A well-designed deck gives you a level, usable space for dining, relaxing and entertaining from spring through autumn. We install decking across DA1 and DA2, including projects near Central Park and around Greenhithe. Whether you want a small seating platform or a full garden transformation, we tailor the layout to your home and how you use the space. Expect crisp edges, solid subframes and finishes that look smart year after year.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new developments means no two gardens are the same. Narrow plots often suit clever multi-level steps and built-in benches, while larger rear gardens in Wilmington or Stone can take expansive entertaining areas. We design around existing patios, lawn levels and drainage so the deck feels like part of the property rather than an add-on. The result is a practical outdoor room that suits your home’s character.
We start with a site survey, measure-up and clear recommendations on materials, levels and safety details. Our team prepares a stable base, installs a robust frame, then fits boards with consistent spacing and neat trims. We keep disruption low, protect access routes, and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, dependable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Gardens in the decking Dartford area often have changes in level and mixed ground conditions, so we design subframes to stay true and well-ventilated. Access can be tight on terrace rows, and parking restrictions near busier routes mean we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also factor in boundary lines, existing drains and manholes so everything remains accessible. If you’re near Bluewater Shopping Centre or closer to Swanscombe, we’ll recommend materials and finishes that suit exposure and foot traffic.

For decking in Dartford Borough, most homeowners budget £100–£200 per square metre depending on the material and the build complexity. Softwood is typically the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite sit higher due to durability and finish. Typical projects come in around £2,500–£8,000, influenced by size, raised sections, steps, balustrades, and any integrated lighting or built-in seating.
Most decking installations take 3–5 days once materials are confirmed and access is arranged. Smaller, ground-level platforms can be quicker, while raised or multi-level decks take longer due to extra framing, steps and safety details. Timescales also depend on ground preparation, drainage adjustments, and whether we’re adding lighting or removing an old deck. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s low to the ground and doesn’t significantly alter the property’s appearance. However, raised decking, balustrades, or work near boundaries can trigger extra considerations, and rules can differ for listed buildings or conservation areas. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you check Dartford Borough Council guidance before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation issues such as subframe integrity, fixings and structural stability when the deck is used and maintained normally. Manufacturer warranties on boards vary by product, particularly with composite ranges, and we’ll explain what’s included before you choose materials. We also give care guidance to help prevent staining, algae build-up and premature wear.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, and we can design raised decking, multi-level layouts, and steps to suit sloping gardens. Popular upgrades include hidden fixings, picture-frame borders, integrated LED lighting, and built-in planters or seating. If you’re unsure what to choose, we’ll talk through budget, maintenance preferences and how much sun your garden gets, then recommend the best-performing option for your space.
