From compact reading rooms to fully equipped garden studios, we build summer houses that suit how New Cross homeowners live. Whether you’re near New Cross station or walking distance from Deptford Park, we’ll design a structure that fits your plot and complements your garden. Every build can include insulation, electrics, and interior finishing for a comfortable, practical space. We work across SE14 with a focus on premium materials and tidy sites.
New Cross has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries. We’re experienced at creating smart footprints that maximise usable space without overwhelming smaller plots in Deptford, Brockley and Peckham. If access is tight, we plan deliveries and component sizes accordingly. Traditional styles can match period brickwork, while contemporary designs suit modern extensions and refurbished flats.
We start with a site visit, measurements, and a design proposal covering foundations, insulation options, and electrical requirements. You’ll receive clear specifications, staged scheduling, and workmanship that prioritises durability and a high-end finish. Our team keeps neighbours in mind, controls noise and waste, and leaves the garden clean at handover. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, planning advice, and a build that feels considered from base to trim.
Gardens around Telegraph Hill and SE14 often have level changes, older paving, and mixed sub-bases, so we specify the right foundation type from the start. Access can be restricted behind terraces and converted flats, so we plan deliveries, parking, and neighbour-friendly working hours. We also factor in boundary lines and overlooking, which can influence window placement and roof height. If approvals are needed, our planning advice helps you navigate London Borough of Lewisham requirements.

Costs vary by size, specification, and access. As a guide, a quality timber summer house with basic foundations typically starts around £4,000–£8,000. Insulated garden rooms with electrics and interior finishing commonly fall between £10,000–£25,000+. Larger bespoke builds or premium cladding, glazing, and fitted storage can increase budgets. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey in SE14.
Most builds take 1–3 weeks on site once the design is agreed and materials are ordered. Smaller, simpler structures can be completed in a few days, while insulated rooms with electrics, plasterboard, flooring and bespoke joinery take longer. Timescales depend on foundation type, drying/curing time, access for deliveries, and any upgrades such as skylights or bi-fold doors. We confirm a schedule before work starts.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, especially when they’re single-storey, within height limits, and used as incidental garden space. However, rules can change for flats, listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re close to boundaries and want a taller design. We’ll advise on likely requirements, check constraints for your property, and recommend the right route—permitted development, lawful development certificate, or a planning application where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering structural integrity, fixings, and installation-related issues. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products such as doors, windows, membranes, and electrical components where relevant. The warranty is valid when the summer house is used as intended and maintained sensibly (for example, periodic timber treatment if specified). If anything needs attention, we respond quickly and keep the process straightforward.
You can choose traditional styles with timber cladding and classic windows, or contemporary designs with clean lines, composite cladding, and larger glazing. Popular upgrades include insulation packages, EPDM or felt roofing, skylights, integrated lighting and sockets, and interior finishing such as plasterboard and engineered flooring. We’ll guide you on the best options for your garden size, privacy needs, and intended use—office, studio, or relaxation space in the summer houses builders new cross area.
