A well-built summer house turns a South Croydon garden into a practical workspace, studio or family retreat. We design and build to suit your plot, whether you’re near South Croydon station or backing onto greener edges by Croham Hurst Woods. From initial layout ideas to the final coat of paint, every detail is planned for comfort and durability. We work across CR2 with tidy, considerate site management.
South Croydon’s leafy streets include large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, each with different garden proportions and access points. We regularly build for homeowners in Sanderstead, Purley and wider Croydon where side access can be tight and boundaries need careful setting out. Our designs respect neighbouring sightlines while maximising light and usable internal space. The result is a structure that looks like it belongs with your home’s character.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear specification covering foundations, insulation options, electrics and interior finishing. You’ll receive a written scope, realistic timescales and guidance on the best build method for your garden. We coordinate the full build, keep disruption low, and leave the site clean and secure each day. Local homeowners choose us for craftsmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon often sit on mixed clay soils, so we specify the right foundation type to reduce seasonal movement. Parking and delivery access can vary around CR2, especially near South Croydon station, so we plan logistics and materials drop-offs in advance. We also account for mature trees and roots common near green spaces such as Lloyd Park. Every build is set out carefully to protect boundaries and keep neighbours happy.

Costs vary with size, specification and groundworks. As a guide, a quality bespoke summer house often starts from £6,000–£10,000 for a small, uninsulated build. Insulated garden rooms with electrics, upgraded glazing, and internal lining commonly fall in the £12,000–£25,000 range. Larger, fully finished spaces with heating, premium cladding and more complex foundations can be £25,000–£45,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are ready. A straightforward timber summer house on a prepared base can be completed in around 5–8 working days. Insulation, electrics, plasterboarding, flooring and bespoke joinery extend the programme, typically to 2–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, lead times for doors/windows, and whether new foundations or drainage adjustments are required. We confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, provided they meet rules on height, positioning and how much of the garden is covered. However, constraints can apply in conservation areas, for listed buildings, or where there are restrictive covenants. If you want a larger structure, a veranda, or to place it close to a boundary, the rules may change. We give planning advice, check the key criteria, and can help you prepare information for Croydon Council if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering the structural build, installation and associated construction details such as fixings and weatherproofing. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like doors, windows, membranes and electrical components. To keep your warranty valid, we specify suitable materials for exposure and advise on maintenance such as staining/painting schedules and ventilation. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and aim to resolve it with minimal disruption.
We offer bespoke designs in traditional styles (tongue-and-groove timber, Georgian proportions) and contemporary designs with clean lines and large glazing. Popular cladding choices include treated softwood, cedar, composite boards and render-style panels. You can add insulation, upgraded roofing, skylights, bifold doors, and tailored interior finishing such as plasterboard, panelling, built-in storage and durable flooring. We’ll recommend options based on how you’ll use the space and the look of your home.
