A well-designed deck makes Kennington gardens feel larger, brighter and easier to use year-round. We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking with crisp detailing, safe balustrades and discreet lighting. From compact courtyards near Kennington Park to larger plots around Oval, we shape layouts that suit how you entertain and relax. If you’re close to The Oval cricket ground or commuting via Kennington tube station, we plan work to keep disruption low.
Kennington’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often come with level changes, tight side access and shared boundaries. We’re used to creating raised decking to overcome uneven ground and to improve drainage and airflow beneath the boards. For period properties, we match proportions and finishes so the deck complements brickwork, iron railings and garden walls. For modern flats around Vauxhall and Elephant & Castle, we design clean, low-maintenance composite solutions that stay smart with minimal upkeep.
We start with a site visit, accurate measuring and a clear, itemised quotation, then confirm the subframe, fixings and finishes before we build. Every deck is constructed with proper foundations, ventilation and corrosion-resistant fittings, with tidy edges and safe step geometry. You’ll have a named point of contact, realistic timelines and daily clean-downs. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, transparent advice and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we plan around Kennington’s controlled parking, narrow access routes and shared alleyways. Many SE11 gardens sit over compacted ground with old paving or mixed sub-bases, so we assess stability and drainage before setting posts and joists. We also consider overlooking from mansion blocks and design screening, balustrades and lighting to improve privacy without blocking light. Where required, we help you check boundaries and any estate or leaseholder requirements.

Costs depend on size, access and the material you choose. As a guide in SE11, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite commonly £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, steps, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We provide a detailed quote after a site survey.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–5 working days from start to finish. Larger gardens, raised decking, multi-level layouts, or additions like balustrades, seating and lighting can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access (common around mansion blocks), ground preparation, disposal needs and weather. After the survey, we confirm a schedule and keep you updated as the build progresses.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s low to the ground and doesn’t significantly alter the property’s appearance. However, raised decking, balustrades, or work near boundaries can trigger extra considerations, and listed buildings or conservation areas may have stricter rules. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on whether you should check with Lambeth Council before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect installation, subframe defects and fixing failures. Materials are also covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by product (composite often carries longer cover). We’ll explain what’s included, how to maintain your deck, and what to do if you ever need us to inspect or repair anything.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and can tailor the look to period homes or modern blocks. Popular choices include raised platforms with wide steps, multi-level zones for dining and lounging, and balustrades for safety on height changes. We can also add built-in seating, planters and warm LED lighting for evening use. We’ll bring samples and recommend options based on sun, shade, maintenance preferences and budget.
