Carshalton’s gardens deserve finishes that suit its village feel and green outlook. Whether you’re near Carshalton Ponds or over towards Carshalton Beeches, we design decking that works with your layout, sunlight and access. Expect crisp edges, solid subframes and a surface that feels great underfoot. From quiet morning coffee spots to family-friendly entertaining areas, we build decks that get used.
We regularly work on Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and other period properties across SM5. These homes often have long rear gardens, mixed levels and mature planting that needs careful protection during works. We can match the character of older brickwork and boundary walls while keeping lines clean and contemporary. If your garden slopes or has awkward corners, we’ll propose practical shapes that maximise usable space.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear recommendations on materials, drainage and structure. We build on a properly prepared base with robust joists, correct fixings and safe step heights, then finish with tidy detailing. You’ll receive a written scope, realistic schedule (typically 3–5 days) and workmanship backed by our warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, clean working practices and consistent quality.
We understand the access constraints common around Carshalton, including narrow side passages and shared driveways, and we plan deliveries accordingly. Gardens near parks such as Oaks Park can have heavier, moisture-retaining soils, so we focus on airflow, correct spacing and drainage to reduce movement. For projects in the decking Carshalton area, we also consider neighbour boundaries, privacy and sightlines. If any guidance is needed for decking in London Borough of Sutton, we’ll flag it early and keep the build compliant.

For most projects, decking is typically £100–£200 per square metre, depending on material and build complexity. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite cost more but can offer longer life and lower upkeep. In Carshalton, a typical total spend is around £2,500–£8,000, influenced by size, ground preparation, steps, balustrades and extras such as lighting.
Most decking installations take 3–5 days from ground prep to final fixings, assuming straightforward access and typical weather. Larger footprints, raised frames, multi-level layouts and integrated lighting will add time. We also allow for careful setting-out around drains, manholes and existing planting. After the survey, we’ll provide a realistic programme so you know what happens each day and when the deck will be ready to use.
Many garden decking projects fall under permitted development, especially when kept to sensible heights and not affecting neighbouring privacy. However, rules can change if the deck is raised, close to boundaries, or your home is listed or in a sensitive area. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Sutton before work begins, so there are no surprises later.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues related to how the deck is built, such as subframe integrity, fixings and structural stability when used normally. Manufacturer warranties on boards (especially composite) can also apply and vary by product. We’ll explain what’s covered, how to care for your deck, and the simple steps to take if you ever need us to inspect or remedy a problem.
We install softwood decking for value, hardwood decking for a premium natural finish, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking, multi-level platforms, built-in steps, seating edges and decking with lighting for safer evenings. We’ll help you choose based on sun exposure, slip resistance, budget and how you use the space, then provide samples and a clear layout before installation.
