Colliers Wood homeowners love practical gardens that work for family time, entertaining and low-maintenance weekends. We design and install decking that suits patios, lawns and riverside-style plots near Wandle Park and the River Wandle. Whether you want a simple platform or a statement multi-level layout, we tailor every board line and step to your space. We cover SW19 and nearby South Wimbledon, Tooting and Mitcham.
From Victorian terraces with compact rear gardens to 1930s semis needing a level, usable seating area, we plan decking that fits the property and access. Modern apartments and ground-floor maisonettes often benefit from composite decking for a clean finish and minimal upkeep. We’re used to tight side returns, shared boundaries and awkward angles common around SW19. Your design is measured precisely so it looks intentional, not “added on”.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a written scope, then prepare a stable sub-frame with correct falls and ventilation. Every installation is finished with neat edging, safe steps and anti-slip options where needed. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a schedule that respects neighbours and parking constraints. Fine Landscaping is based just 10 minutes away, so support is close by if you need adjustments or aftercare advice.
Decking in London Borough of Merton often means working around mixed ground conditions, from firm subsoil to wetter areas closer to the River Wandle. We build sub-frames with proper drainage gaps, ventilation and durable fixings to reduce movement and rot risk. Access can be tight around terraces, so materials are planned for efficient delivery and minimal disruption. We also consider boundary lines and overlooking when designing raised or multi-level decks.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For decking colliers wood area projects, installed prices typically fall between £100–£200 per square metre, depending on material and build complexity. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and premium composite sit higher. Most homeowners spend around £2,500–£8,000 in total, influenced by ground preparation, raised framing, steps, balustrades and extras like integrated lighting.
Most decking installations take 3–5 days once materials are on site and access is confirmed. Smaller, straightforward platforms can be quicker, while raised or multi-level decking, steps, and lighting add time. Weather, drying time for any ground works, and the condition of the existing base can also affect the schedule. We agree a clear programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it stays low and doesn’t significantly alter ground levels. However, raised decking, balustrades, or works near boundaries can trigger planning considerations, and flats/leaseholds may have extra restrictions. We’ll flag potential issues during the survey and can advise what to check with the London Borough of Merton before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for decking installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by poor fixing or sub-frame construction. Material warranties vary by supplier and product (particularly for composite boards), and we’ll explain those options before you choose. We also give aftercare guidance on cleaning, staining (where relevant) and seasonal checks to keep everything performing well.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and we can design raised decking, multi-level layouts and built-in seating or planters. Many Colliers Wood clients choose composite for low maintenance, or hardwood for a rich, natural finish. For evening use, decking with lighting in steps or perimeter edges is a popular upgrade. We’ll recommend the best option based on budget, sun exposure, slip resistance and how you use the space.
