit areas, dining zones, sun lounging platforms, shade sails and integrated lighting. We’ll help you choose options that match your house style, budget and how you use the garden.
