Battersea gardens vary from compact courtyards to generous terraces near Battersea Park and Nine Elms. We design and install decking that adds usable space for dining, relaxing and entertaining, with finishes that suit both period homes and modern developments. Whether you want a clean-lined composite deck or warm natural timber, we build it to last. Our team regularly works across SW11 and SW8.
From Victorian terraces around Clapham Junction to mansion blocks and luxury new builds close to Battersea Power Station, each property brings different levels, access and privacy needs. We create solutions that maximise space without feeling crowded, including raised decking to level uneven lawns and multi-level layouts for zoned seating. Materials are selected for durability, slip resistance and colour stability. The result is a deck that complements your architecture and improves day-to-day living outdoors.
We start with a site visit and clear design options, then confirm structure, drainage and safe load-bearing before any build begins. Every deck is installed with proper subframe spacing, fixings and ventilation to reduce movement and prolong lifespan. You’ll get tidy working practices, transparent scheduling and a handover checklist for care and maintenance. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, turn up when we say we will, and stand behind our workmanship.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Wandsworth, we plan builds around local access and parking restrictions, especially near Queenstown and the riverside. Battersea gardens can have mixed ground conditions and older drainage runs, so we assess footings and airflow carefully. For mansion blocks and new-build courtyards, we design low-noise, low-mess installations and manage deliveries to suit tight entrances. We also help you avoid boundary issues with sensible balustrade heights and set-backs.

Costs depend on size, height, access and the material you choose. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood commonly ranges £180–£280 per m², and composite is typically £200–£350 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, steps, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger or raised decking projects with steps, balustrades, built-in seating or lighting usually take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access (common in SW11 mansion blocks), ground preparation, levelling, and whether we’re integrating drainage or replacing old structures. We confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly alter levels. Planning may be needed for higher raised platforms, prominent balustrades, or where conservation considerations apply. If you’re in a flat with communal areas, freeholder permissions may also be required. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey, advise on sensible design adjustments, and can support you with the information needed for any application.
Yes. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation issues such as structural fixing, subframe integrity and fitting defects, subject to normal use and maintenance. Many decking boards also come with manufacturer warranties, especially composite products, which can cover staining, fading or material failure for a set period. We explain what’s covered for your chosen materials and provide care guidance to help keep your deck looking its best.
We install softwood decking for cost-effective upgrades, hardwood decking for a rich, natural finish, and composite decking for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised decking to create level terraces, multi-level layouts for separate dining and lounging zones, and balustrades for safety and privacy. We can add built-in seating and subtle lighting for evening use. We’ll recommend the best combination based on sun, shade, drainage and how you use the space.
