Brixton gardens come in all shapes and sizes, from compact courtyards to longer rear plots behind terraces. We design decking that works for how you live—morning coffee, entertaining, or a safe play area. Whether you’re near Brixton Market or walking distance to Windrush Square, we’ll create a deck that suits your home and the way the garden is used. Expect clean lines, tidy edges and a finish that complements your planting and paving.
Local homes across Brixton Hill, Herne Hill and Stockwell often feature Victorian terraces with level changes, narrow side access and mature boundaries. We’re experienced in building raised decking to overcome awkward falls, and multi-level decking to zone dining and lounging areas. For Georgian houses and modern developments in SW2 and SW9, we can match contemporary architecture with crisp composite boards or premium hardwood. Every build is set out carefully to maximise usable space without making the garden feel crowded.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, including board direction, steps, balustrades and lighting positions. We build on correctly sized subframes, use appropriate fixings, and finish with neat trims and safe, consistent step heights. You’ll get transparent scheduling, considerate working practices and a 10-year workmanship warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, durable construction and a result that looks right from day one.
We’re used to Lambeth’s mix of tight access routes, controlled parking and busy streets around Electric Avenue and Brixton Academy. Where deliveries and skip placement are tricky, we plan logistics to keep disruption down. Many gardens have clay-heavy soil and existing hard landscaping, so we design foundations and subframes to maintain drainage and prevent movement. If your property has party walls or boundary constraints, we set out carefully and keep everything compliant and neighbour-friendly.

Costs vary by size, access and material. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite commonly £170–£300 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting will increase the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in the Brixton area.
Most standard decks take 2–5 days from start to finish, depending on size and site access. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, or projects with balustrades, built-in seating and lighting usually take 5–10 working days. Timescales also depend on ground preparation, subframe complexity, and whether old structures need removing. We confirm a realistic programme once we’ve surveyed your garden and agreed the design.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s not excessively raised and doesn’t overlook neighbours. However, rules can change for conservation areas, listed buildings, flats with lease restrictions, or where the deck height is significant. We’ll discuss levels, boundaries and privacy at the survey and flag any likely issues. If permissions are needed, we can help you prepare the information required for Lambeth.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering the build quality of the subframe, fixings and fitting. Material warranties vary by product: many composite boards come with extended manufacturer guarantees, while hardwood and softwood performance depends on species and maintenance. We’ll explain care requirements, drainage and ventilation considerations, and provide aftercare guidance. If any workmanship issue arises, we return promptly to put it right.
We install softwood decking for value and versatility, hardwood decking for a premium natural finish, and composite decking for low-maintenance durability. Design options include raised platforms, multi-level zones, wide steps, privacy screens, balustrades, and integrated lighting. Built-in seating is popular for Brixton gardens where space is limited. We’ll help you choose board colour, width, direction and edging details to suit your property and how you use the garden.
