Bespoke Outdoor Kitchens & BBQ Areas - London, Essex & Home Counties

Outdoor kitchens and bespoke BBQ areas have become the centrepiece of modern outdoor living, creating stylish spaces where cooking, dining, and entertaining come together effortlessly. At Decking Gurus, we design and construct fully customised outdoor kitchen solutions tailored to how you actually cook outside in the UK — storage for covers, drainage that works, and worktops that don't stain. Combining premium materials, intelligent layouts, and exceptional craftsmanship, every installation integrates seamlessly with Millboard decking, porcelain paving, bespoke pergolas, and landscaped spaces. Based in Chadwell Heath RM6, serving London, Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire. 10+ years, 100+ projects, own team not subcontractors, Approved Millboard Installers.

Every outdoor kitchen is completely bespoke, designed around your appliances, how many you cook for, and where you want to prep vs serve. Whether you are looking for a compact BBQ station or a fully equipped entertainment hub for family gatherings, we create tailored layouts that balance aesthetics with practicality. We survey your appliances, measure exact cut-outs, and plan work zones — fridge, sink, bins, prep, grill — set level with your deck so you can slide plates straight across. From 2m single-run to 6m L-shaped or island layouts.

We don't sell flat-pack BBQ islands. We build everything from welded steel. Behind every exceptional kitchen is meticulous craftsmanship and precision engineering:

• Welded steel carcass, completely weatherproof — no MDF, no timber frame to rot. 3mm folded steel, hot-dip galvanised + powder coated to 80 microns, 25-year anti-corrosion warranty. Timber looks good for a year. Steel looks good for 25.

• 12mm porcelain or Dekton worktops, shark-nose edge, UV and heat proof. Will not stain, burn, or fade. Lifetime warranty. Unlike granite or quartz, Dekton is 100% UV stable for UK outdoors.

• Built-in BBQ, fridge, Quooker-ready sink, hidden services & deck-level plinth. Gas and electrics chased inside steel, not clipped outside. Single material palette — kitchen plinth matches pergola posts, planters, and handrail.

• Concealed fixings, flush fronts, engineered drainage. Every corner welded, ground, and powder coated. No face screws. No visible trunking.

We offer premium finishes including Millboard Envello Shadow Line+ cladding, aluminium detailing, composite slatted panels, and decorative architectural features. Standard RAL 7016 Anthracite / 9005 Jet Black / 9003 White, any RAL available. Every material chosen to withstand British climate while maintaining elegant appearance for decades.

Each outdoor kitchen is fully customised with comprehensive luxury features:

• Cooking: Beefeater built-in gas BBQ, Big Green Egg or Kamado ceramic grill, pizza oven, smoker, side burner — surveyed to exact appliance model, not generic hole

• Cooling: Outdoor fridge, wine cooler, ice maker, ventilated carcasses with condensation management

• Water: Stainless sink, Quooker-ready, integrated tap, hidden waste, deck-level drainage channel

• Storage: Soft-close drawers, pull-out bins, storage for covers, utensils, gas bottle locker vented to regs, lift-up worktop for Big Green Egg

• Services: 24V LED strip under worktop, dimmable, 240V power sockets IP66, all first-fixed inside steel, final connection by our Part P & Gas Safe partners

Our bespoke outdoor kitchens are often combined with Millboard decking, bespoke steel pergolas with retractable fabric or louvred roofs, architectural planters, privacy screens, bespoke seating with hydraulic storage, feature lighting, garden rooms, and complete landscaping to create exceptional outdoor environments. One team designs deck and kitchen together. Every post lines up with deck joists and trim, so no awkward packers. Worktops set flush to deck height with 10mm shadow gap detail — reads as one piece of furniture.

Best for entertaining gardens where you cook for 6-12 people, rooftop terraces where weight matters (steel frame lighter than masonry), and small London gardens where every metre counts — compact 2m run still gives BBQ + fridge + prep. Built off-site in our Essex workshop in Chadwell Heath. You get photos and video updates. No skip on your drive for 6 weeks. Final install typically 3-5 days on site, levelled with hidden brackets, not rawl plugs. We coordinate gas and electrics — you just provide supply to deck edge, we tell your electrician exactly what at design stage.

Every installation completed with meticulous attention to detail — precision fabrication, concealed fixings, premium finishes, expertly installed appliances. Our experienced team manages every stage, delivering exceptional quality and seamless installation.
