Norbury SW16 · Pergolas
Made to fit your garden, built on site.
As local pergola builders with our base here in Norbury, we design and build custom timber pergolas across SW16, made to fit the space: over a patio, a deck or a side return. Our nearest pergola, a mile away in Thornton Heath, is shown below.

Your garden, considered
Off-the-shelf pergolas come in fixed sizes; gardens do not. In Thornton Heath we built a made-to-measure pergola over Jane's side return, which made up around £3,000 of a £7,500 job that also included 15m of French drains, a regrouted crazy paving patio and stepping stones to the shed.
Most gardens in Norbury are on clay, which moves as it wets and dries, so pergola posts need firm footings in concrete to stay upright and square under the weight of a roof.
A pergola can also have a clear roof to keep the rain off: in Clapham Junction we fitted a 3m x 3m pergola with a see-through roof and guttering over a new patio.

Materials & possibilities
The main decision is whether you want shade and climbing plants, or shelter from the rain as well.
A covered pergola collects a lot of water, so guttering carries it away from the patio and the house. Oliver's pergola in Beckenham has clear polycarbonate sheets, guttering and lighting built in, so the space works on wet evenings as well as summer days.
From first ideas to finishing touches
We measure the space and check where posts can go.
Size, roof, finish and lighting agreed.
Posts set, frame and rafters built on site.
Roof, guttering and lighting fitted if chosen.

Norbury · SW16
Our base is here in Norbury, and we build pergolas in Norbury Park, Pollards Hill, Norwood Grove and Streatham Common, and across to Thornton Heath and Upper Norwood.
Norbury is in Croydon, so Croydon Council is the planning authority for larger garden structures.
