Louvred pergolas in Winslow
Winslow is a brick town, much of it red brick in Flemish bond. The core around Market Square, High Street, Sheep Street and Horn Street fronts the pavement, so the garden is behind; the Victorian and Edwardian streets to the north have front gardens with space behind too; and modern estates sit around the edge. A louvred pergola can work in any of them. We start with a free design visit to measure the space, look at the patio and talk through size and sides.
The guide price is straightforward: A louvred aluminium pergola starts from £4,500 supplied and fitted, for a 3m × 4m frame on a suitable existing base. Bigger sizes, motorised louvres, side screens, glass walls and any new base are priced after the site visit. Sizes run from 3m × 3m to 8m × 3m, powder-coated in black, anthracite, latte or light stone, with warm-white LEDs built in. The louvres tilt for air and close to drain rain inside the frame and down the posts. You can keep the sides open or enclose them with privacy louvres, glass walls and sliding doors, or blinds. A fixed price in writing follows.
What makes Winslow different
The British Geological Survey notes that glacial sand and gravel are widespread around Winslow, alongside clay till and Oxford Clay, so ground can change within a few metres. For a pergola that means one post pad might sit in gravel and the next in clay; we look before deciding on pads and on where the post water goes. Winslow Conservation Area was re-appraised in April 2026 with a revised boundary, so we check whether your address is now inside it. Within it the pergola cannot go between the side of the house and the boundary. No Article 4 direction applies yet.
A typical Winslow pergola sits on the rear patio of a Victorian or Edwardian house to the north of the centre, or an estate home on the edge, at 3m × 4m or a little larger. It usually involves checking the patio, digging test holes for pads where ground varies, fixing the posts and leading post water to a soakaway or drain depending on what we find.
Permissions and checks in Winslow
- Step 1A freestanding pergola in a rear garden is normally permitted development if it stays behind the front of the house, is no more than 2.5m high at the eaves and 2.5m overall within 2m of a boundary, does not sit on a platform more than 30cm high, and together with any sheds or other outbuildings covers no more than half the garden. A listed house needs planning permission for one. In a conservation area it also cannot go between the side of the house and the boundary. Planning Portal: outbuildings
- Step 2Trees in a conservation area need six weeks’ written notice before any work, and trees with a Tree Preservation Order need consent — both are free. Buckinghamshire Council: work on a protected tree
- Step 3Lights and motorised louvres run on low voltage from an outdoor supply, put in and certified by a registered electrician.
- Step 4We check the ground and the planning position at the free design visit and give you one fixed written price.
Rules checked October 2026.
