A well-designed deck makes everyday life easier, from morning coffees to summer entertaining. We build decking across Cheam Village and around Nonsuch Park, designing layouts that suit your garden’s shape and how you use it. Whether you want a simple platform or a raised, multi-level feature with steps and balustrades, we deliver clean lines and safe finishes. We regularly work in SM2 and SM3, so site visits and aftercare are quick and straightforward.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes means no two gardens are the same. We often design decking to level out sloping lawns, create a dining terrace outside bi-fold doors, or add privacy screening with balustrades. In North Cheam and Worcester Park, access can be tighter, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. For larger plots near Ewell, we can integrate generous seating zones and lighting for evening use.
We start with a measured survey, discuss materials and slip resistance, then produce a clear build plan with itemised costs. Subframes are built for strength and ventilation, with correct fixings and spacing to reduce movement and improve lifespan. We keep the site tidy, protect lawns and paths, and finish with crisp edging, steps and handrails where needed. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, quality workmanship and a finish that adds value.
Gardens in the London Borough of Sutton often have clay-heavy ground and mature tree roots, so we design foundations and supports to stay stable and well-ventilated. Parking and access around Cheam Village can be limited, so we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and keep materials secure on site. For 1930s homes, we match deck heights to existing thresholds and drainage falls. We also consider conservation-area sensitivities when proposing visible balustrades or lighting positions.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Cheam depend on size, height, access and your chosen material. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m², hardwood around £180–£280 per m², and composite around £160–£260 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, steps, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We provide a site-specific, itemised quote after a survey in SM2 or SM3.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 days from ground prep to finishing, depending on size and access. Raised decking, multi-level designs, complex steps, balustrades and integrated lighting typically take 1–2 weeks. Timescales can change if we need extra groundwork for poor soil, root protection near trees, or if you choose bespoke seating and detailed edging. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before we start.
Many decking projects are permitted development, but rules can change if the deck is raised, close to boundaries, or affects privacy. Extra care is also needed in conservation areas and for listed buildings. We check heights, boundary conditions and any relevant local constraints for the London Borough of Sutton before finalising the design. If permissions or approvals are required, we’ll advise on the best route and supply the details needed for an application.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural fixing, subframe integrity and installation-related faults under normal use. Materials are also covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by product (composite boards often carry longer guarantees). To protect your investment, we follow correct ventilation and spacing guidance and use appropriate fixings. We’ll explain what’s covered and how to maintain your deck for best performance.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and can design raised or multi-level layouts to suit slopes and thresholds. Popular upgrades include balustrades for safety, built-in seating for entertaining, and low-glare lighting on steps and edges. We’ll help you choose board width, colour, and finish based on maintenance preferences, slip resistance and budget. For families, we can also plan child-safe handrails and smoother transitions to lawns and patios.
