A well-designed deck makes everyday life easier, from morning coffee to summer entertaining. We build bespoke decking across Bromley, including BR1 and BR2, with careful detailing and clean finishes. Whether you’re near The Glades Shopping Centre or closer to Bromley South station, we’ll design a layout that fits your garden and lifestyle. Expect sturdy subframes, neat edges and a surface that’s comfortable underfoot.
The Bromley area has a mix of large detached houses, Victorian villas and modern developments, often with generous rear gardens and varied levels. In Shortlands and Bickley, we’re frequently asked to create raised or multi-level decking to handle slopes and connect patios to lawns. For newer homes, composite decking is popular for its consistent colour and low maintenance. We’ll match the style of your property and the way you actually use the space.
Our process starts with a site visit, accurate measurements and clear options for materials, levels and finishes. We prepare solid footings, build a ventilated frame, and install boards with correct spacing for drainage and movement. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a finish that’s made to last. Local homeowners choose us because we turn designs into dependable structures, not quick fixes.
Gardens in the London Borough of Bromley often have clay-heavy ground and changes in level, so we design subframes and footings for stability and drainage. Access can be tight around side returns and driveways, particularly near Bromley Common and Plaistow, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider overlooking and boundary lines when adding balustrades or raised platforms. If any council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the build compliant.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by size, material and whether you need a raised frame or multi-level design. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite commonly £200–£320 per m². Extras such as balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting will add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 days from groundworks to finishing, depending on access and weather. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, or projects with balustrades, built-in seating and lighting usually take 1–2 weeks. Timescales can change if the ground needs extra preparation, if we’re integrating with existing patios, or if you choose bespoke features. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before we start.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, especially when the deck is close to ground level. Planning permission may be needed for higher platforms, significant changes in height, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also affect balustrades, privacy screening and boundary proximity. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Bromley before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural fixings, subframe integrity and installation defects when the deck has been used and maintained normally. Manufacturer warranties for composite boards, hardwood or treated softwood vary by product and are passed on to you. We’ll explain what’s covered, recommended maintenance, and how to keep your warranty valid.
We install softwood decking for value, hardwood for a premium natural finish, and composite for low-maintenance performance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking, multi-level platforms, wide steps, balustrades, built-in seating and integrated lighting for safer evening use. We’ll help you choose board width, colour tones, edge detailing and fixing style to suit your garden and property. Samples and layout sketches are available during planning.
