Purley gardens often deserve a smarter, more usable surface than tired paving or patchy lawn. We design and build decking that suits how you entertain, relax and move through the space, whether you’re near Purley Cross or closer to Riddlesdown. Expect clean lines, solid subframes and finishes that look right against brickwork and planting. We can also integrate balustrades, steps and discreet lighting for safer evenings outdoors.
As experienced decking contractors Purley area homeowners rely on, we’re used to working with large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes across CR8. Many plots have changes in level, long gardens or shaded corners, so we specify boards and layouts that cope with moisture and leaf fall. In Purley Oaks and Kenley, we regularly create raised or multi-level decks to connect kitchens, patios and lawns. The result is a practical extension of your home, not just a platform.
We start with a site visit to measure, check drainage and discuss how you want the deck to function. You’ll receive clear options on softwood, hardwood or composite, plus details like built-in seating, handrails and low-glare lighting. Our builds use proper foundations, ventilation gaps and fixings suited to the chosen material. Fine Landscaping is based just 15 minutes away, and every installation is finished with care and backed by a 10-year warranty.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we plan builds around access, parking and skip placement on residential roads. Purley gardens can sit on slopes towards the North Downs, so we pay close attention to footings, step geometry and balustrade safety. We also allow for leaf litter and damp pockets near mature trees, specifying ventilation and board spacing accordingly. Where needed, we’ll advise on boundary lines and any neighbour considerations before work begins.

Costs vary by size, height and material. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£260 per m², and composite commonly £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, stairs, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We’ll survey your Purley garden and provide an itemised estimate based on access and ground conditions.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–5 days to install, depending on size and whether ground preparation is needed. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, steps, balustrades and lighting usually extend the programme to 1–2 weeks. Timescales can change with difficult access, poor ground, drainage upgrades or bespoke joinery such as built-in seating. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site visit.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, especially when the deck is low and doesn’t materially raise the ground level. Planning can be required for higher platforms, significant changes in level, or if your property is listed or subject to special restrictions. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you understand Croydon’s requirements before you commit. When in doubt, we recommend confirming with the council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity, subframe construction and installation-related defects. Material warranties vary by manufacturer and product, particularly for composite boards, and we’ll pass those details on in writing. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, such as keeping drainage gaps clear. If anything concerns you, we respond quickly and put it right.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and we’ll recommend the best option for your budget, shade levels and maintenance preferences.
