A well-built summer house adds practical space without the upheaval of an extension. We design and build bespoke summer houses for homeowners around Addiscombe tram stop and Ashburton Park, tailored to how you’ll use the room. Choose traditional charm or a crisp contemporary look, with options for insulation and electrics. From first sketch to final coat of paint, we keep the build tidy and well managed.
Addiscombe’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often have long, narrow gardens and shared side access. We plan layouts that maximise usable floor area while keeping pathways clear and respecting boundaries. For homes near East Croydon and Shirley, we can create a garden office that stays warm in winter and cool in summer. Every build is measured to suit your plot, light levels and privacy needs.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear specification and a fixed-scope plan for foundations, structure, insulation, electrics and interior finishing. You’ll get straightforward planning advice and guidance on placement, height and permitted development. We protect lawns and paving, coordinate deliveries, and keep neighbours in mind with considerate working hours. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, clean workmanship and a finish that feels like part of the home.
In the London Borough of Croydon, garden levels and soil can vary street to street, so we assess ground conditions before specifying foundations. Addiscombe parking and access can be tight, especially by tram routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many properties have shared boundaries and mature planting, so we position buildings carefully and protect existing features. We also advise on council considerations and neighbour-friendly design choices.

Costs depend on size, specification and access. As a guide, a small, uninsulated summer house can start from around £4,000–£7,000. A mid-sized insulated garden room with electrics and better glazing is often £9,000–£18,000. Larger bespoke builds with premium cladding, heating, higher-spec interior finishing and complex foundations can reach £20,000–£35,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most builds take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are ready. A simple structure on a prepared base may be completed in under a week, while insulated builds with electrics, plasterboard, flooring and joinery usually take longer. Timescales are affected by foundation type, ground conditions, access through the property, and any bespoke windows or doors. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, provided they meet limits on height, placement and how much of the garden is covered. However, rules can change for corner plots, listed buildings, flats, or if there are previous extensions that reduce allowances. We’ll check the likely planning position, advise on compliant design, and help you understand when an application is sensible. If needed, we can supply drawings and supporting details for submission.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity, giving you confidence that the building is properly constructed. This includes key elements such as framing, fixings, roof structure and the installation of foundations where specified by our design. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items like doors, windows, membranes and electrical components. We also offer aftercare guidance so you know how to maintain timber finishes and keep the building performing well.
We build traditional styles and contemporary designs, with options including shiplap or tongue-and-groove timber, composite cladding, and a choice of roof finishes. Popular upgrades include insulation to walls, floor and roof, double glazing, secure doors, and a full electrical fit-out for sockets, lighting and data. Inside, we can add plasterboard, skirting, flooring and storage. We’ll help you choose a specification that suits your budget, usage and garden setting.
