From family gardens near Carshalton Ponds to quieter plots around Carshalton Beeches, we build decking that looks right and lasts. Whether you want a simple platform for outdoor dining or a raised deck to level a sloping lawn, we tailor the design to your space. Our team installs softwood, hardwood and composite boards with crisp edges and safe, comfortable steps. We can also add balustrades, lighting and built-in seating to complete the area.
Carshalton’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, period properties and 1930s semis often comes with varied garden levels and mature boundaries. We design decking that complements traditional brickwork and bay-fronted elevations without overpowering the garden. For homes in SM5, we plan layouts that maximise usable space while keeping access routes clear. If you’re upgrading an older patio area, decking can provide a cleaner, warmer surface underfoot.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a practical design that considers drainage, sunlight and privacy. Every deck is built on a solid subframe, with fixings and finishes chosen for long-term performance. You’ll receive a written specification, transparent options, and tidy workmanship from start to finish. Local homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, turn up when we say we will, and stand behind our work.
As experienced decking contractors in London Borough of Sutton, we’re used to Carshalton’s mixed ground conditions, including clay-heavy soils that need careful footing design. Access can be tight around side passages on period homes, so we plan deliveries and cutting to minimise disruption. We also factor in parking and neighbour considerations on residential roads near The Grove and SM5 streets. The result is a deck that’s structurally sound, compliant and suited to how you use your garden.

Costs depend on size, height, access and materials. 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. Raised or multi-level builds, steps, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit in the decking contractors carshalton area.
Most standard decks take 2–5 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, extensive steps or balustrades can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground preparation, subframe requirements, access for materials, and any extras such as lighting or built-in seating. We confirm a schedule before work begins and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, especially when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly raise the ground level. However, rules can change for raised platforms, properties in sensitive locations, or where boundaries and privacy are impacted. We’ll advise on practical design choices and help you understand what may need approval. If needed, we can support with drawings and information for London Borough of Sutton requirements.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering structural integrity and installation-related issues such as subframe performance and fixings. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to materials like composite boards, lighting components and certain hardwood products. We’ll explain what’s covered, how to maintain your deck, and what to avoid to protect your warranty. Any snagging issues are handled promptly and professionally.
We install softwood for value, hardwood for a premium natural finish, and composite for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking, multi-level layouts, integrated steps, balustrades, built-in seating and discreet lighting for evening use. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging details and colours that suit your home and garden. Our recommendations consider slip resistance, shade levels and how you plan to use the space.
