A well-built summer house turns a Kingston garden into a practical retreat for work, hobbies or entertaining. We create bespoke designs that suit everything from compact plots in KT1 to larger gardens around Surbiton. Whether you want a traditional timber look or a crisp contemporary design, we handle the full build. Many clients ask for layouts that make the most of the riverside light near Kingston Bridge and the surrounding streets.
Kingston upon Thames features Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, each with different access and garden levels. We regularly design around mature planting, boundary constraints and existing patios, keeping the finish sympathetic to period homes. For newer properties, we can match clean lines and modern cladding styles for a seamless look. Our team is local enough to visit quickly and keep your project moving—around 30 minutes from our Norbury base.
From the first site survey to the final snagging, we keep everything clear and organised: design, foundations, structure, insulation options, electrics and interior finishing. You’ll get practical planning advice and a build schedule that suits your household. We protect lawns and pathways, manage waste responsibly, and keep neighbours considered with tidy working practices. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a finish that lasts.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, gardens can vary from riverside soils to firmer, compacted ground in older plots, so we specify foundations accordingly. Access and parking can be tight near busy routes and shopping areas such as the Bentall Centre, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for boundary lines, mature trees and shared access paths common in Victorian and Edwardian streets. Our approach keeps the build compliant, tidy and suited to local property character.

Costs vary with size, specification and site access. As a guide, a small, uninsulated timber summer house can start from around £4,000–£8,000. Mid-range insulated builds with electrics and better glazing often fall between £10,000–£20,000. Larger garden rooms with premium cladding, full interior finishing and heating can be £20,000–£40,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A simple build on a prepared base can be completed in about a week, while insulated structures with electrics, plasterboard, flooring and joinery typically take longer. Timescales depend on foundations, drying/curing time, access for deliveries, and any bespoke joinery or glazing. We confirm a realistic programme before work begins.
Many summer houses are permitted development, provided they meet limits on height, placement and use (for example, not being used as a separate dwelling). However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where previous permissions restrict outbuildings. We’ll advise on what’s likely to apply and can help you check requirements with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before you commit to a design.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the structural build and installation elements we supply, giving you long-term peace of mind. This covers issues arising from fitting or construction defects, such as structural movement due to inadequate installation or poor fixing methods. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like doors, windows, roofing membranes and electrical components. We also carry out a thorough handover and snagging process.
You can choose traditional styles with timber cladding and pitched roofs, or contemporary designs with clean lines, large glazing and modern finishes. Popular options include composite or cedar-style cladding, EPDM or felt roofing, upgraded insulation, and internal linings such as plasterboard, tongue-and-groove or panel systems. We can include electrics for lighting and sockets, plus flooring and built-in storage. We’ll guide you to options that suit your garden, budget and intended use.
