Kensington gardens demand finishes that look elegant and last. We design and build bespoke decking that complements properties near Kensington Palace and along routes leading to Kensington High Street. From a compact courtyard to a generous family garden, we create clean lines, safe edges and a comfortable surface underfoot. Expect careful detailing, tidy working practices and a result that feels like a natural extension of your home.
Homeowners in the Kensington area often have stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions where outdoor space is valuable and access can be tight. We regularly work across W8 and W14, including South Kensington and Earl's Court, tailoring layouts to balconies, roof terraces and long rear gardens. Where levels change, raised or multi-level decking can make the space practical without losing the classic look. We also match materials and colours to existing stone, brickwork and heritage features.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear design options, including lighting and built-in seating. We specify suitable subframes, drainage details and fixings, then install with minimal disruption and a clean handover. You’ll receive straightforward care guidance plus our workmanship warranty for peace of mind. Many clients choose us as decking contractors in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea because we communicate clearly and finish to a high standard.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access routes, parking controls and delivery timings can affect scheduling. We plan materials drop-offs, protect shared entrances, and keep noise and waste management organised. Many gardens sit above basements or have older paving and drainage, so we assess load, ventilation and water run-off before building. Our approach suits the area’s elegant squares and the practical realities of mansion blocks.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m², hardwood around £180–£280 per m², and composite around £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting typically add to the total. Restricted access in W8/W14 can increase labour time and delivery costs.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 days from start to finish. Larger or raised projects with steps, balustrades, seating and lighting commonly take 1–3 weeks, especially if groundwork and drainage improvements are needed. Timescales depend on access through the property, disposal requirements, weather, and whether we’re coordinating with other trades. We confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly when they’re low level and don’t significantly raise the ground. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, roof terraces, or where height and overlooking are concerns. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you check constraints before work begins. If approvals are needed, we’ll ensure the design is compliant.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity, fixings and installation-related defects when the deck is used and maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties on composite boards, lighting components and specific products may also apply and vary by brand. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and provide care guidance to help your deck stay looking its best.
We install softwood for value, hardwood for a classic premium finish, and composite for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised decking, multi-level platforms, integrated steps, sleek balustrades, built-in bench seating and discreet LED lighting. We’ll help you choose board direction, colour tones and edging details to suit your property style, then recommend the best subframe and fixings for longevity.
