Balham gardens are made for entertaining, and a well-built deck turns even a compact plot into a usable outdoor room. We design and install decking across SW12, from Balham Hill to streets near Balham station. Whether you want a simple platform for a bistro set or a statement multi-level layout, we tailor the build to your garden’s shape and levels. Expect clean lines, solid subframes and a finish that suits your home.
In the Balham area, we regularly work on Victorian terraces with narrow side access, Edwardian houses with longer gardens, and mansion conversions where shared boundaries need careful detailing. Around Bedford Hill and near Tooting Bec Common, we often see sloping lawns and mature planting that call for raised or stepped solutions. Our team plans drainage, ventilation and edge details so the deck performs well through London weather. We’ll also help you choose materials that match your lifestyle and maintenance preferences.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels, and discuss how you’ll use the space. You’ll receive a clear specification covering subframe, fixings, finishes and any lighting, plus a realistic schedule. Our builds prioritise safe structure, tidy workmanship and minimal disruption, with careful protection of paths and planting. Local homeowners trust us for straightforward communication, consistent quality, and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Decking in London Borough of Wandsworth often means working with tight access, resident parking controls and shared boundaries in terrace streets. We plan deliveries and waste removal to reduce disruption around Balham High Road and nearby residential roads. Many gardens have clay-heavy ground and shaded areas, so we design subframes and ventilation to avoid moisture issues. Where levels change, we use raised structures and proper footings to keep everything stable.

Most decking projects in Balham fall between £100–£200 per square metre, depending on material and complexity. A straightforward softwood deck is usually at the lower end, while hardwood or composite, raised framing, steps, balustrades and built-in lighting increase costs. Typical total budgets are around £2,500–£8,000 for many SW12 gardens. We’ll confirm measurements, access and ground conditions before providing a detailed quote.
A typical decking installation takes 3–5 days, but timescales vary with size, access and design. Raised or multi-level decks, complex edging, or integrated lighting can add time, as can repairs to existing bases or significant levelling. Weather and delivery lead times for specific boards may also affect scheduling. After a site survey, we’ll agree a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout the build.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly when the deck isn’t significantly raised and the property isn’t subject to special restrictions. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats/mansion conversions, conservation areas, or where the deck height impacts privacy and overlooking. In the London Borough of Wandsworth, we’ll flag potential issues early and advise when it’s sensible to check with the council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues related to how the deck is built, such as structural fixing and subframe integrity. Material warranties vary by manufacturer and product type, especially with composite boards, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen range. We also give care guidance to help prevent staining, movement and premature wear, keeping your deck looking its best.
We install softwood decking for a cost-effective, classic look, hardwood for rich colour and durability, and composite for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised decking, multi-level platforms, wide steps, built-in seating, and decking with lighting for safer evenings outdoors. We’ll help you choose board profiles, colours and edging details to suit your garden and the style of your Victorian or Edwardian property, balancing budget, upkeep and longevity.
