The spread is wide, from about £1,000 to nearly £7,000 for similar footprints. Stated wind and snow ratings, warranty length, frame weight and what is in the box differ too. Compare the specifications, not just the size and the price.
Motorised louvred kits, as listed
| Retailer and model | Size | Listed price | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harbour Lifestyle, PergoSTET Deluxe (LED lights, 3 manual blinds) | 3 × 3 m | £4,750 | harbourlifestyle.co.uk |
| Harbour Lifestyle, PergoSTET Deluxe | 3 × 4 m | £5,150 | harbourlifestyle.co.uk |
| Pergolux, Pergola 4 Pro | 3 × 3 m | from £5,649 | pergolux.co.uk |
| Sunnier, Pergola Classic | 3 × 4 m | £7,550 sale price | sunnier.co.uk |
| Sunnier, Pergola Classic | 4 × 6 m | £11,899 (from Sunnier's FAQ) | sunnier.co.uk |
Motorised roofs need a 230 V supply. Sunnier's page recommends a qualified electrician for it. That cost is on top.
Fitting, as retailers list it
- Birstall: professional assembly £500 for the Westminster Emperor in the East Midlands area, £750 for the Pergomax. Other areas on application.
- Sunnier: its installation page introduces independent installers, typically from £580 inc VAT for the Essential and £660 for the Classic. That excludes foundations, paving or decking, electrical supply work and planning.
- Harbour Lifestyle: assembly service from £599, including bolting down. Larger sizes may cost more. Bolting down to porcelain is listed as an extra £250.
- Pergolux: assembly is optional and quoted on request.
So the retailer-listed band for fitting a kit up to about 4 × 3 m is roughly £500–£750, before any base work or electrics. That is what the planner uses.
The costs we could not price from a retailer page
We did not find a public, dated price we could cite for these. They depend on your site, so get written quotes.
- A new base. Concrete pads, a new slab, or ground screws where there is lawn. Plankley works out the slab and concrete quantities, which is the first half of a budget. See base and fixings.
- An electrician. A new outdoor circuit for a motorised roof, heater or lighting. See electrics and Part P.
- Side screens bought separately. Some kits include blinds (the Harbour Lifestyle Deluxe above includes three). Others sell them as extras. Price them for the exact model.
- Planning. If you need an application or a Lawful Development Certificate, the fee is set nationally. Check the current fee on the Planning Portal.
A worked example
A 3 × 4 m manual louvred kit, fitted, on an existing sound patio, with no electrics:
- Kit: £999 to £6,833, depending on which listing.
- Fitting: £500 to £750 from the retailers above.
- Base: nothing extra if the slab is suitable for the maker's fixings. If not, get a quote.
That gives roughly £1,500 to £7,600 for the parts we could price. A motorised version, side screens, a heater or a new base add to it. Run your own numbers in the planner.
Why do two 3 × 3 m louvred pergolas differ by thousands?
Frame weight and wall thickness, the stated wind and snow ratings, the louvre mechanism, drainage, warranty length and what is included all vary. Read wind and snow before you choose on price.
Is VAT included?
Sunnier states inc VAT for its installation prices. Most kit pages we read did not say either way. Ask before you order.
