As local pergola builders based next door in Norbury, we build custom timber pergolas across Streatham, open or with a clear roof, over patios, decks and side returns. Our nearest pergola jobs, including one in Clapham Junction, are below.
In Streatham the most common request is a sheltered spot to sit and eat outside. In Clapham Junction we did exactly that: a 3m x 3m patio in the back corner of the garden with a 3m x 3m pergola over it, finished with a see-through roof and guttering, alongside 55m² of new premium turf.
Streatham gardens are mostly clay soil, so each pergola post goes into a concrete footing deep enough that the frame stays square when the roof sheets and the weather put load on it.
Where a garden has a deck, the pergola can stand over it, as at Tracy's home in Barnes, where a custom timber pergola went up over new grey composite decking with sleeper flowerbeds on three levels.
A custom-made pergola over the side return, crazy paving jet washed and regrouted, around 15m of French drains connected to the gullies with panda gravel, and random concrete stepping stones across the lawn, in four days for £7,500 including VAT.
A fully custom timber pergola with a clear polycarbonate roof, guttering and lighting, supplied and installed in three days for just under £8,000 including VAT.

Pergola ideas for a Streatham garden
Think about where you sit most and whether you want to use it in the rain.

Outdoor dining

Raised and sheltered

Evenings outside
Oliver's Beckenham pergola has lighting built in under its clear roof.
Why see-through roofs
A solid roof makes the room behind it darker. Clear polycarbonate sheets keep the rain off while still letting light through to the patio and the windows, and guttering takes the water away so it does not pour off the edge onto the paving.

New premium turf, a patio and a pergola in Clapham Junction
This Clapham Junction garden got 55m² of new premium turf, a 3m x 3m patio in the back corner and a 3m x 3m pergola over it with a see-through roof and guttering. Everything was supplied and fitted in one week for £8,310 including VAT. Drag the slider to compare.
The Clapham Junction job, with a 3m x 3m clear-roof pergola, a patio and 55m² of turf, cost £8,310. Jane's side-return pergola in Thornton Heath was around £3,000 of a £7,500 job, Oliver's clear-roofed pergola with lighting was just under £8,000, and Tracy's pergola over composite decking in Barnes was £9,000.
Compare like for like. Compare whether the price covers the footings, the roof sheets and guttering, lighting, and any patio or deck under the pergola.

Planning questions about pergolas in Streatham go to Lambeth Council.
The 3m x 3m clear-roof pergola, patio and 55m² of turf in Clapham Junction cost £8,310 including VAT. Tracy's pergola over composite decking in Barnes was £9,000.
Can a pergola keep a patio dry?
Yes, with a see-through roof and guttering. The Clapham Junction pergola has both, over a new 3m x 3m patio.
Can you build a patio and a pergola together?
Yes. In Clapham Junction we laid the patio base and paving first, then fitted the pergola over it, all in one week with a new lawn.
Does a clear roof make the house darker?
Much less than a solid roof. Clear polycarbonate sheets let light through to the patio and the windows behind.
Can you put lighting in a pergola?
Yes. Oliver's pergola in Beckenham has lighting installed in the frame under its clear roof.
How tall can a pergola be near my fence?
As a general rule, a structure within 2m of a boundary should be no more than 2.5m high to stay within permitted development.
Is Streatham within your area for pergolas?
Yes. Our base is next door in Norbury, and we build pergolas from Streatham Vale and Streatham Common up to Streatham Hill.
