From compact courtyards to roof terraces, we create decking that feels like a natural extension of your home. Our team regularly works around Paddington station and Paddington Basin, where access and timing matter as much as craftsmanship. Whether you want a calm spot for morning coffee or a space for entertaining, we tailor the layout, levels and finishes to suit. Expect crisp edges, solid subframes and a clean, professional install.
Paddington’s mix of stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments calls for flexible design thinking. In Bayswater and Marylebone, we often build decking that maximises narrow gardens, lightwells and paved terraces without overwhelming them. Raised decking can level awkward thresholds, while multi-level decking helps separate dining and lounging zones. We also specify materials that cope well with London shade and frequent foot traffic.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, drainage falls and access routes, then provide a clear proposal with material options. Every build is constructed with proper ground preparation, durable fixings and safe detailing around edges and steps. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices and consistent communication from start to finish. We’re based 45 minutes away, so support and aftercare are straightforward.
Working across W2 means planning for controlled parking, timed deliveries and restricted access through mansion blocks. Gardens near Little Venice and Maida Vale can have varying ground conditions and drainage, so we build stable subframes and allow for airflow beneath boards. We also design around balconies, lightwells and communal boundaries common in City of Westminster properties. Where needed, we can advise on balustrade safety and privacy screening.

Costs in the Paddington area vary by material, access and the amount of groundwork required. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite around £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting will increase the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most straightforward decking projects take around 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger gardens, raised decking, multi-level layouts, or additions like balustrades, built-in seating and lighting can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access through buildings, delivery restrictions near Paddington station, ground preparation, and weather. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, proximity to boundaries, and whether your property is listed or within a conservation area. In the City of Westminster, these factors are common, especially around stucco terraces and mansion blocks. We’ll flag potential issues during the survey, advise on safe deck heights, and can help you understand when permission or landlord/freeholder approval may be required.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity of the subframe, fixing methods and installation-related defects. Material warranties vary by product and manufacturer, particularly for composite boards and lighting components, and we’ll explain these clearly in your quote. To protect your deck long-term, we also advise on maintenance, ventilation and drainage so the structure stays stable and safe.
We install softwood decking for cost-effective builds, hardwood decking for a premium natural finish, and composite decking for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised decking to level thresholds, multi-level decking to create zones, and balustrades for safety on terraces. We can also add built-in seating and discreet lighting for evening use. We’ll help you choose based on sunlight, wear, privacy needs and the look of your property.
