Crystal Palace homeowners love making the most of their elevated gardens and long views, and a well-built summer house is a practical way to do it. We design and build tailored structures that suit your lifestyle—home office, hobby room, gym or calm retreat. From Crystal Palace Park to the famous Dinosaur statues, we’ve worked across SE19 and SE20 with designs that complement local character. Every build starts with careful site checks and clear options, not guesswork.
The Crystal Palace area includes Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with mature planting and level changes. We’re used to tight side access in Upper Norwood, sloping plots near Gipsy Hill, and gardens that need a tidy, considerate approach. Whether you want a traditional style to match period features or a contemporary design to modernise the space, we tailor proportions, rooflines and glazing. Our team can also advise on insulation options so the room works comfortably beyond summer.
You’ll get a straightforward process: design consultation, specification, foundations, build, then interior finishing and electrics arranged to current standards. We provide planning advice and check constraints before work begins, so there are no surprises later. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption and we keep the site clean and secure each day. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, high-end workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Crystal Palace spans borough boundaries, so we’re familiar with requirements across Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. Many streets have limited parking and narrow access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. Ground conditions can vary with elevation and older garden walls, which is why we prioritise correct base preparation and drainage. If your property is a period conversion, we’ll keep the look sympathetic and the footprint efficient.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by size, specification and access, but most homeowners in SE19–SE20 budget from around £6,000–£12,000 for a quality timber summer house with solid base. Insulated, electrified garden rooms with upgraded glazing and interior finishing commonly fall in the £12,000–£30,000+ range. Bespoke contemporary designs, complex foundations on slopes, and premium cladding can increase the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
A straightforward build can take 1–2 weeks once materials are ready, while larger insulated garden rooms with electrics and interior finishing typically take 3–6 weeks. Timescales depend on groundwork and curing time for foundations, custom joinery lead times, weather, and access for moving materials through side passages. If you’re adding multiple power points, heating, or bespoke glazing, allow extra time for first-fix and second-fix electrics and final snagging.
Many garden buildings are allowed under permitted development, but rules depend on height, placement, total garden coverage and whether the property is in a conservation area. Because Crystal Palace sits across several councils, requirements can differ between Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. We offer planning advice, check the key constraints, and can recommend the safest design approach. If permission is needed, we’ll help you prepare the right information.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering the build quality of the structure, base preparation and installation details such as fixings and weatherproofing. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items like doors, windows, cladding systems and electrical components. We also carry appropriate insurance and complete a thorough handover, including care guidance. If any issues arise related to our installation, we respond promptly and put them right.
You can choose traditional timber styles with tongue-and-groove boarding, or contemporary designs with clean lines, large glazing and modern cladding. Popular upgrades include insulated walls/roof, double glazing, EPDM or felt roofing, oak or composite decking, and interior finishing such as plasterboard, painted timber lining, flooring and built-in storage. We’ll guide you on the best options for year-round comfort, maintenance levels and how the design will sit alongside your home’s period features.
