A well-built deck makes a Penge garden easier to use, whatever the season. We design and install decking that works for real life—morning coffee, family meals, and summer gatherings—without the mud and uneven paving. Homeowners around Penge High Street and SE20 often ask for low-maintenance finishes that still look premium. We can also integrate steps, planters and lighting for a polished, practical layout.
Penge has a strong mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, many with long, narrow rear gardens. That shape suits clever solutions like raised platforms, split levels and built-in seating to create distinct zones. Properties near Penge East station and towards Anerley frequently need careful access planning for materials and waste removal. We tailor the structure and board choice to suit sun, shade and how you actually use the space.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and design advice, then recommend the right subframe, fixings and drainage approach. Every deck is built with proper foundations, ventilation and clean detailing so it lasts. You’ll get a written scope of works, a clear schedule (typically 3–5 days), and a tidy site at the end of each day. Local homeowners trust us because we communicate well, turn up when we say we will, and stand behind our workmanship.
Gardens in the decking Penge area often sit behind period homes with limited side access, so we plan deliveries, cutting and waste removal to minimise disruption. Ground conditions can vary, with compacted soil and old patio bases common, so we choose the right footings and allow for drainage and airflow under the deck. We also consider parking and neighbour proximity, especially near Alexandra Recreation Ground and busier streets. If any rules apply, we’ll help you keep the project compliant in the London Borough of Bromley.

Most decking projects in SE20 fall within £100–£200 per square metre, depending on materials and the structure beneath. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite tend to sit higher due to board cost and fixings. Typical total spend is around £2,500–£8,000 for an average garden deck, with raised designs, steps, balustrades and lighting increasing the overall budget.
Most decks take 3–5 days from ground prep to final fixings, assuming reasonable access and straightforward levels. Raised or multi-level decking, complex steps, or integrated lighting can add time, as can removing old structures and disposing of waste. Weather also plays a part, particularly when we’re setting posts or working on subframes. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site survey and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it stays low and doesn’t significantly raise the ground level. However, rules can change if the deck is elevated, close to boundaries, or if your property is a flat, conversion, or in a restricted area. We’ll ask the right questions, check the likely requirements, and advise if you should speak with Bromley Council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural fixing, subframe integrity and installation defects when the deck has been used and maintained normally. Material warranties vary by product—composite boards, for example, often come with manufacturer cover against fading or cracking. We’ll explain what applies to your chosen boards and provide care guidance to help your deck perform long term.
We install softwood decking for a classic look and strong value, hardwood decking for rich colour and durability, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent finish. Design options include raised decking to level awkward gardens, multi-level layouts to create dining and lounging zones, and decking with lighting for steps and edges. We’ll help you choose based on budget, slip resistance, sun exposure and the style of your home.
