A well-designed deck makes your garden easier to use, whatever the season. Our team builds bespoke decking for homes across CR4, from compact courtyards to wide family gardens near Mitcham Common. We install softwood, hardwood and composite boards with clean edges, safe steps and durable fixings. Add balustrades, lighting or seating to create a space that works from morning coffee to evening entertaining.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates means no two gardens are the same. We regularly design decks to level out sloping lawns, bridge awkward thresholds, or create dining zones that connect neatly to the house. For properties around Pollards Hill and Figges Marsh, we often recommend raised or multi-level decking to maximise usable space. Every layout is tailored to how you move through the garden, not a one-size template.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, drainage and access, then provide a clear specification and itemised quote. Our installations use proper subframes, ventilation gaps and robust ground preparation to help prevent movement and premature wear. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices and straightforward communication throughout. With a local base just 10 minutes away, aftercare and follow-up are quick and easy.
Gardens in the London Borough of Merton often have variable ground conditions, with patches that hold water after heavy rain. We design subframes with correct spacing, airflow and drainage falls, and we use suitable footings for stability. Access can be tight on some streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep pathways clear. If you’re close to Mitcham Junction station or near open ground by Mitcham Common, we’ll also consider exposure and wind when specifying balustrades and fixings.

Costs vary by material, size, height and details such as steps, balustrades and lighting. As a guide in Mitcham, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£260 per m², and composite usually £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level builds can add £40–£120 per m² due to extra structure and labour. We’ll survey and quote accurately.
Most standard decks take 2–5 days from ground prep to finishing, depending on access and the complexity of the frame. Small, straightforward areas can be completed in 1–2 days, while raised decking, multi-level layouts, or projects with built-in seating and lighting often take 5–10 days. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, drainage adjustments, and any bespoke joinery. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, especially when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly alter ground levels. Planning may be needed for higher platforms, substantial balustrades, or where the property is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also apply if the deck affects privacy or drainage. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Merton before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity, fixings, and subframe construction when used and maintained correctly. Manufacturer warranties for boards and components (especially composite) may also apply and can vary by product. We’ll explain what’s covered for your chosen materials and provide care guidance to help your deck perform well long term. Any snagging is handled promptly.
We install softwood decking for a cost-effective, natural finish, hardwood decking for a premium look and durability, and composite decking for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised decking, multi-level platforms, wide steps, and balustrades for safety and style. Many Mitcham homeowners also choose built-in seating and discreet lighting for evening use. We’ll recommend board profiles, colours and layouts based on sun levels, wear, and how you use the space.
