Pergolas and Garden Structures in Gerrards Cross

Pergola Fitters in Gerrards Cross
We build new pergolas and garden structures in Gerrards Cross, from the Orchehill Estate and the roads south of the railway to Dukes Wood, Camp Road and Austenwood Common.
The town sits on a flat gravel terrace that drains well, which gives pergola footings a firm start, and there is room for a pergola over a generous terrace or an outdoor kitchen.
An aluminium pergola with a louvred roof makes a modern garden seating area, while a timber pergola suits the town’s older Arts and Crafts houses.
The Gerrards Cross Common and Centenary conservation areas cover much of the town, and their appraisal treats hedges and green frontages as part of its character.

Choosing a Pergola
Our pergola installation covers two materials, each with its own look and upkeep. We will help you choose the one that suits your garden and how you want to use it.
-
Timber pergolas
A timber pergola, or wood garden structure, gives a classic, natural look that suits most gardens. Pressure-treated softwood or hardwood beams can be stained any colour, and climbers grow happily over them. An occasional re-treat keeps the wood looking its best.
-
Aluminium pergolas
A powder-coated aluminium pergola is light, strong and will not rot or rust, so it needs almost no upkeep. Many come with a louvred roof you can angle for sun or shade, and some close fully against the rain. A crisp, modern look.

Pergola Questions from Gerrards Cross
Which pergola suits a large Gerrards Cross garden?
With spacious plots, a pergola can frame a seating area at the far end of the garden or cover a generous patio by the house.
Do conservation rules affect pergolas in Gerrards Cross?
Much of the town is in the Gerrards Cross Common and Centenary conservation areas, so garden structures need more care there. Back garden pergolas are usually fine, but we check first.
Do you build pergolas in the villages around Gerrards Cross?
Yes. As well as Gerrards Cross itself, we cover Chalfont St Peter, Chalfont Common, Horn Hill, Tatling End, Austenwood Common, Maltmans Green, Oak End, Bulstrode, Dukes Wood and Fulmer, and the rest of the SL9 postcode area.
How long does it take to install a pergola in Gerrards Cross?
It depends on the size of the pergola, the material and whether the patio or deck beneath it is being built 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.
Should I choose a timber or aluminium pergola?
Timber gives a natural, classic look, can be stained any colour and suits climbing plants, but it needs an occasional re-treat. Aluminium needs almost no upkeep, will not rot or rust, and often comes with a louvred roof for sun or shade. You can compare them in the section above.
Do I need planning permission for a pergola?
Usually not in a back garden. Garden structures are generally allowed up to 2.5 metres high within 2 metres of a boundary, but the rules are tighter in front gardens, for listed buildings and in some conservation areas. We check this before we start.
Can you add lighting to a pergola?
Yes. Low lights around the seating area, festoon lights across the beams and lighting in the planting turn a pergola into somewhere to sit long after dark.
How much does a new pergola cost in Gerrards Cross?
It depends on the size, the material and what goes with it, such as paving, decking or 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.
