Bermondsey’s mix of riverside living and converted warehouse homes deserves outdoor spaces that feel considered, not improvised. We design and install decking that complements brick courtyards near Bermondsey Street and compact patios around London Bridge. Whether you want a simple platform for a café table or a statement multi-level deck for entertaining, we tailor the build to your footprint. Every deck is planned for drainage, durability and year-round use.
Local properties range from Victorian terraces to modern apartments with roof terraces and podium gardens, each with different access and load considerations. In SE1 and SE16, we often work with tight side returns, shared entrances and limited storage space, so materials and deliveries are scheduled carefully. For warehouse conversions, we can echo industrial textures with contemporary composite decking and clean balustrade lines. For period homes, hardwood or softwood with crisp edging can sit beautifully alongside traditional brickwork and planting.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground stability and discuss how you’ll use the space. You’ll receive a clear specification covering subframe, fixings, ventilation gaps, steps, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting routes. Our team works neatly, protects existing paving and finishes with precise cuts and concealed fixings where suitable. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, premium materials and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Outdoor spaces in the London Borough of Southwark often involve tight access, resident parking controls and shared pathways, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Bermondsey gardens can have mixed ground conditions, from old made-ground near former industrial sites to compacted clay, so we choose the right foundations and ventilation. For homes near Tower Bridge and Surrey Quays, we also consider wind exposure and specify sturdier balustrades where needed. Our approach keeps decks stable, safe and compliant for the setting.

Costs vary by size, access and material. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood is typically £180–£280 per m², and composite is usually £200–£320 per m². Raised decking, steps, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total, as does restricted access common in SE1/SE16. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger builds, raised structures or multi-level layouts commonly take 1–2 weeks, especially when adding balustrades, built-in seating and lighting. Timescales depend on ground preparation, drying time for new footings, access for deliveries, and any remedial work needed to existing patios or walls. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many garden decking projects fall under permitted development, particularly low-level decks that don’t significantly raise ground level. However, rules can change for raised decking, balconies/roof terraces, listed buildings, conservation areas, or if the deck affects privacy and overlooking. In the London Borough of Southwark we’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you understand what may need approval. We always build with safe guarding and compliant heights in mind.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity of the subframe, fixings, and installation-related movement or defects. Material warranties vary by product: composite boards and some hardwood/softwood treatments may include manufacturer guarantees, which we’ll explain clearly. The warranty assumes normal use and basic maintenance, and we’ll advise on cleaning and aftercare to keep your deck looking its best.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and can design raised decking, multi-level platforms and step transitions to suit awkward levels. Popular upgrades include balustrades for safety, built-in seating for compact Bermondsey courtyards, and low-glare lighting for evening use. We’ll help you choose board width, colour tones, edging details and grip options based on sun/shade, maintenance preferences and budget. Samples and layout sketches make decisions easier.
