Shirley homeowners want outdoor spaces that look sharp in every season, without endless sanding and staining. We install composite boards with hidden fixings for a crisp, contemporary finish that suits gardens near Shirley Windmill and across CR0. Whether you’re creating a dining terrace, a sun deck, or a safer route to the lawn, we tailor the layout to your levels and lifestyle. Expect tidy workmanship, accurate setting-out, and details that elevate the whole garden.
From 1930s semis to larger detached houses and newer developments, Shirley gardens vary hugely in width, slope and access. We regularly work on properties around Addiscombe and Addington, where changes in level often call for steps, raised platforms or multi-level decking. Composite is ideal for family gardens, offering consistent grip underfoot and a clean look beside lawns and planting. We can also integrate seating and balustrades to make the space feel finished and secure.
We start with a site visit to measure, check drainage, and confirm the best subframe approach for longevity. You’ll receive clear options on board colours, edging details, and add-ons like built-in lighting and storage seating. Our installations are completed to a high standard, with careful preparation and neat finishing around doors, drains and borders. For peace of mind, we back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty and use composite products supplied with manufacturer warranties.
As composite decking contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to Shirley’s varied plots, from long rear gardens to tighter side access. We plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption on residential roads. Ground levels and drainage can differ between streets, so we set falls correctly and build robust subframes to keep boards stable. If your property is near Addington Hills or close to schools, we can schedule works to suit busy drop-off times.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Composite decking in Shirley typically ranges from around £140–£220 per m² installed, depending on board grade, subframe specification and site access. Multi-level builds, steps, balustrades and built-in lighting increase the overall cost, as does replacing poor ground or old bases. For a small to mid-sized CR0 garden deck, many projects fall between £3,000 and £9,000, with larger designs priced higher.
Most composite decking installations take 2–5 days for a straightforward, single-level deck, and 1–2 weeks for larger or multi-level projects with steps, seating and lighting. Timescales depend on ground preparation, removal of existing decking, drainage adjustments and the complexity of the layout. Weather can also affect groundwork and curing times where concrete footings are needed. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it’s not raised significantly above ground level and doesn’t create overlooking issues. However, rules can change for properties in conservation areas, for elevated decks, or where balustrades alter privacy. We’ll advise on typical Croydon requirements and can help you check constraints before work starts. If permission or a lawful development certificate is sensible, we’ll guide you through it.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our composite decking installations, covering issues linked to installation such as subframe integrity, fixings and fitting standards (subject to normal use and maintenance). Composite boards also commonly include manufacturer warranties, which vary by product range and colour. We’ll explain what’s covered, what’s excluded (for example accidental damage), and how to keep your warranty valid with simple care guidance.
You can choose from a wide range of composite board colours and finishes, including woodgrain effects and contemporary greys, often in grooved or solid profiles. We also design picture-frame borders, curved edges, inset mats, and contrasting step nosings. Optional extras include balustrades, built-in LED lighting, storage seating and multi-level platforms. We’ll bring samples, talk through how you use the space, and recommend a layout that suits your garden and budget.
