Honor Oak’s hilly streets and generous rear gardens are ideal for a well-designed deck that levels out space and improves access. We build decking that suits how you live—morning coffee, family dinners, or entertaining with friends after a walk up One Tree Hill. Whether you’re near Honor Oak Park station or closer to Forest Hill, we’ll design a deck that looks right with your home and performs year-round.
We regularly work with Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis across SE23, where garden levels and boundary lines can be tricky. Our team is used to tight side access, shared alleyways and mature planting that needs protecting. If you’re updating a tired patio, adding steps to a lawn, or creating a raised platform to catch the view, we’ll tailor the structure and finish to the property’s character.
Your project starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a practical design proposal, including material choices and drainage considerations. We install solid subframes, accurate falls, and neat detailing such as balustrades, integrated seating and low-glare lighting. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will, keep the site tidy, and back our workmanship with a straightforward guarantee.
Honor Oak plots often sit on gradients, so we design subframes and supports to stay rigid and level over time. Access can be narrow on terrace streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and parking issues. We also factor in drainage and airflow under the deck to reduce moisture problems, especially where gardens back onto shaded boundaries near Camberwell Old Cemetery. If approvals are needed, we’ll guide you through what the London Borough of Lewisham expects.

Costs vary by size, access and the material you choose. As a guide in SE23, softwood decking installation often starts around £120–£180 per m², hardwood commonly ranges £180–£280 per m², and composite is typically £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, steps, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total due to extra structure and electrics.
Most standard decks take around 2–5 days from start to finish, depending on ground preparation and access. Raised decking or multi-level layouts usually take 1–2 weeks, especially if you’re adding balustrades, integrated seating, or lighting. Timescales can change if the site needs significant levelling, new foundations, drainage work, or if we’re working around mature trees and existing landscaping.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, but rules can change if the deck is raised, affects privacy, or sits close to boundaries. Planning constraints may also apply to flats, maisonettes, or homes in conservation areas. We’ll check the key factors during the survey and advise whether permission is likely, and we can help you prepare the details needed for the London Borough of Lewisham if an application is required.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural fixing, subframe integrity and installation-related movement. Manufacturer warranties on composite boards and certain hardwood products may run separately and can be longer, depending on the brand. We’ll explain what’s covered before work starts and give care guidance to help your deck stay stable, safe and looking its best.
