West Dulwich gardens often deserve a smarter, longer-lasting alternative to traditional timber decking. Our installations are popular around SE21, from homes near West Dulwich station to properties bordering Belair Park. Composite boards deliver a crisp, modern finish while keeping the warmth of a wood-grain look. It’s a practical way to create an outdoor dining space that stays tidy with minimal upkeep.
We regularly work across the composite decking West Dulwich area, including Dulwich Village and Herne Hill, where Victorian villas and Edwardian houses often have mature rear gardens and varied levels. Period conversions can bring tighter access, shared boundaries and careful detailing around steps and thresholds. We design the deck layout to suit your property’s proportions, making sure it complements brickwork, paving and planting. The result is a clean transition from indoors to outdoors, without the constant sanding and staining.
From the first site visit, we check levels, drainage and how you want to use the space—lounging, dining or a safer play area. We build on a robust subframe, finish with hidden fixings, and leave everything neat and easy to clean. Our composite boards are fade resistant, slip resistant and backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty. Fine Landscaping also provides a 10-year workmanship warranty, which is why local homeowners recommend us.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, many West Dulwich gardens sit on mixed ground conditions and can hold moisture in shaded spots near Dulwich Wood. We specify subframes and ventilation gaps to reduce damp build-up and keep boards stable. Access can be narrow behind period homes, so we plan deliveries, cutting areas and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider parking restrictions and neighbour boundaries before work begins.

Costs vary with size, board choice and the amount of groundwork needed. As a guide, supply-and-install composite decking in SE21 often falls around £180–£320 per m² for straightforward builds. Raised decks, steps, integrated seating, lighting, or complex levelling can push this to £350–£500+ per m². We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site survey so you can compare like-for-like.
Most installations take 2–5 days once materials are on site, depending on the deck size and whether we’re building raised sections. Larger projects with steps, balustrades, planters, or significant levelling can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales also depend on access (common with period conversions), waste removal logistics, and weather. We confirm a schedule in advance and keep you updated throughout the build.
Composite decking is usually permitted development for many homes, especially when it’s at ground level and doesn’t significantly raise the surface. Planning may be needed if the deck is high, affects privacy, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also differ for flats and some period conversions. We’ll discuss your layout, check the key constraints, and advise if a planning enquiry is sensible.
Our composite boards come with a 25-year manufacturer warranty, typically covering issues such as material defects and abnormal fading when installed correctly. Fine Landscaping also provides a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality—subframe build, fixings, alignment, and overall finish. We follow manufacturer guidance on spacing and ventilation to protect your warranty. After completion, we explain simple care steps to keep the deck looking its best.
You can choose from multiple colours, from warm browns to contemporary greys, plus realistic wood-grain finishes. We can design straight or picture-frame borders, add steps, create split-level areas, or integrate planters and bench seating. Hidden fixings keep the surface sleek, and we’ll recommend slip-resistant options for shaded gardens. During the survey, we bring samples and help you select a look that suits your home and garden.
