A well-built deck creates an easy, level space for dining, play and entertaining. We install bespoke decking across Bexleyheath, Crayford and DA5, tailored to the way you use your garden. Whether you want a simple platform or a raised feature, we’ll design it to look right with your home. Many clients ask for finishes that complement nearby period character around Hall Place and the greener outlooks near Danson Park.
Homes across the Bexley area range from 1930s semis with long lawns to Victorian terraces with compact, stepped gardens, plus newer builds that benefit from a defined outdoor zone. We plan layouts that work with existing patios, conservatories and bi-fold thresholds. If your garden slopes or has awkward corners, we can create a raised or multi-level deck to make the space practical. Our designs also consider privacy lines, drainage routes and how sunlight moves across the plot.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear design options, then prepare a stable subframe and foundations suited to your ground. Every deck is built with correct joist spacing, ventilation and fixings to reduce movement and extend lifespan. We keep the site tidy, protect lawns and borders, and agree access and parking arrangements before work begins. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, clear communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens in the London Borough of Bexley often have clay-heavy ground, so we specify footings and supports to minimise seasonal movement. Access can be tight on some streets near Bexley High Street, so we plan material deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also account for boundary lines, existing drains and mature trees that are common in older plots. The result is a deck that sits neatly with local property styles and lasts.

For decking in Bexley, most homeowners budget around £100–£200 per square metre depending on materials and complexity. Typical projects come in at roughly £2,500–£8,000 for a well-built deck including subframe, fixings and installation. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite tend to cost more. Raised decks, steps, balustrades and lighting will increase the overall spend.
Most decking installations take 3–5 days once the design and materials are agreed. A straightforward ground-level deck can be completed faster, while raised or multi-level builds take longer due to extra framing, steps and handrails. Timescales can also change if the ground needs more preparation, if access is restricted for deliveries, or if you choose add-ons such as integrated lighting. We confirm a schedule before starting.
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 the deck affects privacy or boundaries. We’ll discuss height, location and any nearby constraints during your survey and can advise on whether you should check with the council. We always build with safety and compliance in mind.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for decking installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as subframe problems or fixings failing under normal use. Material warranties vary by product, especially for composite boards, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen range. The warranty assumes the deck is used as intended and maintained sensibly (for example, keeping drainage gaps clear). Documentation is provided on completion.
We install softwood decking for a classic look on a tighter budget, hardwood decking for a premium natural finish, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking to level out slopes, multi-level layouts to zone dining and lounging areas, and decking with lighting for safer steps and evening ambience. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging details and colours that suit your home and garden use.
