If you want a deck that stays tidy through British weather, composite is a practical upgrade for SE21 gardens. We design and build decks that suit everything from compact patios near West Dulwich station to larger plots close to Belair Park. Expect crisp edges, neat transitions to lawns and paving, and a finish that complements period brickwork. Every build is tailored to how you actually use the space—dining, lounging, or entertaining.
West Dulwich’s leafy streets include Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and well-kept period conversions, often with long rear gardens and level changes. We regularly create multi-level decks to handle sloping ground, awkward thresholds and raised patio doors. Seating, steps and balustrades can be integrated so the deck feels like part of the architecture, not an add-on. Our composite decking contractors West Dulwich area clients rely on us to balance style with day-to-day practicality.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear design options, then specify subframe, ventilation and drainage details to protect the structure. Installation uses hidden fixings for a smooth surface and consistent board spacing. You’ll receive workmanship guarantees plus manufacturer warranties, along with care guidance for easy upkeep. Many homeowners choose us because we’re 15 minutes away, turn up when we say we will, and keep the site clean and safe.
Gardens around Dulwich Village and Thurlow Park often have restricted side access and shared boundaries, so we plan deliveries and cutting to minimise disruption. We design subframes to cope with damp ground and shaded areas near mature trees, such as around Dulwich Wood. Parking and loading can be tight on residential streets, so we schedule efficiently and keep materials secure. As composite decking contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we also consider drainage falls and finished heights to avoid issues at doors and air bricks.

Costs vary with size, access and finish. As a guide, composite decking supply and install in West Dulwich typically ranges from £160–£260 per m² for straightforward builds. Multi-level decks, integrated steps, seating, balustrades or built-in lighting can take it to around £220–£350 per m². Groundworks, removal of old decking and complex subframes may add more. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 2–5 days for a small to medium deck once materials are confirmed. Larger layouts, multi-level structures, lots of steps, seating or balustrades can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access, whether we’re removing an existing deck, and any groundwork needed to create stable foundations. Weather can also affect progress, particularly during subframe installation and setting levels.
Many garden decking projects fall under permitted development, especially when the deck is low and doesn’t raise the ground level significantly. However, rules can change if the platform is high, close to boundaries, affects drainage, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag potential issues during the survey and can advise what to check with the London Borough of Lambeth before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our composite decking installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as subframe problems, fixings, or movement from incorrect spacing. Composite boards also come with manufacturer warranties (length varies by brand and range), typically covering material defects and performance. We’ll explain what’s included, register products where required, and give aftercare advice so the deck stays in top condition.
You can choose from a wide range of colours and finishes, including wood-grain effects, contemporary greys and warmer brown tones. We install boards with hidden fixings, plus optional picture-frame borders for a premium edge. Design options include multi-level layouts, integrated seating, wide steps, privacy screens and balustrades, and built-in lighting for paths or stair treads. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance, and help match the style to your home.
