A well-built summer house adds usable space without the upheaval of an extension—ideal for work, hobbies or a quiet retreat. We design and construct tailored garden buildings across Streatham Hill and Streatham Common, with options ranging from classic timber styles to sleek contemporary forms. Whether you’re near Streatham High Road or a short walk from Rookery Gardens, we’ll plan a build that suits your plot and lifestyle. Every project is finished with the details that make it feel like a real room, not a shed.
Streatham’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and modern apartments often comes with long gardens, side returns and shared access routes. We’re used to working with narrow pathways, mature planting and boundary constraints common around SW16 and SW2. Our designs respect period proportions where needed, while still offering modern performance through insulation and neat interior finishing. If you want a garden office that looks right behind a terrace—or a contemporary studio for a newer block—we’ll match the architecture.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then confirm foundations, drainage considerations and cable routes before work begins. You’ll get practical planning advice, transparent staging, and tidy working practices from start to handover. Our builds include proper base construction, weatherproofing, and safe electrics installed to current standards. Local homeowners choose us for consistent communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Many Streatham plots sit on clay-heavy ground, so we specify the right base and drainage approach to reduce movement and damp risk. Access can be tight around terraces and mansion blocks, and parking near Streatham High Road can be restricted, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. As summer houses builders streatham area homeowners recommend, we design around boundary lines, trees and existing patios without compromising structure. We also provide planning guidance aligned with London Borough of Lambeth requirements.

Costs vary with size, specification and access. As a guide, a quality small-to-mid summer house often starts around £6,000–£12,000, while insulated garden rooms with electrics and higher-end interior finishing commonly fall between £12,000–£25,000+. Bespoke designs, larger footprints, groundworks, and premium cladding or glazing can increase the budget. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey in SW16 or SW2.
Most builds take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are ready, depending on size and specification. A simple traditional style on a straightforward base can be quicker, while insulated structures with electrics, plasterboard, flooring and detailed joinery take longer. Timescales are also affected by access, ground conditions, and lead times for bespoke windows/doors. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many summer houses fall under permitted development, especially when they’re single-storey, within height limits, and positioned appropriately in the garden. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats, maisonettes, or properties in conservation areas, and there are limits on overall garden coverage. We give planning advice, check the key constraints for your site in the London Borough of Lambeth, and recommend when a formal application is sensible before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering key elements such as the base, structural framing, and installation quality. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items like doors, windows, membranes, and electrical components. To protect the build long-term, we specify suitable weatherproofing, fixings and ventilation, and we’ll explain any maintenance requirements for timber finishes. Warranty details are confirmed in writing with your quote.
We offer traditional timber summer houses, contemporary garden rooms, and fully bespoke designs to suit your property.

Inside, we can add insulation, plasterboard, flooring, storage and painted finishes. As summer houses builders in London Borough of Lambeth, we help you choose options that fit your garden, budget and intended use.
