From compact reading rooms to fully finished garden studios, we build summer houses that suit how you live. Our team regularly works around SW2, including homes near Streatham Hill station and Telford Park. Every build starts with a measured survey and a clear design brief, then we handle the structure, services and finishes. The result is a space that looks right in your garden and performs well in every season.
Streatham Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have long gardens and shared side access, so smart planning matters. We design to complement period brickwork and boundary lines while keeping the footprint practical. If you’re in Streatham, Tulse Hill or West Norwood, we’ll recommend layouts that maximise light without overlooking neighbours. We also offer insulation options for comfortable use beyond summer.
You’ll get a straightforward process: design, specification, foundations, build, electrics and interior finishing. We provide planning advice and check constraints early so there are no surprises. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, and we keep sites tidy with clear daily progress updates. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, crisp detailing and a premium finish that lasts.
Access and parking around Christchurch Road and near Streatham Hill Theatre can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many gardens sit on clay-heavy ground, so we specify suitable bases and drainage details. We’re familiar with Lambeth’s expectations for outbuildings, boundary heights and neighbour considerations. If your property is a conversion, we’ll also factor in shared freeholder rules and access routes.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by size, specification and access. As a guide, a small timber summer house with a solid base typically starts around £6,000–£10,000. Mid-size bespoke builds with insulation, electrics and upgraded glazing often fall between £12,000–£25,000. Larger garden rooms with higher-end interior finishing can be £25,000–£45,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SW2.
Most projects take 2–6 weeks from start on site, depending on foundations, complexity and finishes. A straightforward build with a pre-agreed design may be completed in 2–3 weeks, while insulated garden rooms with electrics, plasterboard, flooring and bespoke joinery can take 4–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, drying times for bases, and any planning or party-wall considerations.
Many summer houses and garden rooms can be built under permitted development, provided they meet limits on height, placement and overall garden coverage. However, rules can change for flats and mansion conversions, listed buildings, or where there are specific restrictions. We offer planning advice, check the key criteria before design is finalised, and can recommend when a lawful development certificate is sensible for peace of mind.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our summer house builds, covering structural integrity, installation quality and weatherproofing details when maintained correctly. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items such as doors, windows, roofing membranes and electrical components. We also carry appropriate insurance and provide clear handover notes on ventilation, coatings and ongoing care to keep your building performing well long-term.
We build everything from traditional timber summer houses with classic glazing bars to contemporary designs with clean lines and large doors. Popular options include composite cladding, cedar, felt or EPDM roofing, and upgraded insulation for year-round comfort. Inside, we can fit plasterboard, lighting, sockets, storage and durable flooring. We’ll guide you through layouts, finishes and ventilation so the space suits your use and budget.
