Those steep Crystal Palace gardens deserve decking that works as hard as the hillside views. Modern composite materials handle our unpredictable weather whilst keeping that natural timber appearance Victorian terraces demand.

Crystal Palace's mix of period properties and modern developments creates unique outdoor challenges. Sloping plots near the park need clever terracing solutions, whilst smaller courtyard spaces in Upper Norwood benefit from every square metre being maintenance-free. Composite boards solve the constant painting and treatment cycle that traditional timber requires in our damp microclimate.
Installation begins with proper ground assessment - crucial given SE20's clay soil movement. Hidden fixings create seamless surfaces without visible screws, whilst integrated drainage channels prevent water pooling on those notorious Crystal Palace slopes. Board selection considers sun exposure angles, particularly important for south-facing gardens overlooking the television transmitter.
Local knowledge matters when dealing with conservation area restrictions around Westow Park. Years spent working across Anerley and Penge mean understanding which colours complement red-brick facades versus rendered properties.

Budget £4,500-£7,000 for a standard 20m² deck including framework and labour. Larger split-level designs common to Crystal Palace's tiered gardens range £8,000-£12,000 depending on access difficulties.
Absolutely - from the triangle's bustling centre through residential streets of SE19 and SE20, including those tricky hillside plots near Sydenham.
Most Crystal Palace installations complete within 5-7 working days. Complex multi-level projects might stretch to 10 days, weather permitting.
Premium composite carries decade-long protection against rot, splitting and fading - essential given our area's temperature swings. Structural work includes separate 10-year installation warranty.
Unlike timber, composite resists moss and algae growth in shaded conditions. Those large oaks common to Upper Norwood gardens won't cause the green staining that plagues wooden decks.
