A well-designed deck transforms how you use your garden in SE15, whether it’s for morning coffee or summer entertaining. We build softwood, hardwood and composite decking with crisp finishes and tidy edges that suit Nunhead’s calm, community feel. If you’re close to Nunhead Green or walking distance from Telegraph Hill Park, we can tailor levels and sightlines to make the most of your plot. Expect practical advice, clear options and workmanship that holds up year after year.
Nunhead’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages often come with long, narrow gardens and changes in level. We’re used to solving awkward corners, creating raised decking over uneven ground, and adding steps that feel natural rather than bolted on. For homes near Nunhead Cemetery or bordering neighbouring streets towards East Dulwich, we’ll match the deck style to the property’s character. The result is a garden feature that looks considered, not generic.
We start with a site visit, accurate measurements and a design that covers layout, drainage, and safe access. You’ll get guidance on materials, slip resistance, and maintenance, plus options like balustrades, integrated lighting and built-in seating. Our team works cleanly and respectfully, keeping disruption low and leaving the garden usable as quickly as possible. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, solid build standards and a finish we’re happy to put our name to.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan for typical access constraints found on terrace streets, including narrow side returns and shared pathways. We also consider drainage and ground stability, especially where gardens have been re-levelled over time. Parking and deliveries are organised to reduce inconvenience, and we keep neighbours in mind when scheduling noisy cuts. Our builds suit SE15 property styles, from period cottages to larger Edwardian homes.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Nunhead vary by size, material and whether the deck is raised or multi-level. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £90–£140 per m² installed, hardwood typically £140–£220 per m², and composite commonly £150–£260 per m². Extras such as balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting can add £300–£2,000+ depending on specification and complexity.
Most standard decks take around 2–5 days on site once materials are ready. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, or designs with balustrades, seating and lighting usually take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on ground preparation, access for deliveries, weather, and whether we’re integrating drainage or replacing an old structure. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the survey and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it’s low to the ground and doesn’t significantly raise the overall height. However, raised decking, tall balustrades, or work near boundaries can trigger extra considerations. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, rules may be stricter. We’ll flag any likely issues, advise on safe design choices, and help you check Southwark requirements before work begins.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which includes the structural integrity of the subframe, fixings and installation standards when maintained as advised. Materials often come with their own manufacturer warranties (particularly composite boards), which we’ll explain clearly at quotation stage. We also provide care guidance for cleaning and seasonal checks, helping your deck stay safe, stable and looking its best.
We install softwood decking for value, hardwood for a rich, natural finish, and composite for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised platforms, multi-level layouts, wide steps, privacy or safety balustrades, and built-in seating to maximise space in long SE15 gardens. We can also add subtle LED lighting to steps and edges. We’ll help you choose based on sun levels, usage, budget and the style of your home.
