From CR7 gardens near Thornton Heath station to quieter streets by Grangewood Park, we build decking that adds usable space and a clean finish. Whether you want a simple entertaining area or a raised deck to level out a sloping lawn, we tailor the design to your plot. Our team can incorporate balustrades for safety and subtle lighting for evenings outside. Every build is measured, planned and installed for long-term stability.
Thornton Heath’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often have compact rear gardens and shared side access. We design decks that maximise space without overwhelming it, using neat edges, integrated steps and practical drainage gaps. For families, built-in seating and child-friendly handrails make the area easier to use day to day. If you’re in Broad Green or Selhurst, we’ll also account for access routes and storage during the build.
We start with a site survey, discuss how you’ll use the space, then provide a clear specification covering materials, subframe, fixings and finish. Our installers use proper ground preparation, robust joists and concealed or colour-matched fixings where suitable. You’ll get tidy workmanship, clear communication and a schedule you can rely on. Local homeowners choose us for dependable builds backed by a 10-year warranty.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to the mix of clay-heavy ground and older garden layouts found around Thornton Heath Pond and South Norwood borders. Many properties have narrow access and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also design around existing drains, air bricks and thresholds common in period homes. The result is a deck that sits correctly, drains well and stays stable through the seasons.

Costs vary by size, height, access and material. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £90–£140 per m² installed, hardwood typically £140–£220 per m², and composite usually £160–£260 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We’ll survey your CR7 garden and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most straightforward decks take around 2–4 days once materials are on site. Larger, raised or multi-level builds commonly take 5–10 working days, especially if we’re adding balustrades, built-in seating or lighting. Timescales depend on ground preparation, access through the house or side passage, and weather. After the survey, we’ll confirm a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it stays low to the ground and doesn’t significantly alter levels. However, rules can change for raised platforms, properties in conservation areas, or where boundaries and privacy are affected. We’ll discuss heights, balustrades and sightlines during the design stage and advise if permission is likely. If needed, we can help you prepare information for Croydon’s planning checks.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship and structural installation, covering issues such as subframe integrity, fixings and installation-related movement. Material warranties vary by manufacturer, especially for composite boards and lighting components, and we’ll pass these on in writing. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or normal weathering such as fading and surface wear. We also offer aftercare advice to keep your deck performing well.
We install softwood for value, hardwood for a premium natural finish, and composite for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking, multi-level layouts, integrated steps, balustrades, built-in seating and discreet LED lighting. We’ll help you choose board direction, edge detailing and slip-resistance based on how you use the space. Samples and clear specs make it easy to compare looks and budgets before you commit.
