Pimlico’s garden squares and riverside outlooks deserve outdoor buildings that feel considered, not cookie-cutter. Whether you’re near Tate Britain or a short walk from Pimlico tube station, we create summer houses that add usable space without overwhelming the garden. Expect clean detailing, durable materials and a build that respects neighbouring properties. We can also advise on insulation and electrics for year-round comfort.
Homes across SW1 include Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, each with different access and layout constraints. We regularly work with long, narrow gardens, raised patios and shared rear access routes common around Dolphin Square and nearby streets. Our designs can be tailored for discreet storage, a calm home office or a hobby studio that complements existing brickwork and planting. If you’re in Westminster, Victoria, Chelsea or Vauxhall, we’ll match the style to your setting.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss uses and check practicalities such as levels, drainage and access for materials. Your summer house is then built on the right foundations, finished internally to your specification, and fitted with safe electrics by qualified trades. We keep the site tidy, communicate clearly, and schedule deliveries to minimise disruption. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent options and a 10-year warranty.
Pimlico sites often mean restricted access, controlled parking and close neighbours, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions can vary, and we choose foundations to suit levels, drainage and load. We also factor in party wall considerations and boundary lines typical of mansion blocks and period conversions. If required, we provide planning advice aligned with City of Westminster expectations before work begins.

Costs in Pimlico vary with size, specification and access. As a guide, a small, uninsulated timber summer house may start around £4,000–£7,000 installed. Insulated garden rooms with electrics, better glazing, upgraded cladding and interior finishing often fall between £10,000–£25,000+. Complex foundations, difficult access in SW1, or premium contemporary designs can increase the budget.
Most builds take 1–3 weeks from groundworks to final finishing, depending on size and specification. A simple structure on prepared ground can be quicker, while insulated builds with electrics, plasterboard, flooring and bespoke joinery take longer. Timescales are also affected by access for materials, curing time for bases, and any made-to-order doors, windows or cladding. We provide a clear schedule before starting.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, particularly when they’re within height limits and used as incidental garden buildings. However, rules can change with listed buildings, conservation areas, flats/maisonettes, or if the structure is positioned close to boundaries. In the City of Westminster we check the key constraints, advise on likely requirements, and can help you prepare information for the council if an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural installation, including the build assembly and how the structure is fixed to its base. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items such as doors, windows, roofing membranes and electrical components. We also explain maintenance requirements (for example, timber treatments) to keep the finish performing well. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and put it right.
We offer traditional timber summer houses, modern composite-clad studios and contemporary designs with large glazing. Popular options include insulated walls and roof, EPDM or felt roofing, double glazing, oak or cedar detailing, and interior finishing such as plasterboard, flooring and fitted storage. Electrics can include lighting, sockets and heating provision. We guide you through choices based on how you’ll use the space and your garden’s style.
