A well-built deck turns an awkward lawn edge or sloping garden into a practical outdoor room. We design and install decking for CR2 homeowners, creating clean transitions from patio doors to seating and dining zones. Whether you’re near Sanderstead Recreation Ground or walking distance from All Saints Church, we’ll tailor the layout to how you use the space. Expect crisp lines, safe steps, and finishes that suit your home’s style.
Sanderstead is known for large detached houses, executive homes and characterful period properties, often with generous rear gardens. We regularly work across the decking Sanderstead area, including Purley, Selsdon and Hamsey Green, where clients want premium finishes and low-maintenance options. From family-friendly entertaining spaces to quieter reading corners, we plan for furniture footprints, BBQ zones and storage. We also consider privacy screening and planting so the deck feels integrated, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and confirm access for materials. You’ll receive clear recommendations on subframe build-up, fixings and board direction, plus a tidy schedule for a 3–5 day installation. Our team works neatly, protects lawns and borders, and keeps you updated at each stage. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, gardens can vary from firm ground to clay-heavy patches that hold water, so we specify subframe heights and drainage gaps accordingly. In Sanderstead, access can be tight at the side of larger homes, so we plan deliveries and cutting areas to reduce disruption. We also factor in parking constraints on residential roads and keep waste removal organised. The result is decking that stays stable, drains well and suits the property’s proportions.

Most projects in Sanderstead fall between £100–£200 per square metre, depending on the material and build complexity. A typical total budget is £2,500–£8,000 for a family-sized deck with a proper subframe and steps. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite sit higher. Raised or multi-level designs, lighting, and tricky access can increase labour and materials.
Decking installation typically takes 3–5 days for an average garden, assuming straightforward access and stable ground. Time can extend if the deck is raised, includes multiple levels, requires substantial ground preparation, or needs custom steps and handrails. Weather can also affect progress, especially during subframe setting and finishing. We agree a clear schedule in advance and keep the site tidy and usable where possible.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Raised decking, changes to ground levels, proximity to boundaries, or work affecting listed buildings and conservation considerations can trigger additional requirements. In the London Borough of Croydon we’ll flag any likely issues early and advise on next steps. If permissions or approvals are needed, we can help you gather the right information before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering our workmanship, including the structural integrity of the subframe and installation standards when maintained correctly. This means fixings, joist layout and build quality are backed for long-term confidence. Manufacturer warranties on decking boards vary by product, especially for composite and hardwood, and we’ll explain those options clearly. We also share care guidance to keep surfaces safe and looking their best.
We install softwood decking for a classic look and value, hardwood for a premium natural finish, and composite for low-maintenance durability. Design options include raised decking to level out slopes, multi-level platforms for zoning, and integrated lighting for steps and edges. We’ll help you choose board colour, width and direction to suit your home and garden. During the survey we’ll also advise on anti-slip finishes and privacy screening ideas.
