If you want a smarter, more usable garden in CR2, quality decking is one of the quickest transformations. We build everything from clean, low-level platforms to raised and multi-level decks that make sloping plots practical. Homeowners near South Croydon station and Lloyd Park often ask for lighting and built-in seating to extend evenings outdoors. Every deck is measured, designed, and installed for long-term stability and drainage.
South Croydon’s leafy streets include large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, each with different access and layout challenges. We regularly design decks that complement period brickwork, bay windows and mature planting. For family gardens in Sanderstead, Selsdon and Purley, we can add balustrades and step detailing to improve safety and flow. The result is a deck that looks intentional, not “added on”.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, drainage and how you use the space, then we provide a clear specification for materials and subframe build-up. We install proper foundations, ventilation gaps and fixings suited to the chosen boards, then finish with tidy edges and safe transitions. You’ll get straightforward communication, clean working practices, and a build that’s inspected at key stages. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon often have clay-heavy ground and mature roots, so we choose foundations and layouts that reduce movement and protect trees. Access can be tight around Victorian side returns, so materials are planned for efficient deliveries and minimal disruption. We also account for drainage and run-off so your deck stays safer underfoot in wet weather. Our designs suit South Croydon’s property styles and the way families use their gardens.

Costs vary by size, height, access and material. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite usually £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting will increase the overall budget. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in CR2.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger areas, raised frames, multi-level designs, or extras like balustrades, built-in seating and lighting can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on ground preparation, drainage requirements, access for deliveries, and whether old decking needs removal. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated as the build progresses.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly low-level decks that don’t significantly raise the ground level. Planning can be required for higher platforms, balconies, or where the deck affects privacy, boundaries, or listed buildings. Rules can also differ in conservation areas. We’ll flag potential issues during the survey and can advise what to check with the London Borough of Croydon before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which includes the structural installation such as the subframe, fixings and overall build integrity when maintained correctly. Materials may also carry separate manufacturer warranties, particularly with composite boards and lighting components. We’ll explain what’s covered for your chosen specification and provide care guidance to help your deck keep its finish and performance over time.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and can design everything from simple platforms to raised or multi-level layouts. Popular upgrades include balustrades, wide steps, built-in bench seating and subtle LED lighting for edges and stair treads. We’ll help you choose board colour, width, fixing style and edging details to suit your home and garden. The aim is a design that looks right year-round and is practical to maintain.
