Helps & Co Design Build creates premium outdoor kitchen spaces across Surrey in partnership with Grillo Outdoor Kitchens.

Whether the client wants a beautifully designed kitchen beside their home, incorporated into a landscaped entertaining area or positioned alongside a bespoke garden room, Helps & Co can bring the complete space together.

This is more than placing a barbecue on a patio.

Helps & Co can prepare the foundations, construct the surrounding area, coordinate the required services and integrate the new outdoor kitchen with decking, paving, lighting, seating, pergolas and garden buildings.

The kitchen partnership

Premium Grillo outdoor kitchens

Grillo kitchens are designed as modular outdoor cooking and entertaining spaces, allowing each layout to be configured around the garden and the way it will be used.

Depending on the selected design, the kitchen can incorporate integrated cooking, generous preparation areas, outdoor storage, sinks, refrigeration, waste storage and bar seating.

The result should feel like a permanent and considered part of the garden rather than a temporary barbecue station.

Integrated gas or charcoal cooking
Generous preparation space
Outdoor storage cabinets
Sinks and water supplies
Outdoor refrigeration
Waste and recycling storage
Bar seating and social areas
Straight, corner and island layouts

Kitchen configurations and available features depend on the chosen Grillo design and are confirmed during planning.

Beyond the kitchen units

A complete outdoor-living service

An excellent outdoor kitchen depends on much more than the kitchen units themselves. The position, foundation, access, services, lighting and surrounding finishes all need to be considered before installation. Helps & Co can manage these elements as one coordinated project.

Design and site preparation

Assess the available space, access, ground conditions and relationship between the kitchen, house and surrounding garden.

Foundations and finished bases

Construct a stable and properly finished base using paving, porcelain, concrete, decking or another suitable solution.

Water, drainage and electricity

Plan and coordinate service routes for sinks, refrigeration, lighting and powered equipment where required.

Decking, paving and entertaining areas

Extend the kitchen into a complete social space with composite decking, porcelain paving, seating and lighting.

Pergolas and covered spaces

Create a more established outdoor area while considering ventilation, appliance clearances, heat and smoke.

Garden-room integration

Coordinate the outdoor kitchen with a bespoke SIP garden room, including position, cladding, decking, lighting and service routes.

Designed together, not added on

Garden rooms and outdoor kitchens

A garden room and an outdoor kitchen work particularly well together because they create distinct but connected spaces.

Inside, the client has an insulated room that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Outside, they have a purpose-built area for cooking, dining and entertaining.

Helps & Co can coordinate the position, dimensions, cladding, decking and lighting so the kitchen feels like part of the original garden-room design rather than something added afterwards. Our bespoke garden rooms in Surrey are built to sit seamlessly alongside your outdoor kitchen — see the standard of finish in our real Surrey garden room projects.

Every garden is different

Designed around your garden

Every outdoor kitchen project starts with how the client wants to use the space. Some clients want a compact cooking area for family meals. Others want a larger social area with bar seating, refrigeration, preparation zones and room for gatherings.

Good questions

Outdoor kitchen FAQs

How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?

The total cost depends on the kitchen configuration, selected appliances, groundwork, service connections and the size of the surrounding entertaining area. A kitchen installed on an existing suitable terrace will usually require less construction work than a complete project involving new paving, drainage, electricity, lighting, a pergola or a bespoke garden room. Following a site visit, Helps & Co can separate the kitchen and construction elements so the total cost is clear.

Do outdoor kitchens need planning permission?

Outdoor kitchens themselves will not normally require planning permission, but larger structures, raised platforms, permanent canopies and work at certain properties may require additional checks. Helps & Co can review the wider project and highlight where planning or specialist advice may be appropriate.

Can an outdoor kitchen include a sink and refrigerator?

Yes. An outdoor kitchen can include water, drainage and electrical equipment where suitable services can be provided. These requirements should be planned before the base and surrounding finishes are constructed.

Can you install an outdoor kitchen beside an existing garden room?

Yes. Helps & Co can assess the existing building, available space and service routes and design an outdoor kitchen area that complements the garden room.

Can the kitchen be incorporated into a new garden-room project?

Yes. This is one of the strongest options because the garden room, kitchen, decking, lighting and service routes can all be considered together from the beginning.

Can an outdoor kitchen sit beneath a pergola?

Potentially, but ventilation, heat, smoke and manufacturer clearances must be considered carefully. The design must remain appropriate for the selected cooking equipment.

What surface should an outdoor kitchen stand on?

The kitchen should stand on a stable, level and durable finished surface. Suitable options may include porcelain paving, concrete, properly constructed decking or another purpose-designed base. The correct solution depends on the ground conditions and kitchen configuration.

Do you only install Grillo kitchens?

The featured outdoor-kitchen partnership is with Grillo. This allows Helps & Co to combine Grillo kitchen systems with the surrounding construction and outdoor-living work.
