A louvered roof does what no fixed roof can: open for sun, angled for shade, sealed against rain, draining through the posts. It's why louvred designs have overtaken traditional open-rafter pergolas in this country. A slatted roof gets used a few weekends a year; a louvred one gets used most of it.

The choice within the type is how it moves. Motorised systems respond from a remote or wall switch and can close themselves when rain starts; manual crank systems cost less and never need a power supply. Both take screens and side panels on any elevation, which is what turns a summer structure into a year-round one. If what you actually want is an open frame with something climbing over it, a timber pergola is cheaper and looks lovely doing it. You do not need us for that one.

How it works

Five steps, and the first one costs nothing.

  1. 01

    Free site survey

    No cost

    Ground fixings, water run-off and height, plus whether there is power nearby if you want the roof motorised.

  2. 02

    Motorised or manual

    Two options

    The honest test is distance. Ten steps from the kitchen, manual is fine. Further away, motorised earns its money.

  3. 03

    Built to order

    Made to order

    Made to the surveyed sizes, powder-coated and delivered to us.

  4. 04

    Installed and tested

    From one day

    Fitted, the roof cycled through its full range, drainage checked and the garden left clean.

  5. 05

    Guaranteed

    10 years

    BS EN1090 accredited frames, with a 10-year structural guarantee on the Morvelle range.

What customers actually said

Three reviews, quoted word for word from our Google Business Profile. Names included because they are already public there. No composites, no tidying.

★★★★★Sadie GoodwinPergola with lighting and heating
Highly recommend Eden Grove. I purchased a Pergola and it's perfect, creating a beautiful dining space to sit outside longer into the evening. The lights and heater make it extra special. From choosing a pergola to installation Eden made the whole process easy.
★★★★★Francesca DavisonMorvelle pergola, Sittingbourne
One day. Spotless garden. A gorgeous new Morvelle pergola that feels like a proper extra room. The Sittingbourne team were lovely from start to finish
★★★★★Ben LewisOrdered and installed inside a week
Simple ordering process, delivery and installed within the week, very easy to recommend.

Want yours priced properly?

The survey is free and settles the three things that decide the job: ground fixings, water run-off and height. No obligation either way.

Louvered roof pergolas over an outdoor lounge

The detail

Sun, shade or sealed

The blades track the sun through the day and interlock into a rain-tight surface when closed.

Motorised or manual

Remote-controlled with rain sensors, or a crank handle with no power supply needed.

Takes sides later

Zip screens, glass and louvred panels mount on any elevation, now or a year down the line.

The ranges we fit
Are louvered roofs waterproof?

Good ones, yes. Closed blades seal into a continuous surface and rain drains through concealed gutters in the frame. Build quality shows here first, which is why we only fit BS EN1090 accredited frames, and why the Morvelle range carries a 10-year structural guarantee.

Every roof type against British rain, compared

Motorised or manual?

Motorised for convenience, sensors and integrated lighting; manual crank for a lower cost and no electrics. Both control sun and rain the same way.

Can louvres handle snow and wind?

Properly installed aluminium systems are engineered for UK conditions. Exposed, coastal and hilltop sites need the fixing spec adjusted, which is a survey conversation rather than a reason to avoid the format.
