From relaxed reading rooms to practical home offices, we build summer houses that add real usable space in Bexley. Our team designs and constructs bespoke buildings that suit your garden layout and how you want to use it.

We can include electrics, insulation and interior finishing so it feels like a true extension of your home.
The London Borough of Bexley has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and modern homes, and each brings different garden sizes and access challenges. In DA5, we regularly work with narrower side access and established planting that needs protecting. Whether you’re in Crayford or Barnehurst, we tailor the footprint, roofline and cladding to complement the property rather than overpower it. Our designs can echo period details or create a clean, modern contrast.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, followed by a detailed specification for foundations, structure and finishes. We advise on planning and permitted development, then schedule the build to minimise disruption and keep the site tidy. You’ll get transparent updates, careful workmanship and a handover that includes electrics testing where applicable. Homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, neat finishing and a build that lasts.
Gardens in Bexley can vary from level lawns to areas needing careful groundwork, so we assess drainage and ground stability before setting foundations. Parking and access can be limited near Bexley High Street, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep things smooth. We also account for neighbouring boundaries and privacy, especially with taller contemporary designs. Where council rules apply, we guide you through options and documentation.

Costs vary by size, specification and finish. In Bexley, a basic timber summer house may start around £3,000–£6,000, while a larger bespoke build with robust foundations, insulation and electrics is often £8,000–£18,000+. Premium interior finishing, glazing upgrades and higher-end cladding can take projects beyond that. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site survey.
Many builds take 1–3 weeks on site once the design is agreed, depending on size and complexity. Groundworks and foundations can take several days, then the structure, roof, doors/windows and interior finishing follow. Timescales can extend for bespoke joinery, insulation packages, electrical work, or if access is restricted in areas like Barnehurst or Crayford. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, especially when they’re within height limits and placed appropriately in the garden. However, rules can change if you’re close to boundaries, in a restricted area, or if the building is intended for sleeping accommodation. We provide planning advice, check the key constraints, and can help you prepare information if an application is needed. It’s always best to confirm before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty covering structural build quality and installation standards. This includes key elements such as the base/foundations (where we construct them), framing, roof structure and weatherproofing details. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products like doors, windows, membranes and electrical components. We’ll explain what’s covered and how to maintain your summer house for long-term performance.
We offer traditional styles with timber cladding and pitched roofs, as well as contemporary designs with clean lines, larger glazing and modern finishes. Popular options include insulation upgrades, plasterboard and painted interiors, engineered flooring, and fitted storage. You can choose double doors, bi-folds, skylights, or extra security features.
