A well-built deck creates a clean, level space for dining, lounging and year-round use. We design and install bespoke decking for homes across SW16 and SW2, from compact courtyards to generous family gardens. Whether you’re near Streatham Common or closer to Streatham High Road, we’ll tailor the layout to how you use the space. Expect crisp edges, safe steps and a finish that looks right against your planting and paving.
Streatham’s Victorian and Edwardian houses often have long rear gardens that suit zoned, multi-level layouts. Mansion flats and modern apartments can benefit from smaller decks that maximise seating without clutter. We regularly work in Streatham Hill, Streatham Common and Streatham Vale, adapting designs to sloping plots, mature trees and existing patios. Our approach keeps the deck proportionate to period features while improving flow from kitchen or garden room.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels, and discuss materials, drainage and lighting. Your deck is built on a properly prepared subframe with accurate falls, strong fixings and neat detailing around walls and borders. We keep the job tidy, communicate progress clearly, and schedule deliveries to reduce disruption. Local homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, transparent costs and a finish that lasts.
In the decking streatham area, access can be tight through side returns and shared passages, so we plan material handling and cutting to suit. We’re familiar with Lambeth parking controls and typical delivery constraints near busier routes like Streatham High Road. Ground conditions vary from compacted clay to made-up ground in older gardens, so we specify the right foundations and ventilation to protect the structure. We also match detailing to local period brickwork, bay windows and garden walls.

Most projects in Streatham fall between £100–£200 per square metre depending on the material and build complexity. As a guide, typical total costs are around £2,500–£8,000 for a professionally installed deck including subframe, fixings and finishing trims. Softwood is usually the most affordable, while hardwood and composite sit higher. Raised decks, steps, balustrades and lighting will increase the overall budget.
Most decking installations take 3–5 days once the design and materials are confirmed. Timing depends on deck size, whether the ground needs excavation or levelling, and if you’re adding features such as raised sections, multi-level platforms, handrails or lighting. Access can also affect speed, especially for properties with narrow side passages. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly when kept at a reasonable height and not affecting neighbours’ privacy. However, rules can change for raised decking, properties in conservation areas, and listed buildings, which do exist locally. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on sensible design adjustments. If permission or landlord/freeholder approval is needed, we’ll help you gather the right information before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity, fixings and installation-related defects. This warranty applies when the deck is used normally and maintained in line with the material chosen. Manufacturer warranties for composite boards, hardwood or lighting components may also apply and can vary by product. We’ll explain what’s covered and provide care guidance to keep the deck performing well.
We install softwood decking for value, hardwood decking for a rich natural finish, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking to create level seating areas, multi-level layouts for sloped gardens, and decking with lighting for steps, edges or feature zones. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging details and colours that suit your home and planting. Every design is measured to fit your space precisely.
