From compact courtyards to generous family gardens, we design and build decking that makes outdoor space easier to use all year. Homeowners around Ladywell and SE13 often want a level, safe surface for dining, play and entertaining. We regularly work near Lewisham station where access can be tight, so we plan deliveries and installation carefully. Expect crisp edges, solid subframes and a finish that suits your home.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments calls for thoughtful detailing. Period properties often benefit from raised decking to create a step-free route from kitchen doors, while newer homes suit clean-lined composite boards and integrated lighting. Gardens in Blackheath and Hither Green can vary in levels, so multi-level decking is a practical way to zone seating, planters and pathways. We tailor every build to your layout, lifestyle and maintenance preferences.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear recommendation on materials, heights and drainage. Your decking is built on a robust, properly supported subframe with fixings chosen for longevity and a neat finish. We keep you informed at each stage, protect surrounding planting and leave the site tidy. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent specifications and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to narrow side access, controlled parking and timed deliveries near busy routes. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess soil stability and ensure the subframe is well-supported and ventilated. We also factor in neighbouring boundaries and privacy, especially for raised decks. Where needed, we’ll advise on practical compliance points and check any restrictions before work begins.

Costs depend on size, height, access and material choice. 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. Raised or multi-level decks, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey in the Lewisham area.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–5 days to build once materials are on site. Larger projects, raised structures or multi-level layouts can take 1–2 weeks, especially if you’re adding balustrades, steps, seating or lighting. Timescales also depend on access, ground preparation, drainage adjustments and weather. We’ll confirm a clear programme before starting and keep disruption to a minimum.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, but rules can change if the deck is significantly raised, affects privacy, or your property is listed or in a conservation area. There may also be considerations around boundaries and drainage. We’ll discuss heights and sightlines during the survey and, where needed, help you understand Lewisham’s requirements before work begins. If permission is required, we can guide you through the next steps.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity, fixings and subframe performance when used as intended. Material warranties vary by manufacturer, particularly for composite boards and lighting components, and we’ll explain these clearly in your quote. We also give aftercare advice for cleaning and seasonal checks to help your deck stay stable, safe and looking its best.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, with options for grooved or smooth finishes and hidden or face fixings. Popular designs include raised platforms for level access, multi-level layouts for zoning, and slimline balustrades for safety. Built-in seating, step lighting and low-glare deck lights are common upgrades. We’ll help you choose based on maintenance preference, sun exposure, budget and how you use the garden.
