From Greenwich Park to the riverside near the Cutty Sark, homeowners in SE10 are making more of their outdoor space with a purpose-built summer house. We create bespoke designs that suit how you’ll use the building—home office, gym, studio or entertaining space. Choose traditional styles to complement period gardens, or contemporary designs for a clean, modern look. Every build is planned for comfort, durability and a smart finish.
Greenwich properties range from Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas to modern waterfront apartments, each with different access and garden layouts. In Blackheath and Maze Hill, we often work with mature planting, tighter side returns and sensitive boundaries. For newer homes around Deptford and Charlton, clients frequently want sleek cladding, large glazing and discreet electrics. Our designs respect the character of the property while improving day-to-day living.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then confirm foundations, insulation options and electrical requirements before work begins. You’ll get a written schedule, transparent scope, and a dedicated point of contact throughout the build. We protect lawns and paving, keep neighbours in mind, and leave the site clean at handover. Local clients choose us because we combine craftsmanship with dependable project management and a 10-year warranty.
Across the Royal Borough of Greenwich, ground conditions can vary from firm made-up ground to areas needing deeper footings, so we specify foundations to suit your plot. Access can be tight in streets near Maze Hill and Blackheath, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in boundary lines, overlooking, and heritage sensitivities where relevant. If permissions are needed, we provide practical planning advice and supporting details.

Costs vary with size, specification and access. As a guide, a small timber summer house with basic foundations and simple electrics often starts around £6,000–£12,000. Insulated garden rooms with higher-grade cladding, double glazing, more sockets and interior finishing commonly fall between £12,000–£30,000+. Bespoke architectural designs or larger footprints can exceed this, especially where groundworks are complex in SE10.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are ready. A straightforward build with prepared ground and minimal electrics can be completed in about a week, while insulated, fully finished garden rooms typically take 2–3 weeks. Timescales depend on foundations curing time, bespoke joinery, glazing lead times, and any additional works such as decking, paths or drainage adjustments.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, but rules depend on height, location in the garden, proximity to boundaries, and whether the building is used as ancillary space. Restrictions can be tighter for listed buildings or conservation areas, which can apply in parts of Greenwich. We’ll check the basics with you, advise on what’s likely, and help you prepare the information needed if an application is required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering structural build quality, fixings and installation standards when the summer house is used and maintained as intended. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items such as doors, windows, cladding products and electrical components. We also walk you through care and ventilation to protect timber and finishes. Any snagging identified at handover is addressed promptly.
You can choose from traditional timber styles, modern composite or stained cladding, and contemporary designs with large glazing and slim frames. We offer insulation options for walls, roof and floor, plus electrics for lighting, heating and data. Internally, popular finishes include plasterboard and paint, timber lining, laminate or engineered flooring, and built-in storage. We’ll recommend options that suit your budget, garden exposure and how you plan to use the space.
