A well-built deck turns a sloping lawn or tired patio into a practical space for dining, relaxing and entertaining. In Chislehurst, we design decking that complements gardens near Chislehurst Common and the character of BR7 properties. From sleek composite boards to rich hardwood finishes, we tailor every detail to how you use the space. Expect clean lines, safe edges and a layout that works with your planting and pathways.
Local homes range from large detached houses to Victorian villas and other period properties, often with generous rear gardens and mature boundaries. We regularly work across the decking contractors Chislehurst area, including Elmstead, Mottingham and Sidcup, where access and levels can vary widely. Our team plans for drainage, shade and privacy so the deck feels like a natural extension of the house. We also match colours and detailing to existing brickwork, stone and garden structures.
We start with a site visit, precise measurements and a clear design proposal, then prepare solid foundations and a durable subframe. Every deck is installed with correct spacing, hidden fixings where suitable, and safe steps or balustrades for raised areas. You’ll receive straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a finish that’s built for UK weather. Homeowners choose us because we deliver consistent quality and stand behind our work with a 10-year warranty.
Chislehurst gardens often combine mature trees, shaded areas and uneven levels, so we design subframes and supports to stay stable and well-ventilated. Parking and access can be tighter near landmarks such as St Nicholas Church, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider drainage routes and existing patio falls to prevent pooling around posts and steps. As decking contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we’re used to working neatly around established lawns, borders and garden rooms.

Costs depend on size, height, access and the material you choose. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood commonly ranges £180–£280 per m², and composite is typically £170–£260 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, balustrades, steps, lighting and built-in seating add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most standard decks take around 2–5 days from ground preparation to final fixings, depending on size and complexity. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, and extras like balustrades, integrated lighting or built-in seating can extend the programme to 1–2 weeks. Timescales also vary with access for materials, the condition of the ground, and whether old decking or patios need removal. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly when the platform is low and doesn’t significantly raise the ground level. However, rules can change for higher decks, balconies, listed buildings, or homes in conservation areas, and there may be considerations around overlooking and boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on whether you should check with the London Borough of Bromley before proceeding. Compliance is built into our design approach.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation issues such as subframe integrity, fixings and structural stability when the deck is used and maintained correctly. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to decking boards, particularly composite products, and we’ll explain the terms before you choose materials. We also give aftercare guidance for cleaning and seasonal checks. If anything concerns you post-installation, we respond quickly and put it right.
We install softwood decking for value and versatility, hardwood decking for a premium natural finish, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking, multi-level platforms, matching steps, and balustrades for safety. Many Chislehurst clients add built-in seating and subtle lighting for evening ambience. We’ll help you choose board colour, direction, edging details and layout based on sun, privacy and how you entertain outdoors.
