Those cramped Victorian terraces in Colliers Wood deserve outdoor spaces that work harder. Composite decking transforms even the smallest SW19 garden into a year-round haven, without the endless maintenance drama of traditional timber.

Living between the Northern Line and Wandle Trail means SW19 gardens face unique challenges - from damp conditions to limited access through narrow side returns. Modern composite boards handle our unpredictable weather brilliantly, resisting the moisture that plagues wooden decks near the River Wandle. Unlike timber that warps and splinters, these engineered materials stay looking sharp whether facing summer BBQ spills or winter frost.
Installation starts with proper groundwork assessment - crucial given Colliers Wood's mix of London clay and flood plain soil. Steel subframes provide rock-solid foundations, while hidden fixing systems create seamless surfaces free from visible screws. Drainage channels integrated beneath prevent water pooling, particularly important for those period properties with original Victorian drainage. Each board locks together precisely, forming an impervious barrier against rot and insect damage.
Seventeen years fitting decks from Merton Abbey Mills to Wandle Park taught us what SW19 homeowners actually need. Every project gets the same meticulous attention, whether it's a compact courtyard behind a Edwardian semi or sprawling gardens near Wandle Meadow Nature Park.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most SW19 properties feature 20-40m² gardens, with composite installations ranging £4,800-£9,500 including groundwork. Smaller courtyards near the high street start around £3,200, while larger plots towards Mitcham Common might reach £12,000.
Absolutely - from properties backing onto Wandle Park through to homes near Colliers Wood tube station. Regular installations stretch across to neighbouring Tooting, Mitcham and lower Wimbledon too.
Standard installations wrap up within 3-4 days, weather permitting. Complex designs or significant groundwork might extend to a week, but most SW19 gardens see completion before the weekend.
Premium composite boards carry manufacturer-backed decade-long protection against fading, staining and structural defects. Installation workmanship gets our own 10-year guarantee, covering everything from subframe integrity to drainage performance.
Quality composite boards feature textured surfaces specifically engineered for grip, even when wet. The grooved profiles channel water away efficiently, making them considerably safer than smooth timber during our frequent drizzly spells.
