From compact courtyards near Elephant Park to larger gardens around Kennington, we design and build summer houses that add usable space. Our team can create traditional timber styles or sleek contemporary designs to complement modern developments. We’re used to working close to Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre where access and deliveries need careful planning. If you’re in SE1 or SE17, we’ll handle the build from base to final finish.
Elephant & Castle includes everything from Victorian terraces to new-build apartments and modern high-rises, so no two gardens are the same. We regularly build in the summer houses builders elephant & castle area where plots can be narrow, overlooked, or split-level. For terraces in Walworth and Borough, we often recommend designs that maximise light while protecting privacy. For apartment gardens and podium spaces, we plan lighter structures and considerate installation routes.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then confirm foundations, drainage considerations and access. Next comes fabrication, installation, electrics (where required) and interior finishing, all managed by one team. You’ll get straightforward planning advice and a build schedule you can rely on. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, clear communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Access can be challenging around Strata Tower and the main transport hub, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Southwark gardens often have mixed ground and old hardstanding, so we assess levels and specify the right foundations. Where parking is restricted, we schedule works to minimise disruption and keep neighbours informed. As summer houses builders in London Borough of Southwark, we also guide you through local planning considerations and boundary constraints.

Costs vary by size, specification and access. As a guide, a basic timber summer house with simple base can start from £3,500–£7,000. Mid-range bespoke builds with stronger foundations, better cladding and electrics often fall around £8,000–£15,000. Insulated, fully finished garden rooms with premium glazing and interior lining typically range from £16,000–£30,000+. We’ll confirm options after a site survey in SE1/SE17.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks from start on site, depending on foundations, size and finishing. A small, pre-fabricated style on a prepared base can be installed in a few days, while bespoke builds with insulation, electrics and interior finishing take longer. Timescales are also affected by access (common around Elephant & Castle), weather, and whether any groundworks or drainage adjustments are needed. We provide a clear programme before work begins.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, but it depends on height, location, how much of the garden is covered, and whether the property is a flat, listed building or in a constrained area. If you’re close to boundaries or want a larger, insulated garden room, rules can be tighter. We provide planning advice, check likely requirements with Southwark guidance, and can help prepare drawings or details if an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity of the build, including key elements such as the frame, fixings and installation quality. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to specific products like doors, windows, membranes and electrical components. We also explain maintenance requirements (for example, timber treatments) to keep the structure performing well. If an issue arises, you’ll deal with one local team, not multiple contractors.
We build traditional styles with timber cladding and pitched roofs, or contemporary designs with clean lines, large glazing and modern finishes. Popular upgrades include insulation options (walls, floor and roof), double glazing, composite cladding, and integrated electrics for sockets, heating and lighting. Inside, we can add plasterboard, ply lining, flooring and storage. We’ll recommend materials based on your garden exposure, desired use, and the look of your property in Kennington or Walworth.
