A well-built deck adds usable space for entertaining, dining and relaxing through the warmer months. We design and install bespoke decking that complements Blackheath’s village feel and the open outlook around Blackheath Common. From compact courtyards near Blackheath Village to larger gardens in SE3, we tailor layouts, steps and edges to your plot. Expect clean lines, safe detailing and a finish that looks right against brick, stone and mature planting.
Blackheath features Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions, often with tiered gardens and mature trees. We regularly build raised and multi-level decks to manage changes in level while keeping access comfortable and safe. Where gardens sit close to boundaries, we plan balustrades and privacy screening carefully, keeping sightlines and neighbour considerations in mind. If you’re on a lower-ground flat or a conversion, we can create a deck that maximises sun and reduces maintenance.
Our process starts with a site survey, moisture and level checks, then a clear design and specification. We build on properly sized subframes with correct drainage gaps, robust fixings and neat fascia detailing, then finish with optional lighting and seating. You’ll receive a written scope, realistic programme and tidy working practices throughout. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will, communicate clearly, and back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
Working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to access constraints, resident parking controls and narrow side returns common around period streets. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage and specify the right subframe height and ventilation to protect timbers. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption, especially near All Saints Church and busier routes. If you’re in Greenwich, Lee, Lewisham or Kidbrooke, we can typically reach you from our Norbury base in around 30 minutes.

Costs depend on material, height, access and detailing. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m², hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite commonly £200–£350 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting will increase the overall budget. We provide a written, itemised quote after a site visit in SE3.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–5 working days from start to finish. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, complex steps, balustrades, or integrated lighting and seating can take 1–3 weeks depending on size and access. Timescales also vary with ground preparation, existing deck removal, and drying time for any concrete footings. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work begins and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it’s low level and doesn’t materially change the property’s appearance. However, raised decking, balustrades, or work near boundaries can trigger additional considerations, and some homes may be in conservation areas or have restrictions. We’ll advise on likely requirements, check height thresholds, and can help you confirm details with the relevant council before you commit.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering the structural build, fixings and installation quality when used and maintained as advised. Material warranties vary by product: many composite boards come with manufacturer guarantees, while hardwood and softwood performance depends on species and treatment. We’ll explain care requirements, provide aftercare guidance, and return promptly if any installation-related issues arise.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and can design raised or multi-level decks to suit sloping gardens.
