Kensington gardens deserve a terrace that matches the area’s refined architecture. Our composite decking creates a crisp, contemporary platform for dining, lounging and entertaining near Kensington Gardens or Holland Park. It’s designed to resist fading and stains, so it keeps its colour through London summers and wet winters. Expect a neat, premium finish that complements stone paving, planting and lighting.
We regularly work across W8 and W14, where outdoor spaces range from stucco townhouses to mansion blocks and period conversions. Many homes around South Kensington and Earl’s Court have compact courtyards or raised terraces that benefit from a stable, low-maintenance deck. Composite boards are ideal where you want the warmth of timber without constant sanding or oiling. We tailor layouts to suit steps, thresholds and existing levels for safe, comfortable access.
From the first site visit to the final clean-down, our process is straightforward and tidy. We survey levels, drainage and subframe requirements, then propose board direction, edging details and colour options to suit your home. Installations use hidden fixings for a sleek look, and every build is backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty alongside manufacturer warranties up to 25 years. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 40 minutes away, so you get responsive service and reliable scheduling.
Access and parking can be tight around Kensington High Street and the surrounding squares, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many gardens sit above basement levels, requiring precise subframe design and discreet ventilation. We also account for drainage to avoid standing water on patios and terraces. If your property has conservation considerations, we’ll advise on sympathetic detailing and check any local constraints before work begins.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Composite decking in Kensington typically ranges from £180–£320 per m² supplied and installed, depending on board brand, subframe specification and access. Small courtyards can cost more per m² due to setup time, while larger terraces often reduce the unit rate. Steps, balustrades, integrated lighting, and complex edging add to the total. We provide a clear, itemised quotation after a site survey.
Most composite decking projects take 2–5 days on site once materials are confirmed. A small W8 courtyard may be completed in 2–3 days, while larger multi-level decks in W14 can take a week or more. Timescales depend on ground preparation, subframe construction, drainage adjustments and the number of steps or cut-outs. We’ll agree a schedule in advance and keep disruption to a minimum.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it stays at or near ground level. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, or where a deck affects privacy and boundaries. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea may also have specific requirements for certain properties. We’ll review your site, flag any risks, and advise if you should seek confirmation before starting.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality, including subframe construction, fixings and overall build integrity. Composite boards typically come with a manufacturer warranty of up to 25 years, depending on the product chosen. We’ll explain what’s covered, such as structural performance and resistance to excessive fading, and how to maintain eligibility. All warranty documents are supplied on completion for your records.
You can choose from multiple colours, from warm browns to modern greys, plus a realistic wood-grain finish for a premium look. We can design picture-frame borders, diagonal features, clean fascia trims and discreet steps to suit period conversions or mansion block terraces. Hidden fixings keep the surface sleek and barefoot-friendly. We’ll bring samples, discuss sunlight and shade, and recommend slip-resistant options for family gardens.
