Pergolas & Gazebos in Bromley
A pergola is an open timber (or similar) framed structure, usually with a slatted or partially open roof, built over a patio or walkway to provide partial shade and structure, while a gazebo is a fully-roofed freestanding garden structure — both can be supplied as a kit or built bespoke to fit a specific space.
In Bromley, that covers Beckenham, Orpington, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood, Hayes, Bickley. Bromley is one of the greenest London boroughs, with a historic High Street and residential areas ranging from Beckenham and Orpington's Victorian and interwar housing to the more rural character around Chislehurst and Hayes, close to the Kent border and within easy reach of our Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells teams.

Property styles in Bromley
Bromley's housing stock includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas near the town centre and in Beckenham, substantial interwar detached and semi-detached houses across Orpington, Petts Wood and Bickley, and larger period properties around Chislehurst and Hayes, many on generous plots suited to rear and double-storey extensions.
Planning considerations
Bromley Council (London Borough of Bromley) is the local planning authority. Chislehurst and parts of Beckenham and Hayes are conservation areas, and much of the borough's southern and eastern edge is designated Metropolitan Green Belt, which restricts new buildings and substantial additions beyond normal permitted development limits.

What's the difference between a pergola and a gazebo?
A pergola is typically an open-roofed structure — slatted, louvred or lattice — built over a patio or walkway to give partial shade and support for planting, while a gazebo is fully roofed and usually freestanding, offering more complete weather protection.
Is a kit pergola cheaper than a bespoke one?
Generally yes — a manufactured kit is designed to standard dimensions and is quicker to install, whereas a bespoke structure is designed and built to fit your exact space and specification, which takes more design and construction time and typically costs more.
