A well-built deck turns your garden into a practical place to dine, relax and entertain. We design and install decking across Orpington, including BR5 and BR6, with layouts that work for real family life. Many clients ask for safe edges, integrated steps and subtle lighting for evening use. We regularly work near Orpington station and around Priory Gardens, so we understand local access and expectations.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, larger detached houses and modern estates often calls for tailored levels and clean detailing. Where gardens slope or drop away, raised decking can create a level platform without losing space. For busy households, composite decking is popular for low maintenance, while hardwood suits more traditional properties. We also match balustrades and seating to complement brickwork, render and existing patios.
We start with a site visit to measure, check drainage and discuss how you’ll use the space. You’ll receive a clear specification covering subframe, fixings, edging, and finishes such as balustrades, built-in seating and lighting. Our team works tidily, protects lawns and borders, and keeps you updated from start to final clean-down. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a long-term approach to durability.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, gardens can range from compact plots to wide family lawns, often with mixed ground and mature planting. In areas such as Petts Wood and St Mary Cray, we plan for tight side access, neighbour boundaries and practical waste removal. We also factor in parking and delivery logistics near the High Street and The Walnuts Shopping Centre. Subframe height, drainage falls and ventilation are set to suit local conditions and keep boards stable.

Costs vary by size, access and material. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood commonly £180–£280 per m², and composite typically £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, steps, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We’ll survey your garden in BR5/BR6 and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger designs, raised platforms, multi-level layouts, or builds requiring groundworks and drainage adjustments may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access, the condition of the ground, curing time for concrete footings, and add-ons like balustrades, seating and lighting. We agree a schedule before starting and keep disruption to a minimum.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, but there are important limits, especially if the deck is raised, near boundaries, or affects privacy. Rules can also differ for flats, maisonettes, listed buildings or homes in conservation areas. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Bromley before work begins. If permission is needed, we’ll design accordingly.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural fixing failures or problems arising from installation defects. Material warranties vary by product: composite boards and some treated timbers often include manufacturer cover, which we’ll explain in your quote. To protect your deck long-term, we also build in correct ventilation, drainage and robust subframes, and we’ll advise on aftercare.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, with options for raised decks, multi-level layouts and integrated steps. Popular upgrades include balustrades for safety, built-in seating for entertaining, and low-glare lighting for paths and edges. We’ll help you choose board colour, width, laying pattern and edging details to suit your home’s style and maintenance preferences. Every design is tailored to how you use the garden.
