Westminster gardens and courtyards often need smart, space-efficient decking that complements historic streetscapes near Westminster Abbey and St James’s Park. We design and build decks that feel seamless with your home, whether you want a quiet reading platform or an entertaining area with integrated lighting. Expect clean lines, tidy edges and careful levels for doors, thresholds and drainage. Every build is tailored to how you use the space, not a one-size layout.
Our local experience covers Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments across Victoria and Pimlico, where access can be tight and outdoor areas are frequently compact. We’re used to working around basement lightwells, steps, railings and shared boundaries, while keeping neighbours informed and sites orderly. For period properties, we can match tones and proportions with hardwood or refined composite boards. For modern terraces and balconies, we prioritise slip resistance, discreet fixings and a crisp finish.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear design options, then specify the right subframe, fixings and ventilation for longevity. Your decking is built by experienced installers with careful preparation, accurate setting-out and robust structural detailing. We keep you updated on timings, protect surrounding paving and planting, and leave the area clean at handover. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, transparent scopes and a finish that stands up to year-round use.
Outdoor spaces in the City of Westminster can involve restricted access, controlled parking and strict working hours, especially around Whitehall and SW1. We plan deliveries, waste removal and on-site storage to minimise disruption and keep walkways clear. Ground conditions vary from old made-up ground to compacted sub-bases in courtyards, so we select the right foundations, pedestals or posts accordingly. Our detailing also suits listed-style façades and high-end communal settings.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Westminster, budget ranges typically start around £120–£180 per m² for softwood decking, £180–£300+ per m² for hardwood, and £160–£280+ per m² for composite, depending on brand and subframe specification. Raised or multi-level builds, balustrades, steps, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. Access constraints in SW1 and parking logistics can also influence labour time and waste removal costs.
Most standard decking projects take 2–5 days once materials are on site, while raised or multi-level decks with balustrades, seating and lighting often take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on size, site access, demolition of old decking, groundwork requirements and whether we’re building around drains, lightwells or steps. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the survey and keep you informed if weather affects progress.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, but rules can change if the deck is raised, affects privacy, or sits within a conservation area. Parts of Westminster also include listed buildings and sensitive streetscapes, where additional permissions may apply. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can help you understand what the City of Westminster may require. If approvals are needed, we’ll build to compliant heights and boundaries.
Yes. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering structural integrity and fitting-related issues when the deck is used and maintained as advised. Materials such as composite boards and certain hardwoods may also include manufacturer warranties, which we’ll explain before you choose. We document the build specification and aftercare guidance, so you know exactly what’s covered and how to keep the deck performing well.
We install softwood decking for a cost-effective, natural look, hardwood decking for premium grain and durability, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised platforms, multi-level layouts, integrated steps, balustrades, built-in seating and subtle lighting for evening use. We’ll recommend board direction, edging details and finishes to suit your property style in Victoria, Pimlico or St James’s, and how you plan to use the space.
