A well-built deck adds usable space for dining, relaxing and entertaining through the warmer months. We design and install decking that complements Chislehurst’s mix of mature gardens and generous plots, from BR7 homes near Chislehurst Common to properties a short walk from Chislehurst Caves. Expect clean lines, sturdy subframes and a finish that looks smart year-round. Options range from simple platforms to raised, multi-level layouts.
Homeowners in Chislehurst often want decking that matches large detached houses, Victorian villas and other period properties without looking out of place. We regularly work on gardens with existing patios, steps and level changes, creating seamless transitions to lawns and planting. For family homes in Elmstead, Mottingham and Sidcup edges, we can integrate safer balustrades and non-slip boards. Every design is measured to fit your lifestyle, furniture and access routes.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage and sunlight, then propose material choices and a clear layout. Our team prepares a stable base, installs a robust frame, and finishes with neat edging, concealed fixings where appropriate and optional lighting. You’ll receive straightforward workmanship standards and a tidy handover, with aftercare advice to keep your deck looking its best. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent pricing and consistent build quality.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, gardens can vary from flat lawns to stepped plots with mature trees that create shade and damp patches. We specify appropriate subframe ventilation and drainage gaps to reduce moisture issues and board movement. Access and parking can be tighter on some BR7 roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also match detailing to period façades and boundary styles common in Chislehurst.

Most decking projects in Chislehurst fall between £100–£200 per square metre, depending on material and build complexity. A straightforward softwood deck is usually at the lower end, while hardwood, composite, raised structures, steps and integrated lighting increase costs. Typical total spend is around £2,500–£8,000 for many family gardens. We’ll confirm measurements, access and groundwork needs before providing a detailed, itemised quote.
Most installations take 3–5 days, assuming normal access and stable ground conditions. Smaller, ground-level decks can be completed faster, while raised or multi-level designs take longer due to additional framing, balustrades and steps. Timescales are also affected by excavation, disposal, drainage improvements and whether lighting or bespoke joinery is included. We’ll agree a schedule in advance and keep you updated as the build progresses.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly alter ground levels. Planning permission may be needed for higher raised decking, balustrades that impact privacy, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can vary, so we check heights, boundaries and any constraints before work starts. If approvals are required, we’ll guide you on what to submit.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity, fixings and subframe performance when used as intended. Material warranties vary by product, especially for composite boards and lighting components, and we’ll explain the manufacturer terms clearly. Good preparation is key, so we build with correct ventilation, spacing and drainage to reduce movement and premature wear. Aftercare guidance is included at handover.
We install softwood decking for a cost-effective, classic look, hardwood decking for rich colour and durability, and composite decking for low-maintenance performance. Design options include raised decking to manage level changes, multi-level platforms with steps, and decking with lighting for safer evening use. We’ll help you choose board widths, colours, edge details and handrails to suit your home and garden layout. Samples and practical pros/cons are provided before you decide.
