Soho gardens and courtyards may be compact, but they can still host a beautifully built summer house. We design and construct premium timber buildings that suit the pace and style of W1 living, from quiet workspaces to entertaining rooms. Whether you’re near Soho Square or walking distance from Carnaby Street, we plan layouts that maximise usable floor area without overwhelming the garden. Expect crisp detailing, tidy installation and finishes that feel like part of the property.
Homes around Soho include Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and smart commercial conversions, often with shared boundaries and sensitive sightlines. We’re used to working with limited access routes, basement-level gardens and tight service runs for electrics. Our designs respect period proportions where needed, yet can introduce contemporary lines for modern refurbishments. For clients close to Covent Garden or Fitzrovia, we also factor in noise, privacy and overlooked plots when positioning windows and doors.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear specification, then confirm foundations, drainage considerations and cabling routes before build day. You’ll get planning advice, a realistic programme and a written scope so there are no surprises. Our team protects paving, planting and neighbouring boundaries, and we keep deliveries coordinated for busy streets. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, responsive communication and a finish that looks intentional from every angle.
Soho sites often involve tight access, controlled parking and strict delivery windows, so we plan logistics carefully. In the City of Westminster, boundary lines and overlooking can be sensitive, especially with mansion flats and conversions, so we design for privacy and compliance. Ground conditions vary across W1, and we select the right foundation approach for stability and longevity. We also help you navigate council expectations and neighbour considerations before work begins.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Soho, a quality summer house typically ranges from £6,000–£12,000 for smaller builds, and £12,000–£25,000+ for larger, fully finished garden rooms. Costs vary with size, bespoke joinery, insulation level, glazing, roof type, electrics and access constraints common in W1. Foundations and interior finishing can also shift the budget. We provide an itemised estimate after a site survey and design brief.
Most projects take 2–6 weeks from agreed design to completion, with on-site installation commonly 3–10 working days depending on complexity. Timescales are affected by bespoke manufacturing, insulation and interior finishing, electrical works, and the foundation type required. Access and delivery restrictions around Soho can add coordination time. We’ll confirm a realistic programme and keep you updated at each stage.
Many summer houses can fall under permitted development, but rules depend on height, placement, total outbuilding coverage and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area—both common considerations in City of Westminster. If you plan electrics, a bathroom, or regular sleeping use, requirements may change. We provide planning advice, check constraints early, and can help prepare drawings or information if an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity of the build, including key construction elements such as framing, fixings and weatherproofing when maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for components like doors, windows, membranes and electrical products. We also document the specification and installation details, so you have clear records. If an issue arises, we respond quickly to inspect and resolve it.
You can choose from traditional timber summer houses with classic glazing, or contemporary designs with clean lines and large doors. Popular options include composite cladding, cedar, felt or EPDM roofs, double glazing, upgraded insulation, and premium interior finishing such as ply lining, plasterboard and painted trims. We’ll help you select materials that suit your property style and maintenance preferences, then tailor the layout to how you’ll use the space.
