A well-designed pergola creates a defined spot for dining, lounging, or a hot tub without taking over the garden. We install bespoke structures across SE6, including near Catford Broadway and Mountsfield Park. Whether you want a clean-lined frame for climbing plants or a covered area for reliable shade, we tailor the layout to your space. Expect a premium finish that looks right from the house and the patio.
Catford homes often have compact rear gardens and side access that needs careful planning, especially with Victorian terraces and 1930s semis. We design around existing patios, steps, and boundary lines so the structure feels integrated rather than added on. For ex-council properties, we can maximise usable space with smart positioning and canopy options. Our pergolas Catford area clients choose are built to suit real-life garden proportions.
We start with a site visit, take accurate levels, and confirm fixing methods for your paving or footings. You’ll receive a clear specification covering materials, finishes, and optional extras such as a canopy or privacy screening. Our team works tidily, protects planting and surfaces, and keeps disruption low across the 2–4 day build window. Homeowners trust us for straightforward communication, reliable scheduling, and craftsmanship that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, gardens can vary from firm sub-bases to softer ground that needs deeper footings. In Catford, access is often through side returns or narrow passages, so we plan component sizes and delivery accordingly. We also factor in parking and loading near busy routes around Catford Broadway. The result is a pergola that’s properly anchored, square, and aligned to your house and boundaries.

For pergolas in Catford, most homeowners spend £2,500–£5,000 for a quality, made-to-measure installation. Smaller, simpler timber frames can start around £1,500, while larger structures, premium hardwoods, metal frames, or pergolas with a canopy commonly reach £6,000–£8,000. Price is influenced by size, materials, footing requirements, and any extras such as lighting prep or privacy screening.
Most pergola builds take 2–4 days from set-out to final fixings, assuming access is straightforward and materials are confirmed in advance. Timing depends on the size, whether it’s attached to the house or freestanding, and if we’re installing a canopy system. Ground conditions also matter: deeper footings or working around existing paving can add time, but we’ll give a realistic schedule before work begins.
In many cases, a garden pergola falls under permitted development and won’t need planning permission, provided it meets height and location limits and isn’t a separate dwelling. However, rules can differ for flats, maisonettes, listed buildings, and some constrained sites. We’ll talk you through the basics and, where needed, help you check Lewisham requirements before installation so there are no surprises later.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship on your pergola installation, including structural assembly and fixings when used as intended. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, particularly for metal finishes and canopy components, and we’ll pass those details on clearly. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or lack of routine care (such as re-oiling certain timbers), but we’ll advise on maintenance.
We build wooden pergolas (including treated softwood and selected hardwoods) and metal pergolas for a sharper, contemporary look. You can choose attached pergolas for a seamless transition from the house, or freestanding pergolas to zone the garden. Popular upgrades include pergolas with canopy for shade, slatted tops, and posts positioned to keep walkways clear. We’ll recommend options based on your garden size, style, and budget.
