If you want a tidy, modern seating area that stays looking sharp, composite decking is a practical upgrade for Downham gardens. We regularly work near Downham Fields and around BR1, creating level, usable spaces for dining, play and entertaining. Our boards are fade resistant, slip resistant and easy to clean, so they suit year-round use. Expect crisp edges, neat steps and a finish that complements brickwork and paving.
Downham’s established residential estate includes 1920s cottage homes, 1930s semis and plenty of post-war housing, often with long rear gardens and side access. We design layouts that make the most of these plots—whether you need a small terrace outside the back door or a larger platform for a pergola and furniture. For homes near Grove Park and Bellingham, we also plan for privacy screening and lighting routes. Every design is measured to fit your house lines and garden levels, not forced into a standard shape.
We start with a site survey, discuss how you’ll use the space, then recommend the right subframe and drainage approach. Installation includes hidden fixings for a seamless look and careful detailing around doors, drains and manholes. Your decking comes with a 25-year manufacturer warranty on the boards, and our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us because we arrive when we say we will, keep the site tidy, and communicate clearly from quote to completion.
We know the composite decking Downham area well, including access and parking constraints on residential streets near Catford and Bonus Pastor Catholic College. Many gardens have slight falls and mixed ground, so we build stable subframes and allow for drainage to prevent pooling. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption to neighbours. Where needed, we’ll advise on boundaries, levels and any local considerations in the composite decking in London Borough of Lewisham.

Costs vary with size, access and the subframe specification. As a guide, supply-and-install composite decking often ranges from about £140–£220 per m² for straightforward builds. Raised decks, steps, lighting, balustrades, complex shapes or difficult access can take it to £220–£320+ per m². We’ll survey your Downham garden and provide a clear, itemised quote so you can compare like-for-like.
Most projects take 2–5 days from start to finish, depending on the deck size and whether the ground needs levelling or old structures removed. A simple ground-level platform can be completed in a couple of days, while raised decking with steps, edging and integrated lighting may take a week. Weather, access for materials, and curing time for any concrete supports can also affect the schedule.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it’s at ground level and doesn’t significantly raise the surface. Planning rules can change if the deck is high, affects drainage, sits near a boundary, or if the property is subject to restrictions. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can help you check the latest guidance for the London Borough of Lewisham before work begins.
Our composite boards come with a 25-year manufacturer warranty (subject to their terms), covering issues such as material defects. On top of that, Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on installation, including the subframe build quality, fixing methods and overall fit and finish. We also explain cleaning and care so the surface performs as intended. If anything looks off after completion, we respond promptly and put it right.
You can choose from multiple colours, from contemporary greys to warmer browns, plus wood-grain finishes for a natural look. We can add picture-frame borders, matching steps, fascia boards, and discreet lighting routes. Hidden fixings are standard for a sleek surface, and we’ll advise on board direction to make the space feel wider or longer. We’ll bring samples to your Downham home and help you select a finish that suits your brickwork and garden style.
