A well-built pergola adds structure, shade and a focal point for dining or lounging outdoors. We design and install bespoke pergolas for Sevenoaks homeowners, from Riverhead gardens to properties near Sevenoaks High Street. Whether you want a calm seating area or a defined walkway, we’ll create a finish that suits your planting and patio. Expect clean lines, solid fixings and careful attention to detail.
Sevenoaks features large detached houses, executive homes and characterful period properties, often with generous rear gardens. We regularly design around mature planting and established lawns, common near Knole House and across TN13 and TN14. If you’re working with a modern patio or a traditional brick terrace, we’ll match proportions and materials so the pergola looks intentional, not bolted on. Our layouts also consider privacy, sun path and how you actually use the space.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss style, and confirm ground conditions and fixing points. You’ll receive clear options for wooden pergolas, metal pergolas, attached or freestanding designs, plus canopy choices where needed. Installation typically takes 2–4 days, with tidy working practices and respectful neighbour-friendly scheduling. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, premium workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the pergolas Sevenoaks area, we often encounter clay-heavy ground that benefits from properly sized footings and careful levelling. Access can be tight on some lanes around Otford and Dunton Green, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal in advance. We also consider boundary lines, overlooking and existing trees, which are common in established Sevenoaks District gardens. The result is a pergola that sits square, drains well and feels proportionate to the property.

For pergolas in Sevenoaks, most projects fall between £2,500 and £5,000, with a wider range of roughly £1,500 to £8,000 depending on size and specification. Costs are influenced by whether it’s attached or freestanding, timber versus metal, canopy additions, and the number of posts and footings required. Ground conditions, access for materials, and any bespoke joinery or powder-coated finishes can also affect the final figure.
Most pergola installations take 2–4 days from setting out to final fixings, assuming normal access and straightforward groundworks. Smaller timber frames can be completed faster, while larger custom builds, metal structures, or pergolas with canopy systems may take longer. Timescales can also change if we need deeper footings due to softer ground, or if we’re working around existing patios, drainage runs, or mature planting that needs protection.
Many garden pergolas are permitted development, especially when they’re open-sided and within typical height limits, but rules can vary by property and setting. In Sevenoaks District, extra considerations may apply for listed buildings, homes near protected areas, or where a structure is close to a boundary. We’ll discuss your design, check the likely constraints, and advise if a planning enquiry is sensible before you commit to a final layout.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pergola workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as structural fixings, post setting, and frame stability when used and maintained correctly. Materials are selected for durability, and any manufacturer warranties on canopy components or metal finishes are passed on where applicable. We also give practical care guidance for timber treatments and routine checks, so your pergola continues to perform well through the seasons.
We build custom designs in treated timber or metal, with options for freestanding or attached pergolas to suit your patio layout and elevation. Popular choices include slatted roofs for dappled light, pergolas with canopy for adjustable shade, and clean-lined contemporary frames for executive homes. We’ll help you choose proportions, colours and finishes that suit your brickwork and garden style, and we can incorporate lighting routes or planting features where required.
