A well-designed summer house adds usable space without changing the feel of your garden. We build tailored structures across CR8, from compact reading rooms to fully insulated garden offices. Many clients find us after seeing our work near Purley Cross and along routes leading towards Purley Way. Every build starts with how you want to use the space, then we design around your garden’s layout and levels.
Purley’s leafy plots and larger detached homes often suit wider footprints, verandas and generous glazing. For 1930s properties and period homes in Purley Oaks, Kenley and Sanderstead, we match rooflines, cladding and trim so the new building complements the house. Where gardens slope towards the North Downs, we plan foundations carefully and keep access routes protected. The result is a summer house that feels considered, not dropped in.
Our process is clear: site visit, design options, specification, then a scheduled build with tidy working practices. We handle foundations, insulation options, electrics, interior finishing and practical planning advice, so there are no gaps between trades. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, high-quality joinery and a finish that lasts through British winters. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact from first sketch to final handover.
As summer houses builders in London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to Purley’s mix of level lawns and downland slopes near Riddlesdown. We plan access, materials delivery and parking so neighbours and driveways aren’t blocked. Ground conditions and drainage are checked before foundations go in, especially on longer gardens. We also guide you through Croydon council considerations and permitted development limits before you commit.

Costs vary with size, specification and groundworks. As a guide, a small timber summer house with basic foundations often starts around £6,000–£10,000. A larger bespoke build with insulation, electrics, upgraded glazing and interior finishing commonly falls in the £12,000–£25,000 range. Premium garden rooms with high-end cladding, heating and custom joinery can exceed £30,000. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most builds take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and specification are agreed. Smaller, simpler structures can be completed in under a week, while insulated garden rooms with electrics and interior finishing often take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on foundations, access, weather, bespoke joinery lead times and any additional works such as drainage or paving. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, especially when they’re single-storey, within height limits and positioned correctly in the garden. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, near boundaries, adding a veranda, or planning to use it as sleeping accommodation. We provide planning advice and check constraints relevant to the London Borough of Croydon before work begins, so you know where you stand.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty covering the build quality of the structure, including key elements such as framing, fixings and installation of components we supply and fit. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products like doors, windows, cladding systems and electrical components. We also provide clear aftercare guidance for timber treatment and ventilation to help your summer house stay stable, dry and looking its best.
You can choose from traditional timber styles with tongue-and-groove cladding, or contemporary designs with clean lines, composite cladding and larger glazing. Popular options include insulated walls and roofs, upgraded doors and windows, integrated electrics and lighting, and a fully finished interior with plasterboard or timber lining. We’ll help you balance looks, maintenance and budget, then tailor the layout to your garden and how you’ll use the space.
