Pergolas & Gazebos in Croydon
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.

Property styles in Croydon
Housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre and South Croydon, through interwar semis across Addiscombe, Shirley and Thornton Heath, to larger detached houses in Purley, Coulsdon and Sanderstead. Loft conversions and rear extensions are common on the terraced and semi-detached stock, while the larger plots further south suit more substantial extension and outbuilding projects.
Planning considerations
Croydon Council (London Borough of Croydon) is the local planning authority. Several residential areas, including parts of South Croydon, Coulsdon and Addiscombe, are conservation areas, and parts of the borough's southern edge fall within the Metropolitan Green Belt, which affects extensions and new structures. As with all London boroughs, permitted development rights can also be more restricted on flats and some converted properties.

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.
