A well-built deck transforms how you use your garden, from morning coffee to summer entertaining. In Beckenham, we create decking that suits everything from compact patios in Clock House to larger lawns near Beckenham Place Park. Expect crisp edges, safe steps and thoughtful details such as lighting and built-in seating. We also design around existing planting, levels and drainage so the space works year-round.
Local homes in BR3 range from Edwardian houses to 1930s semis and period conversions, each with different access and garden proportions. We’re used to side returns, narrow passages and shared boundaries, so materials and build methods are chosen accordingly. For family gardens in Eden Park or Elmers End, raised or multi-level decking can level out slopes and create zones. Where privacy matters, we can integrate balustrades and screening without making the space feel boxed in.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a practical design that fits your budget. Our builds use proper subframes, fixings and ventilation gaps to reduce movement and extend lifespan. You’ll get a written specification, tidy working practices and clear handover advice for aftercare. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will, communicate clearly, and stand behind the finish.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, gardens often have clay-heavy ground and pockets of shade from mature trees, which can affect drainage and drying times. We design subframes with correct airflow and specify fixings that cope with seasonal movement. Access and parking can be tight around Beckenham Junction station and surrounding streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our approach suits BR3 property styles, from long 1930s gardens to compact courtyard layouts.

Costs vary by size, access and material. As a guide in Beckenham, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m², hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite commonly £200–£320 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 visit.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 days from set-out to final fix, depending on size and whether we’re working around existing patios or planting. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, balustrades and integrated lighting can extend the programme to 1–2 weeks. Timescales are also affected by access (narrow side passages), ground preparation needs and weather. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s low level and doesn’t significantly raise the ground. Planning may be needed for higher platforms, balustrades that affect overlooking, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also apply near boundaries and for drainage changes. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and, if needed, help you check Bromley Council guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as subframe problems, loose fixings or premature movement. Manufacturer warranties on composite boards and some timber products may also apply, depending on the brand and specification. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and how to maintain your deck to protect warranties. If anything needs attention, we respond quickly and resolve it properly.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and can design raised decking or multi-level layouts to create dining and lounging zones.

We’ll help you choose colours, board direction and finishes to suit your home and garden, balancing looks, slip resistance and maintenance levels.
