Norwood Grove homeowners often want a terrace that feels like a true extension of the house, especially with the green outlook near Norwood Grove Park. We design and install decking that suits how you use the garden—morning coffee space, family dining, or a quiet reading corner. From low-level platforms to raised and multi-level layouts, we build for comfort, drainage and durability. We also integrate balustrades, lighting and seating so the finished area looks intentional, not added on.
Around Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace, many gardens sit behind Victorian houses and Edwardian properties with steps, retaining walls and changes in level. That’s where raised decking and split-level designs work particularly well, creating usable zones without major excavation. For period conversions, we can keep the look sympathetic with hardwood boards and discreet fixings. If you prefer minimal upkeep, composite decking offers a clean, modern finish that stays consistent through the seasons.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, including board direction, edging details and access points. We prepare stable subframes, set correct falls for water run-off, and use quality fixings for a neat finish. You’ll get straightforward scheduling, respectful on-site behaviour and a thorough clean-down on completion. Local clients choose us for reliable communication, crisp workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to the varied ground conditions around SE19, including clay-heavy soil and gardens with mature roots. Access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to keep things smooth. We also design around typical period property proportions, ensuring steps, handrails and thresholds feel natural. If your garden borders parkland routes near Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, we can add subtle lighting for safer evening use.

Costs depend on size, height, subframe complexity and your chosen boards. As a guide in SE19, softwood decking typically starts from around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood from £180–£260 per m², and composite from £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, balustrades, steps, lighting and built-in seating add to the total. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most standard decks take 2–5 days from start to finish, depending on access and ground preparation. Larger or raised projects with steps, balustrades, lighting and seating usually take 1–2 weeks. Timescales can change if we’re dealing with uneven ground, drainage improvements, or complex multi-level layouts. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after measuring up and agreeing the design and materials.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it’s low-level and doesn’t significantly raise the ground. However, rules can differ for raised platforms, properties in conservation areas, or where overlooking and boundary heights are a concern. We’ll discuss heights, balustrades and placement during the survey and advise if you should check with Croydon Council. If needed, we can provide drawings and specifications to support an application.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our decking installation workmanship, covering issues such as subframe integrity, fixings and structural stability when the deck has been used and maintained appropriately. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to the decking boards, especially composite products, and we’ll explain what’s included for your chosen material. If anything needs adjustment after installation, we respond promptly and aim to resolve it without fuss.
You can choose softwood for value and warmth, hardwood for a premium natural look, or composite decking for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking, multi-level layouts, integrated steps, balustrades for safety, built-in seating for entertaining, and lighting for evening use. We’ll help you pick board width, colour tones and edging details to suit your home’s style—whether a Victorian terrace or an Edwardian conversion.
