If you want a deck that looks sharp without constant sanding and staining, composite is a brilliant choice. We design and install composite decking for homeowners across BR1, from gardens near Downham Fields to streets around Grove Park. Expect clean lines, tidy edges and practical details such as steps and seating. The result is a usable space for dining, relaxing and safer access from the house.
Downham’s established residential estate includes 1920s cottage homes, 1930s semis and a good mix of post-war housing, often with long rear gardens and changes in level. We tailor subframes and drainage to suit each plot, whether you’re opening up a patio area or creating a raised platform. For homes near Bonus Pastor Catholic College or towards Bellingham, we can plan layouts that work with family life and everyday storage. Our designs also complement existing brickwork, paths and fencing rather than fighting them.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear, itemised proposal, then confirm board choice, colour and layout before work begins. Installation includes a solid subframe, precise cuts and hidden fixings for a refined finish, plus options like built-in lighting and balustrades. We keep disruption low, protect lawns and borders, and leave the site clean. Homeowners choose us because our workmanship is consistent, our communication is straightforward, and our warranties are in writing.
As composite decking contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to the practicalities of Downham plots: variable ground levels, compact side access and shared boundaries. We plan deliveries and waste removal to suit residential parking and keep pathways clear. Subframes are built to cope with damp ground and to promote airflow and drainage. Where gardens back onto other homes, we position lighting and balustrades with privacy and neighbour sightlines in mind.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Composite decking in Downham typically starts from around £120–£180 per m² for supply and installation, rising to £200–£300+ per m² for premium boards, complex shapes or multi-level builds. Extras such as balustrades, built-in lighting, seating and lots of steps will increase the overall price. Access, ground preparation and the size of the subframe also affect the final figure. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most composite decks take 2–5 working days once materials are on site. A small, straightforward platform with good access can be completed in a couple of days, while multi-level decks with steps, seating, balustrades and lighting can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on ground preparation, levelling, drainage needs and how many cuts and edges are required. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s low level and doesn’t significantly raise the ground. However, rules can change if the deck is high, affects privacy, sits close to boundaries, or if your property has restrictions (for example, certain flats or specific planning conditions). We’ll discuss your layout and check the key points before work begins, so you know where you stand with Lewisham requirements.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our composite decking installations, covering issues related to installation such as fixings, subframe integrity and fitting standards (subject to normal use and maintenance). Composite boards themselves typically come with a manufacturer warranty, which can vary by product and range. We’ll explain what’s covered, what isn’t (for example, accidental damage), and provide documentation for your records once the job is complete.
You can choose from a wide range of composite board colours and finishes, including woodgrain effects and contemporary greys and browns. We can install picture-frame borders, diagonal or straight-lay patterns, and add matching steps, seating and balustrades for a cohesive look. Built-in LED lighting is popular for paths and level changes. We’ll help you select options that suit your home’s style, how you use the garden, and your budget.
