A well-designed pergola turns a patio into a usable outdoor room, whether you want summer shade, a dining spot or a feature for climbing plants. We install bespoke pergolas across BR5 and BR6, with many projects near Orpington station and around Priory Gardens. From compact courtyards to wide family gardens, we tailor the footprint and height to your space. Expect clean lines, solid fixings and a finish that looks right year-round.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates means no two gardens are the same. We regularly work in Petts Wood, St Mary Cray and Farnborough, adapting designs to existing patios, steps and lawn levels. For older properties, we match proportions to the house and keep posts aligned with windows and doors. For newer builds, we create crisp, contemporary frames that sit neatly with composite decking or porcelain paving.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you’ll use the space—dining, lounging or a covered walkway. You’ll receive clear options on layout, materials and finishes, plus guidance on canopy and lighting-ready details. Our installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and careful protection of borders and paving. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, transparent pricing and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
We understand the practicalities of working in the London Borough of Bromley, including access constraints on driveways and side passages common in Orpington. Ground conditions can vary from firm sub-bases to softer garden areas, so we choose the right post foundations and anchoring method. Where parking is limited near the High Street or The Walnuts Shopping Centre, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep the job running smoothly. The result is a pergola that’s stable, square and built for local weather.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most pergola projects in Orpington fall within £2,500–£5,000, depending on size, height and whether it’s attached or freestanding. Our overall price range is typically £1,500–£8,000, covering simpler wooden frames through to larger custom builds with canopy systems and premium finishes. Costs also vary with groundwork needs, access for materials, and any extras such as privacy screens or integrated lighting preparation.
A standard installation usually takes 2–4 days from setting out to final fixings and tidy-up. Smaller freestanding timber pergolas can be completed quicker, while larger attached designs or pergolas with canopy take longer due to additional framing, alignment and detailing. Timescales are also affected by ground conditions, curing time for post bases, and access constraints (for example, narrow side returns common on 1930s semis).
Many pergolas are classed as permitted development, particularly when they’re open-sided and kept within typical height limits. However, rules can change depending on placement near boundaries, whether your property is listed, or if there are local restrictions. We’ll discuss your design and location and help you check what applies in the London Borough of Bromley before work starts. If permission is needed, we can advise on the information to submit.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our pergola installations, covering issues arising from installation quality such as fixings, alignment and structural stability. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer warranties, which vary by product and finish. We’ll explain what’s included for your chosen timber or metal system and how to maintain it for longevity. If anything looks off after installation, we respond promptly and put it right.
We build custom designs in timber or metal, with options for attached pergolas, freestanding pergolas, and pergolas with canopy for adjustable shade. Popular choices include painted or stained wooden frames, powder-coated aluminium or steel, slatted roofs, and side screening for privacy. We’ll help you choose a style that suits your home and garden layout, then finalise post positions, heights and finishes to complement existing paving, planting and furniture.
