From Royal Arsenal balconies to family gardens near Woolwich Ferry, we build decking that suits how you use your space. Our team designs and installs softwood, hardwood and composite decking with a clean, premium finish. If you want a raised deck to level out a sloping lawn, or a multi-level layout for dining and lounging, we’ll plan it properly. Every build is tailored to your home and the way you move through the garden.
Woolwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments, each with different access and layout challenges. We regularly work across SE18 and nearby Plumstead and Charlton, where gardens can be narrow, shaded or overlooked. For terraces, we often create long runs with built-in seating to maximise usable space. For newer flats, we focus on low-maintenance composite finishes and safe balustrades for elevated areas.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss materials, edges and step positions. You’ll receive a clear scope of works, with quality fixings, tidy detailing and a build schedule you can rely on. We protect surrounding paving and planting, and keep disruption controlled with considerate working practices. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, precise workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Across the Royal Borough of Greenwich, gardens can vary from compact courtyards to larger plots with changes in level. In Woolwich, access can be tight around terraces and apartment blocks, so we plan deliveries, cutting areas and waste removal carefully. We also account for drainage and airflow under the deck to help prevent damp and premature timber wear. If parking restrictions apply near Woolwich Town Centre, we schedule sensibly and keep the site organised.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Decking costs in Woolwich depend on size, height, access and the material you choose. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite decking commonly £200–£350 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, steps, balustrades, lighting and built-in seating add to the total due to extra structure and labour.
Most standard decking installations take around 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger areas, raised frames, multi-level layouts or detailed extras like balustrades, lighting and built-in seating can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Timescales also depend on ground preparation, drainage adjustments, access for deliveries, and whether we’re removing an old deck or correcting uneven levels before building.
Many decking projects are permitted development, especially when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly raise the ground level. However, rules can change if the platform is high, includes substantial balustrading, affects privacy, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll discuss your design, check relevant guidance for the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and advise if a planning enquiry is sensible before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues linked to installation quality such as structural fixing, frame integrity and board fitting. Material warranties vary by product: many composite boards include manufacturer guarantees, while timber longevity depends on species, treatment and maintenance. We’ll explain what’s covered, recommend care routines, and specify suitable fixings and subframe details to support long-term performance.
We install softwood decking for budget-friendly upgrades, hardwood decking for a premium natural finish, and composite decking for low-maintenance durability. Design options include raised platforms, multi-level layouts, integrated steps, balustrades for safety, built-in seating and discreet lighting for evening use. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging details and colours that suit your home—whether it’s a Victorian terrace or a modern Royal Arsenal apartment.
