If you want a smarter, safer garden space, our team designs and builds decking that fits how you live outdoors. We regularly work around Hither Green station and Mountsfield Park, so we understand the mix of compact town gardens and longer family plots. Whether you need a small step-out deck or a larger entertaining area, we’ll tailor the layout, levels and finishes. We also install lighting and seating to make the space usable beyond summer afternoons.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often benefit from raised decking to level out sloping lawns or create a clean transition from kitchen to garden. For 1930s semis in SE13, multi-level decking can zone dining, play and lounging areas without losing planting space. We design around existing trees, drains and patio doors, keeping access practical for family life. The result is a deck that looks right with period brickwork and modern extensions alike.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear recommendation on softwood, hardwood or composite decking. Every build includes proper ground preparation, strong subframes, neat edging and safe steps, with balustrades where needed. You’ll receive a written specification, tidy workmanship, and a schedule you can plan around. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, consistent quality, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham often have variable ground and older drainage runs, so we plan footings, ventilation and falls carefully. Access can be tight on streets near Lee and Lewisham, so we organise deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in boundary lines, shared fences and mature planting common in SE13 gardens. Our detailing suits the brickwork and proportions of local period homes while meeting modern safety expectations.

Costs vary with size, access and material choice. As a guide in Hither Green, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite around £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. After a site visit, we provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–5 days from ground prep to final fixings. Larger projects such as raised decking, multi-level layouts, or builds with balustrades, seating and lighting usually take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, drainage adjustments, access for materials, and whether we’re integrating features like steps or handrails. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it’s low level and doesn’t significantly raise the ground. However, rules can change for raised platforms, properties in conservation areas, or where the deck affects privacy or boundaries. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Lewisham if needed. Our designs prioritise compliant heights, safe guarding and sensible drainage.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity, fixing methods and installation-related defects. Material warranties vary by supplier, especially for composite boards and specialist lighting, and we’ll pass those details on in writing. To keep your warranty valid, we’ll also advise on maintenance, cleaning products and ventilation. If anything concerns you after installation, we respond promptly and professionally.
We install softwood decking for a classic look on a sensible budget, hardwood for a premium natural finish, and composite decking for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised decking, multi-level layouts, picture-frame borders, integrated steps, and balustrades for safety. Built-in seating and subtle LED lighting are popular for entertaining. We’ll help you choose colours, board direction and detailing to suit your home and garden use.
