From compact studios to larger entertaining spaces, every build is planned around how you’ll use it. Expect tidy workmanship, clear communication and a premium result.
Shortlands’ quiet, affluent character and excellent rail links mean many homeowners want flexible space for work, fitness or guests. We regularly design around large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-loved 1930s properties, ensuring the summer house complements the architecture and garden layout. Whether you prefer traditional styles with timber detailing or a crisp contemporary design, we’ll match proportions, sightlines and materials. We also factor in privacy and boundaries typical of established Bromley plots.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and design options, followed by a detailed specification for foundations, insulation and electrics. We manage groundworks, base construction, structure, roof, doors/windows and interior finishing, keeping disruption low and the site secure. You’ll get planning advice where needed, plus a clear programme and staged sign-offs. Local homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, premium materials and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Access and parking can be tight on residential roads around Shortlands station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully.
