If you want a dedicated workspace, studio or relaxing retreat, we design and build summer houses that feel like a natural extension of your home. We regularly work across SE6, including projects near Catford Broadway and Mountsfield Park. Every build starts with how you’ll use the space, then we tailor the layout, glazing and finishes to match. The result is a smart, durable structure that looks right in a Catford garden.
Catford’s housing mix brings different garden shapes and access constraints, from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis and ex-council properties. We plan builds that respect boundaries, manage sightlines and make the most of narrower plots common around Hither Green and Bellingham. Traditional styles can complement period homes, while contemporary designs suit cleaner rear elevations and modern extensions. We also advise on insulation options so the space stays comfortable beyond summer.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, measured design, clear specification, then a tidy build programme with regular updates. We handle foundations, structure, electrics and interior finishing, and we’ll flag any planning considerations early. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable scheduling and a finish that holds up to UK weather. Your build is backed by a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Across Catford and the wider London Borough of Lewisham, gardens can vary from softer ground to made-up areas from older landscaping. We assess levels, drainage and bearing capacity before specifying the right foundation approach. Access and parking can be tight near busier routes around Catford Broadway, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design around typical boundary lines and outbuildings found with terraces and ex-council homes.

Costs vary with size, specification and groundworks. As a guide, a small bespoke summer house with basic electrics may start around £6,000–£10,000. Mid-size insulated builds with better glazing and interior lining often fall in the £12,000–£20,000 range. Larger garden rooms with upgraded finishes, heating-ready electrics and more complex foundations can be £20,000–£35,000+. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit.
Most builds take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A simpler timber structure on straightforward foundations can be completed in about a week, while insulated builds with electrics and interior finishing typically take 2–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, lead times for bespoke doors/windows, and whether extra groundwork is needed for levels or drainage. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
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 if you’re in a conservation area, if the building is close to boundaries, or if you want plumbing or to use it as sleeping accommodation. We give planning advice at design stage and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Lewisham before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the structural integrity of the build, including key elements such as the frame, fixings and installation of core components. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for items like doors, windows, roofing products and electrical components. We also document the specification so you know exactly what’s included. If any snagging issues arise after completion, we arrange prompt remedial visits.
We offer bespoke designs in traditional and contemporary styles, with options such as cedar or treated timber cladding, composite finishes, and a choice of felt, EPDM or tiled-effect roofing. Popular upgrades include insulation, double glazing, integrated electrics, feature lighting and built-in storage. Internally, we can fit ply, plasterboard or timber lining with durable flooring options. We’ll guide you through choices based on budget, maintenance preferences and how you’ll use the space.
