Outdoor Kitchens Built in Chesham

We design and build outdoor kitchens in Chesham, from Newtown and Waterside to Pond Park, Chessmount, Hilltop and the villages of Ley Hill and Chartridge.

Long, narrow gardens behind terraced streets suit a compact kitchen close to the house, with a garden BBQ, a worktop and storage in a neat run.

We can add cover overhead, lighting and outdoor sockets, fitted by qualified electricians.

Because we build whole gardens, the patio, planting and seating come from the same team as the kitchen.

The River Chess rises in Lowndes Park, and both the old town and Chesham Bois are conservation areas.

Ideas

What Goes into an Outdoor Kitchen?

Every garden kitchen is built to suit the space and the way you cook. Most bring together a few of these.

  • Outdoor BBQ

    The heart of most outdoor kitchens: a gas or charcoal garden BBQ set into the units, at a comfortable height, with space either side to prepare and serve.

  • Units and worktops

    Units clad in timber, brick or stone to match the garden, with weatherproof worktops and cupboards for tools, plates and fuel.

  • Sink and fridge

    A built-in sink and fridge mean fewer trips to the house, so you can stay with your guests while you cook.

  • Cover overhead

    A pergola or louvred roof over the kitchen keeps the rain and sun off, so you can cook whatever the weather. See our pergolas.

  • Lighting and power

    Task lights over the worktop, soft lights around the seating and outdoor sockets, fitted by qualified electricians. See our garden lighting.

  • Seating and dining

    A dining table, a sofa area or a built-in bench close to the kitchen, so cooking and eating happen in the same place.

Design and build

Built as Part of the Garden

A new outdoor kitchen works best when it is planned with the patio, the cover overhead and the lighting, rather than added on later.

  1. DesignWe design a functional outdoor kitchen around how you cook and entertain and what you need from it, so it is tailor-made for your garden.
  2. The baseA solid, level base, usually part of a new patio or deck, so the worktops stay true.
  3. The kitchenWe build the units, clad them and fit the worktops, the BBQ, the sink and the fridge.
  4. Power and lightingSockets and lighting, fitted and tested by qualified electricians.
  5. FinishingCover overhead, seating and planting, so the kitchen sits in a garden you want to spend time in.

FAQ

Outdoor Kitchen Questions from Chesham

Can you fit an outdoor kitchen in a steep Chesham garden?

Yes. Chesham climbs the Chess valley, so we cut a level terrace for the kitchen, close to the house, with steps to the rest of the garden.

Does the clay on Chesham’s hilltops affect an outdoor kitchen?

Clay moves as it wets and dries, so on the hilltops the kitchen needs a deeper, solid base to stay level.

Do you build outdoor kitchens in the villages around Chesham?

Yes. As well as Chesham itself, we cover Newtown, Chessmount, Hilltop, Great Hivings, Pond Park, Botley, Lye Green, Waterside, Townsend and Asheridge Vale, and the rest of the HP5 postcode area.

How long does it take to build an outdoor kitchen in Chesham?

It depends on the size of the kitchen, what goes into it and whether we are building the patio, pergola or lighting at the same time. Once we have measured up, your quote includes a timescale, so you know how long we will be on site before we start.

Do I need planning permission for an outdoor kitchen?

Usually not in a back garden. A covered kitchen follows the rules for garden structures, which allow up to 2.5 metres high within 2 metres of a boundary. The rules are tighter for listed buildings and in conservation areas. We check this before we start.

Should I choose a gas or charcoal BBQ?

Gas lights at the touch of a button, heats evenly and makes less smoke. Charcoal gives a smoky flavour that many people love. We can build in either, with a cupboard for the gas bottle or fuel.

Can I use an outdoor kitchen all year round?

With cover overhead, lighting and somewhere warm to sit, yes. A pergola or louvred roof keeps the rain off, so the kitchen is not just for summer. See cover overhead above.

How much does a new outdoor kitchen cost in Chesham?

It depends on the size, the materials and what goes into it, such as the BBQ, sink, fridge, cover and lighting. We need to see the garden before we can give you a price, so we offer a free, no-obligation quote. Call 01494 812249 or use the form at the top of the page.
