If your garden needs a smarter, more usable layout, professionally installed decking can transform it. We design and build decks across Sidcup, including homes near Sidcup High Street and the DA14 and DA15 postcodes. Whether you want a quiet coffee spot or an entertaining area that connects to the house, we’ll tailor the footprint, levels and finishes. Expect crisp edges, solid subframes and a result that feels like part of the property.
Sidcup’s mix of 1930s semis, Victorian houses and modern developments often calls for different approaches to levels, drainage and access. We regularly create raised decking to deal with sloping lawns, and multi-level layouts to zone dining, lounging and play areas. For family gardens close to Foots Cray Meadows, we can add safe balustrades and integrated lighting for year-round use. Every design is measured to suit your doors, thresholds and garden proportions.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a practical design proposal, then schedule the build with minimal disruption. Our team uses proven ground-fixings, correct joist spacing and quality fixings to reduce movement and squeaks. You’ll get straightforward guidance on maintenance and slip resistance, plus tidy handover and aftercare. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, clean workmanship and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Bexley, we’re used to the access limits of 1930s drives and side passages, plus parking considerations on busier roads near Queen Mary’s Hospital. Ground conditions can vary, so we choose the right foundations and allow for drainage to prevent water sitting under the deck. We also design around mature planting and existing patios common in Sidcup gardens. Where boundaries are tight, we plan balustrade lines and step positions to keep everything safe and compliant.

Costs vary by size, material and whether you need steps, balustrades or lighting. As a guide, softwood decking is often around £120–£200 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£300 per m², and composite commonly £200–£350 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, complex shapes and built-in seating can increase labour and subframe requirements. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–5 days, depending on access and ground preparation. Larger areas, raised decking, multi-level layouts, or added features like balustrades, built-in seating and lighting can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by excavation, levelling, drainage adjustments and the number of steps or edges to finish neatly. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, but there are important limits, especially if the deck is raised, close to boundaries, or affects privacy. Listed buildings, conservation considerations and certain newer developments may have additional restrictions. We’ll discuss height, balustrades and sightlines during the survey and can advise on whether you should check with the London Borough of Bexley. If permission is needed, we can help you prepare the information required.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality, including the subframe construction, fixings and overall build integrity under normal use. Material warranties vary by supplier and product type, with many composite boards offering extended manufacturer guarantees when installed to their specification. We’ll explain what applies to your chosen softwood, hardwood or composite option and provide care guidance to protect your investment. Any issues are handled promptly and professionally.
We install softwood decking for value, hardwood for a premium natural finish, and composite for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised platforms, multi-level terraces, wide steps, privacy or safety balustrades, built-in seating and discreet LED lighting. We’ll help you choose board colour, width and laying direction to complement brickwork and garden planting. For family gardens, we can also specify anti-slip finishes and safer edge detailing.
