FAQ

Common questions

Quick answers to the questions UK homeowners ask most. Can't see yours? Ask in the quote form and an installer will come back to you.

Why do pergola quotes vary so much?

Quotes vary because of size, material, roof type (fixed vs louvered), finish, and site conditions like access and groundworks. Motorisation, lighting, heating and side screens can each add £500–£3,000+. Getting 2–3 quotes is the only reliable way to gauge a fair price for your project.

Is installation included in the quoted price?

Most reputable installers quote a fully fitted price that covers delivery, foundations, fitting and waste removal. Always check whether groundworks, electrical connections and any required scaffolding or access equipment are included before you compare quotes.

Can I finance a pergola installation?

Some larger installers offer interest-free or low-interest finance over 12–60 months, typically via a third-party lender. Availability varies by installer — let us know if finance is important and we can prioritise matching you with installers who offer it.
