From balconies and courtyards near Strata Tower to family gardens around Walworth, we design and build decking that feels like a natural extension of your home. Our team works across SE1 and SE17, delivering clean lines, safe edges and durable finishes. Whether you want a calm spot for morning coffee or a space to entertain, we tailor the layout to your lifestyle. Expect tidy workmanship and a premium look that lasts.
Elephant & Castle’s mix of new-build apartments, modern high-rises and Victorian terraces means no two gardens are the same. We regularly install raised and multi-level decking to handle changes in height, awkward footprints and overlooked boundaries. For compact plots in Kennington or Newington, we can integrate built-in seating to save space without sacrificing comfort. If you’re after a low-maintenance solution, composite boards are a popular choice for busy households.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you’ll use the space. You’ll receive a clear specification covering subframe build, fixings, edging details and any extras such as lighting or balustrades. Our installers work efficiently to minimise disruption, and we keep access routes protected and tidy throughout. Homeowners choose us for consistent craftsmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to tight access, controlled parking and busy streets around Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre. Many properties have small rear courtyards or podium-style outdoor areas, so we plan material deliveries and cutting to reduce noise and mess. We also account for drainage and fall, especially where gardens sit above basements or have older paving. Our designs suit regeneration-era developments as well as traditional terraces in Borough and Kennington.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by material, access and whether you need a raised frame. 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. Extras such as balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting will increase the total. We provide a detailed written quote after a site survey in SE1 or SE17.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 days to install once materials are on site. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, or builds with balustrades, steps, seating and lighting can take 5–10 days depending on complexity. Timescales are affected by access (common around apartment blocks), ground preparation, and any remedial work needed for drainage or existing structures. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before we start.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it’s not excessively raised and doesn’t create privacy issues. However, rules can change for flats, listed buildings, conservation areas, or where the deck height is significant. Southwark-specific conditions may also apply to new-build developments with management restrictions. We’ll flag any potential planning or permission concerns during the survey and recommend the safest route before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues such as structural integrity of the subframe, fixings, and installation-related movement where used correctly. Material warranties vary by manufacturer, especially for composite boards, and we’ll pass those details on in your specification. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or lack of routine care (such as cleaning and basic maintenance). We’re also available for aftercare advice.
We install softwood decking for value, hardwood for a premium natural finish, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised platforms, multi-level terraces, steps, balustrades for safety, and built-in seating for compact gardens. We can also add discreet lighting to improve evening use and reduce trip hazards. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging details and colours to suit your home and outdoor space.
