Oval gardens often need clever design to make the most of compact footprints and overlooked boundaries. We build bespoke decking that suits everything from quiet courtyards near Oval tube station to larger plots closer to Kennington Park. Expect crisp detailing, safe edges and finishes that look right alongside Georgian brickwork. We work across SE11 and nearby streets with minimal disruption.
Homes around Oval include Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats, each with different access and garden levels. We regularly design raised decking to create a level entertaining area above uneven paving, or multi-level decking to zone dining and lounging. For period properties, hardwood boards and discreet balustrades can feel timeless; for modern refurbishments, composite decking offers a clean, low-maintenance look. Our team is used to working in shared gardens and tight side returns.
We start with a site visit, detailed measurements and a clear design proposal, then handle ground preparation, subframe construction and precise board installation. Every deck is built for drainage, ventilation and long-term stability, with fixings and finishes chosen for UK weather. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, clear communication and dependable aftercare. Your installation is backed by our 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we plan for typical London clay, drainage run-off and shaded gardens between terraces. Access can be restricted near The Oval cricket ground on event days, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also design around basement lightwells, shared boundaries and conservation-sensitive streetscapes. The result is a deck that fits the property and works day to day.

Costs in SE11 vary by size, access and material. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed. Hardwood typically ranges £180–£280+ per m², while quality composite decking is commonly £170–£260 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, steps, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting will increase the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most standard decks take around 2–5 days from ground prep to final finishing. Larger or raised structures, multi-level layouts, or projects with balustrades, seating and lighting can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common with terraced homes), the condition of the existing ground, and whether old paving or decking needs removal. We confirm a schedule before work starts and keep you updated daily.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly raise the ground level. However, rules can change for raised decking, balconies, listed buildings, and some conservation areas. We’ll discuss your design, check key thresholds, and advise if you may need planning permission or landlord/freeholder consent (common with mansion flats). If approvals are required, we can help you prepare the information needed.
We include a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our decking installations, covering issues such as structural fixing, subframe stability and installation-related defects. Material warranties vary by product: composite boards often come with longer manufacturer guarantees, while timber depends on species and treatment. We’ll explain what applies to your chosen boards and finish. We also provide care guidance to help your deck stay safe, stable and looking its best.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and can design raised decking, multi-level layouts and safe steps for awkward gardens.

We’ll help you choose board width, colour tones and slip-resistant finishes to suit your property style, from Georgian terraces to modern flats. Our designs prioritise drainage, ventilation and long-term durability.
