Crystal Palace gardens often make the most of the hilltop setting, and a well-built deck is perfect for enjoying those views. We design and install decking for homes across SE19 and SE20, from compact courtyards to larger family gardens. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Gipsy Hill, we tailor levels, steps and balustrades to suit your layout. Expect a clean finish, crisp lines and a surface that feels solid underfoot.
Local properties include Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, many with long, sloping plots. That’s where raised decking and multi-level platforms can create usable zones without major excavation. We match materials and detailing to your home’s character, keeping sightlines open and transitions tidy from kitchen doors, patios and side returns. If access is tight, we plan deliveries and cutting to minimise disruption.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear recommendations on structure, drainage and finishes. Our builds use the right joist spacing, fixings and ventilation to reduce movement and prolong lifespan, with optional integrated lighting for safer evenings. You’ll get a clear schedule (typically 3–5 days) and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy working practices and consistently high standards.
Decking here often spans boundaries across the London Borough of Bromley/Croydon/Lambeth/Southwark/Lewisham, and we’re used to differing expectations on waste, parking and access. Many streets around Upper Norwood and Anerley have limited loading space, so we schedule deliveries carefully and keep materials secure. Hillside gardens can need deeper posts, stronger subframes and thoughtful drainage to prevent pooling. We build to suit the site, not a one-size template.

For decking in the Crystal Palace area, budgets typically fall between £100 and £200 per square metre depending on material and complexity. Most homeowners spend around £2,500 to £8,000 for a complete installation. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite increase the price. Raised or multi-level builds, steps, balustrades and decking with lighting also affect the overall cost.
Most projects take 3–5 days from start to finish, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Timescales can extend if you’re having raised decking, multiple levels, complex steps, or integrated lighting and electrical work. Ground preparation, removal of old decking, and working around drains or manholes can also add time. We confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and keep you updated throughout the build.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it stays low to the ground and doesn’t significantly alter the property’s appearance. However, rules can change with raised decking, balconies, listed buildings, flats/maisonettes, or conservation areas. Because Crystal Palace spans multiple boroughs, requirements can vary. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check the relevant council guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues related to fitting, structure and build quality when used and maintained as advised. This includes the subframe, fixings and installation standards that affect stability and longevity. Materials (such as composite boards or lighting components) may also carry separate manufacturer warranties, which we’ll explain clearly. If anything needs attention, we respond promptly and put it right.
We install softwood decking for great value, hardwood decking for a premium natural finish, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking for sloped plots, multi-level layouts to zone dining and lounging, and steps with integrated lighting. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging details and colours that suit your home and garden. Samples and practical advice make decisions easy.
