A well-built deck transforms how you use your garden, from morning coffee to summer entertaining. We design and install decking across Sutton, including Cheam and Carshalton, with finishes that suit both modern and traditional homes. If you’re near Sutton High Street or Manor Park, we can survey quickly and propose options that work with your levels and layout. Expect clean lines, sturdy subframes and a result that feels like a natural extension of your home.
The Sutton area has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer developments, each with different garden shapes and access. We regularly work on long, narrow plots that benefit from multi-level decking and built-in seating to zone the space. For homes in SM1, SM2 and SM3, we match materials and colours to brickwork, paving and existing planting. Whether you want a simple platform or a raised deck with balustrades, we tailor the build to your property.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a written specification covering structure, drainage considerations and finishes. Our team installs properly spaced joists, quality fixings and neat edging, then completes the job with optional lighting and seating details. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a clear handover with care advice. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship and a long-term approach to durability.
Gardens in the London Borough of Sutton often have clay-heavy ground and mature trees, so we design subframes and supports to stay stable through wet winters. Access can be tight on some Victorian terraces, so we plan materials delivery and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in parking and working hours near busier spots such as the St Nicholas Centre. The result is a build method that suits Sutton’s property styles and day-to-day practicalities.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Decking costs in Sutton vary by size, material and complexity. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood is commonly £180–£280 per m², and composite is typically £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting will increase the total. We provide a site-specific quote after measuring and discussing finishes.
Most standard decking projects take around 2–5 days on site, depending on access, ground preparation and the deck size. Raised decking or multi-level layouts can take 1–2 weeks, especially when adding balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting. Timescales also depend on weather, any required groundwork, and whether we’re removing an old deck or patio first. We confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Many garden decking installations are permitted development, particularly when they’re not excessively raised and don’t materially affect neighbours’ privacy. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats, maisonettes, conservation areas, or where the deck height is significant. We’ll discuss your design, check the key constraints and advise if you should contact the London Borough of Sutton or apply for permission. We aim to keep designs compliant from the outset.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for decking installations, covering issues related to the build such as structural fixing, subframe integrity and installation defects. Material warranties vary by manufacturer, particularly for composite boards and lighting components, and we’ll confirm these in writing. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance (for example, cleaning and re-oiling where required). If a problem arises, we respond promptly to inspect and resolve it.
You can choose softwood for value, hardwood for a premium natural finish, or composite for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised decking, multi-level layouts, picture-frame borders, hidden fixings, and anti-slip finishes where needed. We can add balustrades, integrated step lighting, and built-in seating to create defined zones for dining and relaxing. We’ll recommend the best combination based on sun levels, garden shape, and how you plan to use the space.
