From compact courtyards near Camberwell Green to larger gardens towards Dulwich, we build decking that looks sharp and lasts. Our team designs and installs softwood, hardwood and composite decking with clean detailing and safe, solid subframes. Want a raised platform for uneven ground, or a multi-level layout for entertaining? We’ll tailor the build to your space and lifestyle in SE5.
Camberwell’s Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces often come with long, narrow gardens and level changes that benefit from raised or split-level decking. For modern apartments, we create tidy, low-maintenance composite decks that maximise usable outdoor space without overwhelming it. We match finishes to the area’s character—whether you prefer contemporary lines near Denmark Hill or a warmer, traditional timber look. Every design considers privacy, drainage, and how you move between kitchen, patio and lawn.
We start with a site visit, detailed measurements, and clear options for materials, edging and features. Your deck is built on properly spaced joists with correct ventilation and fixings, then finished with balustrades, built-in seating and lighting where required. We keep disruption low with tidy working practices and reliable scheduling. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens around SE5 can have clay-heavy soils and shaded boundaries, so we design subframes for airflow and fast drainage. Access is often via side passages in Victorian terraces, so we plan deliveries and cutting to minimise noise and mess. We also factor in parking and local restrictions around Denmark Hill station and busier streets. Our builds suit Southwark property styles while meeting practical needs like safe balustrades and robust steps.

Costs depend on size, height, access and material choice. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite usually £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, steps, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting will add to the total. We provide a written quote after a site visit in SE5.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger builds, raised platforms, multi-level layouts, or projects with lighting, seating and balustrades commonly take 1–2 weeks. Timescales vary with access (narrow side returns are common locally), ground preparation, and whether old decking needs removal. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before we start and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly alter ground levels. Planning may be needed for higher raised decking, privacy screens, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also affect drainage and boundary treatments. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can help you understand what Southwark may require before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues such as structural integrity, fixings, and installation defects under normal residential use. Material warranties vary by manufacturer—composite boards and some hardwood products often come with extended guarantees. We’ll explain what applies to your chosen decking and supply care guidance to keep it performing well. Any snagging is handled promptly and professionally.
