Coulsdon gardens often make the most of the views and open feel near Farthing Downs and Happy Valley. Our decking creates a level, comfortable space for dining, lounging or entertaining, even on sloping plots. From simple platforms to multi-level layouts, we tailor the build to how you use the garden. We work across CR5, including Old Coulsdon and Hooley.
Local homes range from large detached houses to 1930s properties and newer developments, each with different access and garden shapes. We design decking that suits wider lawns, compact terraces and long plots common in the Coulsdon area. If you want a low-maintenance finish, composite is popular; for a natural look, hardwood remains a favourite. We’ll help you balance appearance, upkeep and budget from the start.
We begin with a site visit to check levels, drainage and the best orientation for sun and shade. You’ll receive a clear specification covering subframe, fixings, edging and any lighting, so there are no surprises. Our team protects lawns and pathways, keeps the site tidy, and finishes with a full handover and care advice. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, skilled workmanship and a long-lasting result.
In the decking in London Borough of Croydon, ground conditions can vary from firm chalky areas to softer spots that need deeper footings and careful drainage. Around Coulsdon Common and the CR5 streets, access can be tight and parking needs planning, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal sensibly. We also design around mature planting and established lawns, common in Old Coulsdon gardens. The result is a build that looks right and stays stable.

For decking in Coulsdon, most projects fall between £100 and £200 per square metre, depending on materials and complexity. A typical total budget is around £2,500 to £8,000 for a well-built deck including subframe, fixings and finishing details. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite sit higher. Raised or multi-level designs and lighting will increase costs.
Most decking installations take 3–5 days once materials are on site and access is confirmed. Smaller, straightforward platforms can be quicker, while raised decking, multi-level layouts or integrated lighting can add time. Ground preparation also matters: uneven levels, drainage improvements, or extra footings will extend the schedule. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and keep you updated throughout the build.
Decking is often permitted development, especially when it’s low to the ground and within normal garden boundaries. Planning may be needed if the deck is significantly raised, affects privacy, or sits in a restricted area, and rules can differ for flats or listed buildings. For any decking coulsdon area project, we’ll flag potential issues during the survey and advise what to check before work starts, so you stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by poor fixing, subframe problems, or installation defects. It doesn’t cover general wear and tear, storm damage, or lack of routine maintenance (particularly for natural timber). Many decking boards also come with manufacturer warranties, especially composite products. We’ll explain what applies to your chosen materials and how to care for them.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and can build raised decks, multi-level layouts and steps for awkward levels. For a modern finish, composite boards in grey or warm tones are popular and easy to maintain. If you prefer a natural look, hardwood offers rich colour and durability. We can also add decking with lighting for safer access and evening ambience. We’ll recommend options based on sun exposure, usage and upkeep preferences.
