About Pergolas
What Are Pergolas?
A pergola brings height, structure and a sense of enclosure to your garden without closing it in. Whether you want a shaded seating area, a frame for climbing plants, a walkway, or a focal point over an outdoor kitchen, we design and build bespoke pergolas in oak, softwood and contemporary steel-and-timber combinations — properly footed, beautifully proportioned and built to last.

FAQs
Pergolas — Frequently Asked Questions
Do pergolas need planning permission?
Most freestanding pergolas under 2.5m don't need planning permission, but rules vary. We advise on your specific situation during the free site survey.
Can a pergola have a roof or shade?
Yes — we can design pergolas to accept retractable canopies, louvred roofs, shade sails or climbing plants, depending on the level of shelter you want.
How long will a timber pergola last?
Green oak can last 50+ years. Pressure-treated softwood properly maintained should last 15-25 years. Cedar and hardwoods sit comfortably between the two.
How much does a pergola cost?
A bespoke timber pergola typically starts from around £1,500–£4,000 depending on size, timber and complexity, with oak or large steel-and-timber structures costing more. Your free quotation gives an exact, itemised price.
How long does installation take?
Most pergolas are built in 2–4 days depending on size and design. Larger or multi-bay structures with canopies or lighting take a little longer — we'll include a clear timeframe in your quote.
How do I maintain a timber pergola?
Softwood pergolas benefit from re-staining or repainting every 2–3 years; green oak and cedar need little more than an occasional clean and are best left to weather naturally. We'll advise on the right care for your timber at handover.
