Sydenham’s leafy gardens deserve decking that stays looking good through wet winters and hot spells. We install premium composite boards with hidden fixings for a clean finish that complements homes near Sydenham Wells Park and around SE26. Whether you want a simple platform for a bistro set or a larger entertaining area, we tailor the layout to your garden’s shape. The result is a safer, splinter-free surface that’s easy to keep tidy.
Our team regularly works across the composite decking contractors Sydenham area, including Forest Hill and Lower Sydenham. Many properties here are Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with raised thresholds, bay windows and mature planting to work around. We design decking heights, steps and handrails to suit existing levels and provide comfortable access. Where gardens are long and sloping, multi-level decks can create distinct zones without major upheaval.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you’ll use the space. You’ll receive a clear specification covering subframe build, board choice, edging, balustrades and optional built-in lighting. Our installations are finished neatly, with careful detailing around doors, air bricks and planting beds. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling, and warranties that back up the build.
As composite decking contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to tight side access, resident parking restrictions and careful material handling. Gardens near Dulwich Wood and Sydenham Hill Wood can have shaded areas and damp ground, so we plan ventilation, joist spacing and drainage to protect the structure. We also match designs to period façades and boundary lines common in SE26. If approvals are needed for raised platforms or balustrades, we’ll flag it early.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Sydenham, composite decking commonly starts around £130–£200 per m² for supply and install, depending on board quality and subframe specification. Mid-range projects with steps, edging and hidden fixings often sit at £2,500–£7,500. Larger multi-level decks with balustrades and built-in lighting can be £8,000–£18,000+. Access, ground preparation, and the amount of detailing are the biggest cost drivers.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 working days from ground prep to final clean-down. Larger gardens, multi-level layouts, or designs with seating, steps, balustrades and lighting typically take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common with side returns), how much levelling is needed, and whether we’re integrating drainage or replacing an old deck. We confirm a schedule after the site survey and measurements.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, especially when the platform sits low and doesn’t significantly raise ground levels. However, permission may be required for higher decks, balconies, prominent balustrades, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also apply where decking affects privacy or overlooks neighbours. We’ll assess your layout, advise on likely requirements, and can help you prepare information for Lewisham if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for composite decking installations, covering issues such as fixings, subframe integrity and installation-related defects. Composite boards also come with manufacturer warranties (often 15–25 years depending on the range), covering problems like premature fading, cracking or structural failure under normal use. We’ll explain what’s included, how to care for the deck, and keep documentation for your records.
You can choose from a wide range of composite board colours and textures, including contemporary greys, warm oak tones and deeper charcoals. We can specify grooved or solid boards, picture-frame borders, and hidden fixing systems for a seamless look. For safety and style, we install balustrades, steps with contrasting nosings, and built-in LED lighting. We’ll help you select options that suit your home’s period character and how you use the garden.
