Streatham Hill gardens come in all shapes and levels, and the right decking can make them far more usable. Whether you’re close to Streatham Hill station or near Telford Park, we create outdoor platforms that feel like an extra room. Our team designs decking to improve flow from kitchen doors, patios and side returns. We also integrate practical details such as steps, balustrades and discreet lighting.
Local homes in SW2 often include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, each with different access and layout challenges. We’re used to working with narrow side passages, split-level gardens and mature planting that needs protecting. If you want a clean, contemporary look, composite decking can be ideal for low maintenance. For period properties, hardwood or well-finished softwood can complement original brickwork and sash windows.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels, and discuss how you’ll use the space—dining, lounging, or entertaining. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering materials, subframe specification, drainage considerations and finishing details. Our installers work cleanly, keep neighbours in mind, and leave the garden safe and tidy each day. Every deck is built with longevity in mind, backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we plan around common constraints such as controlled parking, limited loading space and tight access routes off Christchurch Road. Many Streatham Hill plots have clay-heavy ground, so we specify suitable footings and ventilation to help prevent moisture issues. We also account for neighbouring boundaries and overlooking, positioning screens or balustrades where needed. Our approach suits everything from terraces to larger gardens towards Tulse Hill and West Norwood.

Costs vary by size, height, access and material. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood commonly ranges £180–£280 per m², and composite is typically £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting increase the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SW2.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–5 days from start to finish. Larger or raised projects with steps, balustrades, built-in seating or integrated lighting typically take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on ground preparation, the complexity of the subframe, drying time after wet weather, and access for materials near Streatham Hill station or busier roads. We agree a schedule upfront and keep you updated daily.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, especially when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly raise the ground level. Planning may be needed for higher raised decking, substantial balustrades, or where the property is a flat, a listed building, or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can help you understand Lambeth requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as structural fixing, subframe integrity and fit/finish. Materials are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by product—composite boards often carry longer guarantees than timber. We’ll explain care requirements, recommended cleaning, and any re-oiling schedules for hardwood or softwood to keep your deck performing well.
We install softwood decking for a cost-effective, traditional look, hardwood decking for rich colour and durability, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent finish. Design options include raised decking, multi-level layouts, picture-frame borders, concealed fixings, and matching steps. We can add balustrades, built-in seating and warm LED lighting for evening use. We’ll help you choose based on style, budget, slip resistance and how sunny your garden is.
