Timber decking
Natural character
A good choice when you want the texture and grain of real wood. Softwood and hardwood have different purchase prices and care needs. Allow for cleaning and the treatment recommended for your chosen boards.

A better connection between home and garden
Looking for decking contractors in Clapham? Fine Landscaping helps you plan the whole installation, from the board finish you see to the frame beneath it. We bring material choices, levels, access and the practical details together in a written quotation before work begins.
A deck should do more than cover the ground. It can create a dining area beside the kitchen, make a stepped garden easier to use or turn a narrow space into a comfortable seating spot. We work through the layout with you, leaving room for doors, furniture, planting and the routes you use every day.
For a Clapham property, tell us early about shared entrances, basement lightwells or access through the house. These are survey questions, not obstacles to hide in a small-print allowance. Knowing the route for boards and waste helps us plan protection and give you a realistic programme.

Materials & possibilities
Timber or composite? Start with how you use it.
Appearance matters, but so do cleaning, shade, budget and the feel underfoot. We can talk through samples and the care requirements of the actual product being quoted.
The frame deserves as much attention as the finish
A new surface cannot put an unsound deck right. We check the condition of an existing frame before proposing replacement boards. For a new installation, the specification needs to account for support spacing, suitable fixings, ventilation, drainage and the board manufacturer's requirements. Edges and access points should be resolved before installation, not improvised afterwards.
From first ideas to finishing touches
A clear path to your finished garden.

We measure the space, discuss your priorities and check ground levels, door thresholds and the route through to the work area.

Remove the agreed old surfaces, prepare the supports and construct the deck to the selected system's requirements.

Documented project · Norwood, not Clapham
How decking fits into a complete garden
Our published Norwood project combines composite decking on a new timber frame with porcelain paving, retaining work, steps and turf. It is a useful example of planning the deck as part of the garden, rather than treating the boards as a standalone purchase.

What affects the cost of decking in Clapham?
An installed price depends on more than the square metres of boards. Two decks of the same size can require very different preparation and framing. A site visit lets us separate essentials from optional extras and quote for the complete job.

Decking in Clapham: your questions
Still deciding? Tell us about your garden and we can talk through the next step.
Read our warranty termsCan you replace old boards without rebuilding the deck?
Sometimes, but only if the existing frame is suitable for the new board system and still sound. We inspect the supports, fixings and signs of decay first. If repairs or a new frame are necessary, they should be included in the specification before the boards are ordered.
Which decking is easier to look after?
Composite can reduce the need for timber treatments, but it is not maintenance-free. Timber and composite both need regular cleaning, particularly in shaded areas where debris collects. We will discuss the manufacturer's care instructions for the product you choose.
Can you work with a small or narrow garden?
Yes. Board direction, furniture positions and the depth of steps can make a significant difference to a compact layout. Please tell us about narrow side passages or access through the house so these are considered at the survey.
How long will installation take?
We confirm a programme after checking size, access, ground preparation and the design. A straightforward low-level deck and a raised layout with seating are different jobs. Weather and material availability may also affect the schedule.
Can steps, seating or lighting be included?
Steps and built-in seating can be discussed as part of the layout. If lighting is wanted, agree cable routes and the appropriate electrical installation arrangements before the deck is closed up. These extras should be separately identified in the quote.
What warranty comes with the work?
Most installations include a 10-year workmanship warranty, with the applicable terms confirmed in your quote. Material warranties depend on the selected product. See our warranty page and ask us to clarify maintenance requirements and exclusions before you book.
