A well-built summer house adds year-round space for work, hobbies or family downtime without moving home. We design and build tailored structures for SE13 gardens, balancing style, practicality and long-term durability. Many clients are close to Hither Green station or enjoy weekends in Mountsfield Park and want a garden room that suits their lifestyle. From first sketch to final finishing, we manage the full build.
Hither Green is a popular family area with excellent schools and a strong mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis. These gardens often have side access constraints, established planting and boundary considerations, so the footprint and build method matter. We’re used to working around mature trees, shared fences and narrow pathways common in streets leading towards Lee and Catford. The result is a summer house that feels proportionate to the property and easy to use.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear options and a written specification covering foundations, structure, insulation and electrics. We keep disruption low with tidy working practices, scheduled deliveries and careful waste removal. Every build is quality-checked at key stages, and we explain maintenance so your timber stays protected. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable timelines and consistently high finishing standards.
As summer houses builders in London Borough of Lewisham, we plan builds around local access, parking and delivery restrictions, especially on residential streets near Hither Green station. Ground conditions can vary from firm subsoil to softer, wetter areas, so we specify the right base and drainage approach. We also consider boundary lines, neighbouring sightlines and existing patios typical of Victorian and 1930s plots. If planning or permitted development questions arise, we guide you through the checks before work begins.

Costs vary by size, specification and access, but most Hither Green projects fall into clear bands. A small, uninsulated summer house with basic foundations typically starts around £4,000–£7,000. Mid-size bespoke builds with insulation, quality cladding and electrics are often £8,000–£15,000. Larger, fully finished garden rooms with upgraded glazing, heating provision and premium interiors can be £16,000–£30,000+.
Many builds take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are ready, depending on size and complexity. Simple traditional styles can be completed faster, while contemporary designs with insulation, electrics and interior finishing take longer. Timescales are also affected by groundworks, drainage needs, and access through terraced side passages common in SE13. We provide a realistic programme and keep you updated as each stage is completed.
Many summer houses can be built 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 conditions were added to the property’s planning history. We offer planning advice, check the key limits, and can recommend when it’s sensible to confirm with Lewisham’s planning team before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity for the summer house build, including the base, framing and installation. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to specific products such as doors, windows, membranes, insulation and electrical components. We also give clear care guidance for timber finishes to help prevent weathering over time. If an issue arises, you’ll have a straightforward point of contact and a prompt resolution process.
We build everything from traditional timber summer houses to sleek contemporary garden rooms. Popular choices include shiplap or composite-style cladding, felt or EPDM roofing, and double-glazed doors for comfort and security. Insulation options can be added to walls, floor and roof for year-round use, with electrics for lighting, sockets and data. We help you choose a design that suits your home’s style and your garden’s layout.
