A well-built deck gives you a clean, comfortable space for dining, lounging and entertaining without the mud. We design and install decking that suits Catford gardens, from compact plots near Catford Broadway to larger family spaces by Mountsfield Park. Expect crisp edges, sturdy subframes and a finish that feels premium underfoot. If you want steps, balustrades or integrated lighting, we can plan it in from day one.
Homes across SE6 range from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis and ex-council properties, each with different levels, access and garden shapes. We’re used to working around side returns, narrow alleys and existing patios, keeping disruption low and the site tidy. Whether you’re in Hither Green or Bellingham, we’ll recommend a layout that fits your lifestyle and the way you use the garden. The result is a deck that looks intentional, not like an add-on.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then we prepare the base and build a rigid subframe for long-term stability. We use proper fixings, drainage gaps and detailing to reduce movement and improve longevity. You’ll get transparent scheduling, respectful workmanship and a finish check before sign-off. Local homeowners choose us for consistent quality and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Catford gardens often have mixed ground conditions and older paving that needs careful preparation before a deck goes down. We plan for drainage, ventilation and solid footings to reduce bounce and prolong the life of the structure. Access and parking can be tight around SE6, so we schedule deliveries sensibly and keep materials organised on site. We also stay mindful of requirements and good practice within the decking in London Borough of Lewisham context.

For most projects, decking is typically £100–£200 per square metre depending on the material and build complexity. A straightforward softwood deck may sit towards the lower end, while hardwood, composite, raised structures, steps and lighting increase costs. Many homeowners in Catford invest around £2,500–£8,000 for a complete installation, including subframe, fixings and finishing details.
Most decking installations take 3–5 days, assuming reasonable access and a clear working area. Smaller, ground-level decks can be quicker, while raised decking, multi-level designs, lighting, or extensive groundwork will add time. Weather can also affect progress, particularly during base preparation and any cutting or finishing work. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, especially when it’s low level. However, raised decking, balustrades, or work close to boundaries can change what’s allowed. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra rules may apply. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and advise if you should check with Lewisham Council before work begins.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering installation-related issues such as subframe integrity, fixings and structural stability when the deck is used and maintained correctly. Manufacturer warranties on composite or treated timber vary by product, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen boards. We also provide care guidance to help protect the finish and maximise lifespan.
We install softwood decking for value, hardwood decking for a rich natural finish, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking, multi-level platforms, built-in steps, and decking with lighting for safer evenings. We’ll help you choose based on your budget, sun exposure, drainage and how you use the space. We also advise on board direction, edging and handrails where needed.
