From compact patios to long family gardens, we design and build decking that suits how you live in SE6. If you’re near Catford Broadway or walking distance to Mountsfield Park, we can transform awkward levels into a practical, stylish entertaining space. Our team installs softwood, hardwood and composite boards with clean lines and robust subframes. Expect neat edges, proper drainage gaps and a finish that looks premium year-round.
Catford homes often have varied garden shapes, especially behind Victorian terraces and 1930s semis, where width can be tight and levels can change quickly. We regularly work on ex-council properties too, where access routes and storage need planning from day one. Whether you’re in Hither Green, Bellingham or Grove Park, we tailor the layout to doors, steps and sightlines from the house. The result is a deck that feels purpose-built, not squeezed in.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear options for materials, heights and finishes. Our builds use proven fixings, stable foundations and careful detailing around drains, air bricks and boundaries. You’ll get a written specification, tidy working practices and a realistic programme so you know what’s happening each day. Local homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly and deliver a deck that stays solid and safe.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to mixed ground conditions and gardens that hold water after heavy rain, so we design subframes for airflow and drainage. Parking and access can be restricted on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for party walls, boundary lines and shared access routes common around Catford and Downham. Every build is adjusted to the property style and the practical realities on site.

Costs vary by size, height and material. 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, balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey in SE6.
Most standard decks take 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger gardens, raised decking, multi-level layouts or complex step and balustrade work can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on ground preparation, access for deliveries, weather, and whether we’re integrating lighting or built-in seating. After the survey, we’ll confirm a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout the build.
Many decking projects are permitted development, especially when they’re low to the ground and within typical garden use. Planning can be required for higher raised platforms, balustrades in prominent positions, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Lewisham’s rules and site constraints can vary, so we check heights, boundaries and any relevant restrictions before work starts and advise on the safest route.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering the structural build and installation quality when the deck is used and maintained as advised. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, particularly for composite boards and certain fixings. We’ll explain what’s covered, what maintenance is recommended, and how to keep your deck performing well in Catford’s changing weather conditions.
We install softwood decking for value, hardwood for a richer natural finish, and composite for low-maintenance durability. Design options include raised decking to level out slopes, multi-level platforms for zoning, and smart details like balustrades, built-in seating and integrated lighting. We’ll help you choose board colour, width and laying pattern, then finalise a layout that suits doors, steps and furniture placement.
