How much does a pergola cost in the UK?
Most UK homeowners spend between £3,000 and £15,000 on a pergola fully installed. Wooden pergolas start around £1,500–£3,000 for smaller kits, aluminium pergolas typically run £4,000–£10,000, and motorised louvered pergolas commonly fall in the £8,000–£20,000+ range depending on size, finish and extras like lighting, heating and side screens.
How long does it take to install a pergola?
A standard wooden or aluminium pergola is usually installed in 1–3 days once foundations are prepared. Larger motorised louvered pergolas with electrics, lighting and side screens can take 2–5 days. Lead times from order to installation are typically 4–10 weeks depending on the installer and time of year.
Do I need planning permission for a pergola?
Most pergolas in England fall under Permitted Development and do not need planning permission, provided they are under 2.5m high if within 2m of a boundary, do not cover more than half your garden, and are not at the front of the house. Listed buildings, conservation areas and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty have stricter rules — always check with your local authority.
What is the best material for a UK pergola?
Aluminium is the most popular modern choice — it does not rot, warp or need re-staining, copes well with UK weather, and supports motorised louvered roofs. Wood (oak, cedar, treated pine) suits traditional gardens and is cheaper upfront but needs annual maintenance. Steel is strong but typically more expensive and heavier to install.
