Your garden, considered
A better connection between home and garden
A deck can create a dining area by the kitchen, level out a sloping garden or turn an awkward corner into a seating spot. What makes it last is the frame underneath: joist size and spacing, fixings and ventilation.
We help you compare timber and composite boards, plan the layout around doors and steps, and build on a properly supported, ventilated frame.
In Cheam, decks often sit beside a lawn, so we plan steps, edges and drainage to keep both looking good.

Materials & possibilities
Timber or composite?
Both can look excellent. The choice is about maintenance, feel and budget.
It is the frame that matters
Most failing decks are let down by the frame: undersized joists, poor fixings or no ventilation. We build on treated joists at the right spacing with airflow underneath, so the boards stay flat and secure.

What affects the cost of decking?
Decking is priced on area, board type, frame height and extras such as steps, balustrades and lighting. Our Carmel project in Beckenham, with composite decking, a pergola and fencing, was completed in one week for £15,000–£20,000.

Still deciding? Tell us about your garden and we can talk through the next step.
Read our warranty termsDo I need planning permission for decking in Cheam?
Not usually, if it is under 30cm high and covers less than half the garden. Raised decks may need permission.
How long does composite decking last?
Good composite boards typically carry long manufacturer warranties and need little more than washing.
Can you replace boards on an old deck?
If the frame is sound, yes. If joists have rotted, we recommend rebuilding the frame.
How long does a deck take to build?
Most decks take two to five days, depending on size and steps.
Do you cover all of Cheam?
Yes. We work across Cheam (SM3), including Cheam Village, North Cheam and Nonsuch Park, and nearby areas such as Sutton and Carshalton. Our base is in Norbury, SW16, about 5 miles from Cheam.
