A well-built summer house adds practical space for work, hobbies or hosting without changing your home’s footprint. We design and build tailored structures across SE5, including homes near Camberwell Green and Denmark Hill station. Choose traditional timber charm or a crisp contemporary look to suit your garden. Every build is planned around access, neighbours and how you want to use the space.
Camberwell’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments calls for flexible design and careful workmanship. We’re used to long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries common around Denmark Hill and towards Peckham. Our team can match period character with traditional styles, or create clean-lined contemporary designs that complement newer developments. Insulation options and internal layouts are specified to make the space comfortable beyond summer.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a written specification covering foundations, structure, electrics and finishes. You’ll get practical planning advice, a tidy build programme and regular updates from start to handover. We use quality materials, proven fixings and weatherproof detailing to protect your investment. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, considerate on-site behaviour and a premium finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Southwark, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions vary, so we assess levels and drainage before specifying the right base. For Victorian terraces around Denmark Hill and towards Brixton, we pay close attention to boundary lines and neighbour considerations. We also advise on Southwark requirements and any constraints affecting height, placement and electrics.

Costs in Camberwell typically range from £6,000–£12,000 for a smaller, uninsulated build with basic finishing, and £12,000–£25,000+ for larger bespoke designs with insulation, electrics and higher-end interior finishing. Price depends on size, foundations, glazing/doors, roof type, access for materials, and the level of fit-out (lighting, sockets, flooring and storage). We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most builds take around 1–3 weeks on site once materials are ready. A straightforward structure with standard finishing can be quicker, while bespoke designs with insulation, electrics, plasterboard, flooring and joinery typically take longer. Timescales are affected by base preparation, drying time for concrete, access constraints in SE5 streets, and any custom joinery or glazing lead times. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, provided they meet limits on height, placement and overall garden coverage. However, rules can change for flats, listed buildings, and some conservation areas, and electrics may require certification. We give planning advice as part of the process and check the key constraints for your property in the London Borough of Southwark before finalising the design, so there are no surprises later.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity, including key elements such as the frame, fixings, roof detailing and weatherproofing, when maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply to selected materials (for example, doors, windows, membranes and cladding systems) and are passed on to you. We also complete electrics to current standards and supply the relevant certification where required.
You can choose traditional timber styles to suit Georgian and Victorian homes, or contemporary designs with clean lines and larger glazing. Popular options include insulated walls and roof, composite or timber cladding, EPDM or felt roofing, double glazing, and tailored interior finishing such as plasterboard, painted panelling, laminate or engineered wood flooring, and built-in storage. We help you balance look, maintenance and budget, then finalise a specification that fits your garden and usage.
