A well-built summer house adds practical space for work, hobbies, or entertaining without moving home. In Lewisham, we create bespoke builds that complement your garden and lifestyle, whether you’re near Lewisham station or enjoying weekends at Mountsfield Park. From traditional timber charm to crisp contemporary lines, we tailor every detail. We also advise on placement, privacy, and access so the finished building feels natural in your plot.
Homes across SE13 range from Victorian terraces to Edwardian houses and newer developments, and each brings different constraints for garden builds. Narrow side access in Ladywell or Hither Green often calls for smarter material handling and modular construction. In Blackheath and Lee, we frequently design summer houses to respect sightlines and mature planting. Our team plans around existing patios, drainage runs, and boundary conditions to avoid surprises mid-build.
We start with a site visit, measured survey, and design options, then confirm foundations, insulation choices, and electrical requirements. You’ll get a clear scope of works, staged schedule, and tidy site management throughout. We use proven construction methods, quality fixings, and weather protection to keep the structure stable and dry. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, premium finishes, and dependable aftercare.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham can vary from clay-heavy ground to made-up areas near older terraces, so we specify the right base and drainage approach. Access and parking can be tight around Lewisham Shopping Centre and busy residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also factor in boundary lines, tree roots, and shared access paths common to period homes. Where permissions apply, we provide planning advice and help you stay compliant.

Costs vary by size, specification, and groundworks. As a guide, a small timber summer house with basic foundations often starts around £4,000–£7,000. Mid-size bespoke builds with insulation, upgraded windows/doors and electrics commonly fall in the £8,000–£15,000 range. Larger, fully finished garden rooms with premium cladding, heating-ready electrics and interior lining can be £16,000–£30,000+. A site survey in SE13 helps confirm the right budget.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on foundations, size, and finishing. A simpler build with a straightforward base can be completed in about a week, while insulated builds with electrics and interior finishing typically take 2–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in terraced streets, drying time for bases, and any bespoke joinery. We provide a clear programme before work begins and keep you updated daily.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, provided they meet limits on height, position and overall garden coverage. However, rules can change if the building is close to boundaries, intended as sleeping accommodation, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. We offer planning advice and check key constraints relevant to the London Borough of Lewisham before you commit.
