From garden courtyards near Notting Hill Gate to larger plots closer to Holland Park, a well-built deck can transform how you use your outdoor space. We design and install softwood, hardwood and composite decking with crisp detailing and clean edges. If your levels are awkward, we build raised or multi-level decking to make the space practical. Many clients also add balustrades, built-in seating and discreet lighting for evening use.
Notting Hill’s pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and mews houses often come with compact gardens, split levels or tricky thresholds. We’re used to working around basement lightwells, steps and narrow side returns, keeping drainage and airflow in mind. Composite decking is popular for low-maintenance terraces, while hardwood suits period properties where a natural finish matters. We also match board direction and layout to make smaller W11 gardens feel longer and more open.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check access routes and discuss how you want to use the deck. You’ll receive a clear specification covering subframe build-up, fixings, edging, and any lighting or seating details. Our team works tidily, protects planting and paving, and keeps you updated on progress. Every installation is finished to a high standard and backed by our workmanship warranty for long-term peace of mind.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means tight access, residents’ parking controls and careful waste removal planning. We schedule deliveries to suit local restrictions and keep disruption low on busy streets near Portobello Road Market. Many gardens sit above basements or have varying ground levels, so we design subframes to protect waterproofing and maintain airflow. Our approach suits both mews courtyards and larger family gardens around Ladbroke Grove and Bayswater.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by material, access, and whether you need raised framing or balustrades. As a guide, softwood decking commonly starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood is often £180–£280 per m², and composite typically £170–£300 per m². Extras such as lighting, steps, built-in seating and complex multi-level layouts can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–5 days once materials are on site. Raised decking, multi-level designs, built-in seating, balustrades and lighting can extend this to 1–2 weeks depending on complexity. Timescales also depend on access (mews lanes and narrow side returns can slow handling), ground preparation, and weather. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated as the job progresses.
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 (common locally). RBKC may also have guidance on boundaries, balustrade heights and overlooking. We’ll flag potential planning or building control considerations during the survey and can help you gather the right information before work begins, so you avoid costly changes later.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as subframe integrity, fixings, and installation-related movement when the deck has been used and maintained correctly. Manufacturer warranties on composite boards, hardwood products and lighting components may also apply and can vary by brand. We explain what’s covered in writing and advise on maintenance (cleaning, oiling where required, and ventilation) to protect the finish.
We install softwood for cost-effective projects, hardwood for a rich natural look, and composite for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised decks over uneven ground, multi-level zones for dining and lounging, and safety balustrades where needed. Popular upgrades include built-in bench seating, planters, and warm-white LED lighting on steps and edges. We’ll recommend layouts and board directions that suit your property style and how you use the space.
