Kensington gardens demand a finish that matches the neighbourhood’s architecture, from Kensington Palace views to quiet plots near Holland Park. Our composite decking installations deliver a clean, contemporary look without constant sanding or staining. Whether you want a compact terrace for entertaining or a generous platform for family use, we tailor levels, edges and steps to your space. We regularly work across W8 and W14, including South Kensington and Earl's Court.
Homes in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often include stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions with tricky thresholds and limited outdoor access. We design decks that sit neatly against existing stone, brick and railings, while keeping drainage and ventilation right. For roof terraces and raised patios, we specify subframes and supports that protect waterproofing and reduce noise. If your garden is shaded or enclosed, we can recommend board colours and finishes that keep the space feeling brighter.
We start with a site survey, measurements and a clear design proposal, then confirm levels, drainage falls and fixing details before ordering materials. Our builds use quality composite boards, hidden fixings, and optional balustrades, built-in lighting, seating and multi-level layouts. You’ll receive straightforward scheduling, tidy working practices and clear handover guidance. For peace of mind, we back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty and use manufacturer-backed product warranties where available.
Kensington sites often have restricted access, controlled parking and tight working hours, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Gardens around Notting Hill and Kensington High Street can have mature roots and variable ground levels, requiring robust subframes and precise setting-out. We also consider drainage to avoid water pooling near basements and lightwells. Where needed, we align our approach with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea expectations and local leaseholder rules.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Kensington, composite decking commonly starts around £180–£260 per m² for straightforward supply and install. More complex projects—such as multi-level decks, integrated seating, steps, balustrades or built-in lighting—often sit in the £260–£450+ per m² range. Costs vary with access, groundwork requirements, subframe specification, board choice, and how many edges and details need finishing. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most installations take 2–5 days for a small to medium deck once materials are on site. Larger or more detailed builds, including multi-level structures, lighting, balustrades and bespoke seating, typically take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common in W8/W14), the amount of excavation and levelling required, drying time for any concrete pads, and weather. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, especially when kept at sensible heights and not altering the building’s appearance significantly. However, Kensington properties can be in conservation areas, and flats may have leaseholder or freeholder restrictions. Raised decks, balustrades, and work near boundaries can also trigger extra considerations. We’ll flag any likely issues, advise on approvals, and can work with your architect or managing agent to keep everything compliant.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our composite decking installations, covering issues arising from installation such as fixings, subframe integrity and workmanship-related movement. Composite boards themselves usually come with a manufacturer warranty (often 10–25 years depending on the brand and range), covering defects such as excessive fading or material failure. We’ll explain what’s included, how to maintain the deck, and supply all documentation at handover.
You can choose from a wide range of composite boards, including woodgrain or grooved finishes, slim or wide profiles, and colours from warm teak tones to contemporary greys. We can add hidden fixings, picture-frame borders, anti-slip options, and matching fascia boards for a crisp edge. Design upgrades include multi-level decks, integrated seating, steps, balustrades and built-in LED lighting. We’ll help you select options that suit your property style and garden use.
