New Cross gardens come in all shapes and sizes, from compact courtyards to long Victorian plots. We design and install decking that suits how you actually use the space—morning coffee, entertaining, or a quiet reading corner. Whether you’re near New Cross station or walking distance from Goldsmiths University, we’ll create a finish that looks considered and lasts. Expect clean lines, sturdy subframes and a surface that’s comfortable underfoot.
Homes across SE14 often include Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, each with different access and levels to work around. We’re used to tight side returns, shared boundaries and garden steps that need clever transitions. Raised decking can level uneven ground, while multi-level decking helps zone dining and lounging areas. For balconies and higher platforms, we add balustrades that meet safety requirements without spoiling the view.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then we schedule works to minimise disruption. We build with proper foundations, ventilation gaps and fixings suited to London weather, then finish with neat edging and optional lighting. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, tidy working practices and transparent scopes of work. Every deck is installed to a high standard and backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As experienced decking contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we plan builds around typical access constraints and on-street parking. Gardens near Deptford Park and Telegraph Hill can have variable levels and drainage, so we design subframes with correct fall, airflow and robust footings. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and party-wall sensitivities common with terraces and converted flats. If needed, we can advise on waste removal and practical delivery timings.

Costs vary by size, height, access and material. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite decking commonly £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We’ll survey your SE14 garden and provide an itemised quote.
Most standard decks take around 2–5 days from ground prep to finishing, depending on size and access. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, steps, balustrades, seating and lighting can extend the timeline to 1–2 weeks. Weather, drying time for any concrete footings, and delivery logistics in the New Cross area also affect scheduling. We confirm a realistic programme before work begins.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s low-level and doesn’t significantly alter the property’s appearance. Planning may be needed for higher platforms, balustrades, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also change with specific site constraints. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise on checking Lewisham Council guidance before you proceed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation issues such as subframe stability, fixings and structural integrity when the deck is used normally and maintained appropriately. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to materials like composite boards and certain hardwoods, and we’ll explain what’s included for your chosen products. We also give aftercare guidance to help your deck stay safe and attractive for longer.
We install softwood decking for a cost-effective, natural look, hardwood decking for premium grain and durability, and composite decking for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised platforms, multi-level zones, steps, balustrades, built-in bench seating and discreet LED lighting. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging details and colours to suit your garden and property style—ideal for terraces and converted flats around Deptford and Brockley.
