A well-built summer house adds year-round space for work, hobbies or entertaining without moving home. Our team regularly works around SE11, with projects near The Oval cricket ground and Kennington Park. From compact retreats to fully fitted garden studios, we tailor every detail to your plot and lifestyle. Expect clean lines, solid structure and a finish that suits your home.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often come with long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries. We design to maximise usable floor area while keeping access routes practical through side returns or tight passages. Whether you’re in Kennington, Vauxhall or Stockwell, we match materials and proportions to period features and existing landscaping. Contemporary designs also sit beautifully behind terraces when planned with care.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear design proposal, then handle foundations, structure, insulation options, electrics and interior finishing. You’ll get a written scope, agreed schedule and tidy working practices to minimise disruption. Our builds are completed to a high standard, with planning advice included where required. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication and dependable workmanship from start to finish.
Gardens around Oval often have restricted access, mature planting and close neighbours, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. Ground conditions can vary, so we specify the right base—concrete slab or raised system—after inspection. We also factor in Lambeth council guidance, boundary rules and overlooking considerations. If parking is limited near Oval tube station, we schedule logistics to keep the build moving.

Costs vary by size, specification and access, but most projects in the Oval area sit between £6,000–£15,000 for a quality timber summer house with solid foundations. Insulated, electrified garden rooms with internal lining and premium doors/windows commonly range from £12,000–£30,000+. Bespoke layouts, bathrooms, extensive glazing and tricky access can increase costs. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site survey.
A straightforward build typically takes 1–2 weeks on site once materials are ready. Larger bespoke garden rooms with insulation, electrics and interior finishing often take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on groundwork requirements, curing time for concrete, access constraints typical of Victorian terraces, and the level of fit-out (plastering, flooring, joinery). We agree a schedule in advance and keep you updated throughout the build.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, especially when they’re single-storey, within height limits and positioned appropriately in the garden. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, flats, or where previous permissions restrict outbuildings—situations that can apply around Oval’s period properties. We provide planning advice, check the key constraints, and recommend when a lawful development certificate or full application is sensible before work starts.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty covering structural installation, including the base, framing and weatherproofing details, when maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items such as doors, windows, roofing membranes and electrical components. We also provide clear care guidance for timber finishes and ventilation to help prevent moisture issues. If anything isn’t right after completion, we respond quickly and put it right.
We offer traditional styles with tongue-and-groove cladding, contemporary designs with clean lines, and fully bespoke layouts to suit your garden. Popular upgrades include insulated walls/roof, EPDM or felt roofing, aluminium or timber doors, double glazing, and fitted electrics for heating and data. Interior finishing can range from ply lining to plastered, paint-ready walls with flooring. We guide you through options to balance aesthetics, comfort and budget.
