A well-built summer house adds practical space without the upheaval of a full extension. We design and build bespoke summer houses across Croydon, including Addiscombe and South Croydon, with options for insulation, electrics and interior finishing. Whether you’re near East Croydon station or closer to the Whitgift Centre, we tailor the build to your garden and how you plan to use it. The result is a premium structure that looks right in your outdoor setting and performs in every season.
Croydon is one of South London’s largest boroughs, with a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments. That variety matters: a compact CR0 terrace garden may need clever access planning, while a larger plot in Shirley or Sanderstead can suit a bigger footprint and verandas. We match proportions, rooflines and materials so your new summer house complements the property rather than competing with it. Our team is local, so we understand the expectations and practicalities of homes across CR2 and CR9 as well.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a design proposal that covers layout, glazing, doors and storage. Next comes groundworks and foundations, then the build, electrics (if required), insulation options and interior finishing to your spec. You’ll get straightforward planning advice, a transparent schedule and tidy working practices throughout. Homeowners choose us because we deliver consistent quality, communicate clearly, and stand behind our work with long-term protection.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, gardens vary from clay-heavy ground to made-up soils, so we specify the right foundation method for the site. We also plan for side access, shared driveways and parking restrictions common around busier routes near East Croydon station. Our approach suits both period homes and newer developments, with designs that respect neighbouring sightlines and boundaries. We can also guide you through Croydon-specific planning considerations before work begins.

Costs vary by size, specification and groundworks. As a guide, a small, well-built summer house can start from around £4,000–£7,000, while mid-size bespoke builds with better glazing and upgraded finishes often fall between £8,000–£15,000. Insulation, electrics, heating, and premium cladding can take larger projects to £16,000–£30,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most builds take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are ready. A simple structure with straightforward access may be completed in a week, while bespoke designs with foundations, insulation, electrics and interior finishing typically take longer. Timescales depend on ground conditions, drainage needs, the complexity of the roofline, and any made-to-order doors or glazing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, provided they meet rules on height, placement and how much of the garden is covered. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, flats, maisonettes, or if you’re in a conservation area. If you want a raised base, a larger footprint, or to use it as a fully serviced workspace, it’s worth checking early. We provide planning advice and can help you confirm requirements with Croydon Council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering structural build quality, installation and key construction elements such as fixings, weatherproofing and foundations (where we have installed them). Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items like doors, windows, membranes, cladding treatments and electrical components. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before work starts, along with care guidance to keep timber and finishes performing well over time.
We offer both traditional and contemporary designs, from classic timber tongue-and-groove styles to modern cladding with clean lines. Popular options include double-glazed doors, skylights, integrated storage, and veranda seating areas. You can choose insulation for year-round use, internal lining and flooring upgrades, plus electrics for lighting, sockets and data. We’ll help you select materials that suit your budget, maintenance preferences and how you’ll use the space.
