Those narrow Clapham gardens deserve decking that works as hard as you do. Composite boards bring contemporary style to period properties without the endless maintenance drama.

Victorian terraces around Clapham Common present unique challenges - awkward angles, limited access through the house, neighbours close by. Composite decking solves these brilliantly. The lightweight boards navigate tight spaces easily, and once installed, they'll outlast traditional timber without the annual sanding ritual. Many SW4 residents discover composite after watching their wooden decks turn grey despite expensive treatments.
Installation begins with laser-accurate measurements, crucial when every centimetre counts in compact Battersea plots. The subframe gets assembled using corrosion-resistant fixings that handle London's damp winters. Each composite board clicks into place with hidden fasteners, creating seamless surfaces. Drainage channels built into the design prevent puddles forming - essential given how much rain collects in those typical Stockwell courtyard gardens.
Twenty years fitting decks across South London teaches you which products actually survive city life. Local knowledge matters when dealing with conservation area restrictions or party wall agreements common in SW11.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Budget £95-150 per square metre installed. A typical 20m² terrace runs £2,400-3,600 including groundwork. Premium ranges with deeper wood grains push towards £180/m².
Absolutely - from Lavender Hill's mansion blocks to Northcote Road's terraces. Regular projects throughout SW4 and SW11, plus neighbouring Wandsworth patches.
Standard 25m² deck takes 3-4 days once materials arrive. Complicated split-levels or curved designs might stretch to a week. Weather permitting, naturally.
Premium composite carries decade-long protection against UV damage and warping. Manufacturers honour claims directly - we'll handle the paperwork if issues arise within ten years.
Modern composites resist heat marks and furniture scuffs brilliantly. Pop rubber pads under metal chair legs to be safe. Hot charcoal dropped directly might leave a mark, but general BBQ use causes zero problems.
