From SE19 gardens near Norwood Grove Park to plots backing onto Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, we build summer houses that suit how you actually live. Whether you want a quiet office, a hobby studio or a family retreat, we tailor the layout, glazing and storage. Our team handles everything from foundations to electrics and final finishing. You get a space that looks right in the garden and performs in every season.
Norwood Grove’s Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions often come with long, characterful gardens and shared access routes. We design around mature planting, boundary constraints and existing patios, keeping disruption low for you and your neighbours. In Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace and South Norwood, we regularly work with tight side returns and stepped levels. That local experience helps us position the building for light, privacy and practical access.
Our process starts with a site survey, clear design options and an itemised specification, so there are no surprises later. We set out accurately, build robust bases, then complete the structure, insulation options, electrics and interior finishing to a high standard. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact, tidy working practices and a schedule you can rely on. Homeowners choose us because we build to last and stand behind our work.
In the London Borough of Croydon, access and parking can be restricted on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Gardens around Beaulieu Heights and Upper Norwood can include changes in level and variable soil, which is why we assess drainage and specify the right foundation type. We also account for boundary lines, overlooking and existing trees when positioning doors and glazing. Where needed, we provide planning advice and help you prepare the right information.




Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with size, specification and groundworks. As a guide, a small timber summer house with basic base and fit-out may start around £4,000–£7,000. A larger, insulated garden room with electrics, upgraded glazing and a higher-end interior finish is often £10,000–£25,000+. Sloping gardens, difficult access in SE19, and bespoke joinery can increase the budget.
Most builds take 1–3 weeks on site once the design is agreed and materials are ready. A simple structure on a straightforward base can be quicker, while insulated builds with electrics, plasterboarding and detailed interior finishing take longer. Timescales are affected by foundation requirements, access for deliveries, and weather. We provide a clear schedule and keep you updated at each stage.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, especially when they’re within height limits and positioned appropriately in the garden. However, rules can change with listed buildings, flats/period conversions, or if the structure is close to boundaries or used as separate accommodation. We offer planning advice, check constraints, and can recommend when it’s sensible to confirm details with the London Borough of Croydon before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering the core build elements such as structural assembly, fixings and installation standards. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items like doors, windows, roofing membranes and electrical components. We also give clear care guidance for timber and finishes, so your summer house stays looking sharp. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and put it right.
You can choose traditional timber summer houses, sleek contemporary garden rooms, or hybrid designs with large glazing and clean lines. Popular options include insulated walls and roof, EPDM or felt roofing, composite cladding, double glazing, and integrated electrics for lighting and sockets. Inside, we can add plasterboard, panelling, flooring and built-in storage. We’ll help you balance style, durability and budget for your Norwood Grove garden.
