Woolwich gardens are changing fast, from balconies near Royal Arsenal to family plots towards Plumstead and Charlton. We create outdoor seating that fits how you use your space—morning coffee, weekend dining, or a cosy fire pit area after dark. Expect practical layouts, durable materials and clean detailing. Every design is tailored to your levels, privacy needs and sunlight.
In SE18 you’ll find Victorian terraces with compact rear gardens, converted arsenal buildings with courtyards, and modern apartments needing smart, space-saving seating. We’re used to tight access routes, shared boundaries and awkward corners that need clever planning. Built-in benches can reclaim space along fences, while pergola seating adds structure without crowding the garden. Our approach suits both period character and contemporary finishes.
We start with a site visit to map levels, drainage and how you move through the garden. You’ll receive a clear proposal, material options and an installation plan that minimises disruption. We build with proper sub-bases, fixings and weatherproof finishes, then check everything is stable, safe and easy to maintain. Local homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty.
We plan outdoor seating areas in Royal Borough of Greenwich with local realities in mind: mixed ground conditions, level changes and restricted access near busy routes. Parking and loading can be challenging around Woolwich Town Centre, so we schedule deliveries carefully and keep the site organised. For converted arsenal buildings and modern blocks, we consider noise, neighbour proximity and communal boundaries. Where needed, we advise on drainage and permeable options to reduce surface water issues.

Costs vary with size, groundworks and finishes. As a guide, a small patio seating area can start around £2,500–£5,000, while larger spaces with built-in benches, lighting and premium paving often fall between £7,000–£15,000+. Pergola seating, shade structures and fire pit areas can add £1,500–£8,000 depending on specification. We provide itemised options so you can scale the design to budget.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on excavation, waste removal and curing times. A straightforward patio with minimal level changes may be completed in under a week, while seating with pergola structures, built-in benches, lighting and a fire pit can take 2–3 weeks. Access constraints in SE18, delivery restrictions and wet weather can extend timelines. We confirm a schedule before work begins.
Most garden seating installations—patios, benches, low pergolas and lighting—are usually permitted development, so planning permission often isn’t required. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, large structures, raised platforms, or if you’re in a flat with leasehold restrictions. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can help you check Royal Borough of Greenwich guidance. When in doubt, we recommend written confirmation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating installations, covering issues such as unstable construction, fixings failures and defects arising from installation. Materials (paving, timber, lighting components) are covered by their manufacturer warranties, which we pass on and explain clearly. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or extreme events, but we’re always available to advise on care and maintenance.
We design around how you want to use the space: dining spaces, sun lounging areas, or a social fire pit zone. Popular choices include porcelain paving, sandstone, composite decking, and brick-edged patios to suit Victorian terraces. Built-in benches can be timber, composite or rendered masonry, often with hidden storage. Pergolas and shade structures range from treated timber to aluminium systems, with optional lighting for evening use. We bring samples and recommend options for durability and style.
