A well-planned seating area changes how you use your garden, whether it’s morning coffee or family dinners outdoors. We design and build tailored spaces across BR4, including around West Wickham High Street and Spring Park. Expect practical layouts, quality finishes and details that make the space feel inviting. If you want shade, warmth or better flow from the house, we’ll shape the design around it.
West Wickham’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and newer developments often comes with generous side access and varied garden levels. We regularly create outdoor seating areas West Wickham area homeowners can enjoy without sacrificing lawn or planting space. For properties near Coney Hall or bordering greener edges, we balance open views with privacy and shelter. Every build is sized to the plot and how you entertain.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss how you’ll use the space, and check drainage and access. You’ll receive a clear specification for the patio, seating, shade structures and lighting, with materials chosen for longevity. Our team keeps the site tidy and communicates throughout, so you know what’s happening and when. Homeowners choose us for outdoor seating areas in London Borough of Bromley because the finish is precise and the build is dependable.
Gardens in West Wickham can have clay-heavy soils and pockets that hold water, so we plan falls, drainage and sub-bases carefully. Parking and access vary between 1930s streets and newer estates, so we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary lines, neighbouring windows and mature trees common around Spring Park. Our detailing suits Bromley’s residential character while staying practical for everyday use.

Costs vary by size, groundwork and features. As a guide, a small patio seating area typically starts around £2,500–£5,000. Mid-size spaces with lighting and built-in benches often fall between £6,000–£12,000. Larger designs with pergola seating, fire pit areas, premium paving and more complex drainage can be £12,000–£25,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on the footprint and specification. A straightforward patio area can be completed in under a week, while designs with pergolas, built-in benches, lighting and fire pit construction usually take longer. Timescales are affected by access, excavation depth, drainage requirements, curing times for mortar/concrete, and weather. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden seating areas such as patios and low pergolas are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, if structures are unusually tall, or if you’re close to boundaries and neighbours. Drainage requirements may also apply, especially for larger paved areas. We’ll flag any likely issues, advise on compliant design, and help you check Bromley’s guidance where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating areas, covering installation quality such as sub-base preparation, levels, and structural integrity of built features like benches and pergola posts (when included in our scope). Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties, which vary by product. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or issues caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain what’s included in writing with your quotation.
We can create dining spaces and sun lounging areas using porcelain paving, natural sandstone, granite setts, or composite decking, depending on the look and maintenance you prefer. Built-in benches can be rendered, brick-faced or timber-clad, often with integrated storage. Pergola seating can be timber or aluminium, with optional slatted roofs or retractable shade. We also design lighting plans and safe fire pit areas, then help you choose finishes that suit your home.
