Elephant & Castle’s regeneration has brought more terraces, podium gardens and shared courtyards—perfect settings for composite decking that looks sharp year-round. We regularly work near Elephant Park and around SE1 and SE17, creating clean lines that suit modern developments and classic homes alike. Composite boards give you the warmth of timber styling without the constant sanding and staining. The result is an outdoor space that’s easy to enjoy, even with busy city living.
From Victorian terraces in Walworth and Newington to new-build apartments near Strata Tower, outdoor areas here vary hugely in size and access. We design decks for compact patios, raised platforms, balcony-style spaces and family gardens, always planning drainage and levels carefully. Composite decking is a strong fit for high-traffic spaces and rental properties because it’s easy to clean and resists fading. If you want a contemporary finish that complements brickwork, render or modern cladding, we’ll tailor the layout and edging details.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you’ll use the space—dining, lounging or storage. Our team builds a stable subframe, installs boards with hidden fixings, and finishes with neat trims and steps where needed. You’ll get clear recommendations on colours, board direction and slip-resistant options, plus a workmanship guarantee for peace of mind. With our base only 25 minutes away, aftercare and follow-up are straightforward.
Outdoor spaces in the London Borough of Southwark often come with tight access, controlled parking and shared pathways, especially near Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre and major developments. We plan deliveries, cutting areas and waste removal to minimise disruption to neighbours and building managers. Ground conditions can vary between older garden soils and made-up ground around new builds, so we choose the right subframe method and fixings. Where drainage falls are limited, we set levels carefully to help water shed correctly.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For Composite Decking in Elephant & Castle, most homeowners budget around £120–£220 per m² supplied and installed, depending on board grade, subframe type and site access. Small balconies and awkward access can increase labour costs, while larger, straightforward gardens usually reduce the per-m² rate. Extras such as steps, lighting channels, fascia boards and balustrades will add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most composite decking projects take 2–5 days once materials are on site. A small patio deck may be completed in 1–2 days, while raised platforms, complex shapes or multiple levels can take a week or more. Timescales depend on subframe preparation, groundwork, drainage adjustments and access restrictions common to SE1/SE17 developments. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after measuring up and checking any building management requirements.
Composite decking is often permitted development when it stays within height limits and doesn’t significantly alter the property’s external appearance. However, rules can change for flats, maisonettes, listed buildings, conservation areas, or where a lease/building manager sets conditions. In the London Borough of Southwark, we’ll flag any likely constraints and advise what to check before work starts. If needed, we can help with drawings and information for approvals.
Our composite boards come with a 25-year manufacturer warranty (subject to the product range and care guidelines). On top of that, Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality, including the subframe build, fixings and overall stability when used as intended. We also give clear care advice to keep the surface looking its best. If anything doesn’t look right after completion, we respond quickly and put it right.
You can choose from multiple colours, from warm browns and greys to contemporary charcoal, with a realistic wood grain finish. We can design straight runs for a modern look, picture-frame borders for definition, or diagonal boards to visually widen smaller spaces. Hidden fixings keep the surface sleek, and we’ll recommend slip-resistant boards for shaded gardens. We’ll bring samples, discuss how light hits your space, and help you pick a finish that suits your home.
