If your garden needs a clean, level space for dining, lounging or entertaining, our decking service delivers a crisp, practical finish. We work across CR7, including homes near Thornton Heath station and walks by Grangewood Park. From compact patios to longer rear gardens, we design layouts that make every metre count. Expect tidy workmanship, clear communication and a deck that looks right from day one.
Thornton Heath’s well-connected streets are full of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses, each with different garden shapes and access. We’re used to narrow side returns, shared boundaries and older paving levels that need careful setting-out. Whether you want a simple platform outside the kitchen doors or a raised deck to level a sloping lawn, we tailor the build to your property. We also match finishes to brickwork, fencing and existing planting so it feels intentional, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss how you’ll use the space and recommend the best material for your budget. Our team prepares a stable subframe, checks drainage, and fits boards with consistent spacing and neat edges. We can include steps, handrails and subtle lighting to improve safety and evening use. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful neighbours-first working, and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
Gardens around Thornton Heath often have mixed ground conditions and older hardstanding that needs careful preparation. We plan subframe height to protect airflow and reduce moisture issues, and we manage run-off so water doesn’t pool near the house. Access can be tight on terrace streets, so we schedule deliveries sensibly and keep the site organised. Our experience with decking in the Thornton Heath area means fewer surprises and a smoother build.

Most projects in Thornton Heath fall between £100–£200 per square metre, depending on the material and complexity. As a guide, typical total costs are around £2,500–£8,000 for a well-built deck including the subframe and standard finishing. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite sit higher. Raised decks, steps, handrails and lighting will increase the overall spend.
A straightforward deck is usually completed in 3–5 days, including ground preparation and fitting. Timescales can extend if you’re choosing a raised or multi-level design, adding lighting, or if the site needs extra work to correct levels and drainage. Weather can also affect curing and safe working conditions. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit and keep you updated throughout the build.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it stays at a sensible height and doesn’t create overlooking or safety issues. However, rules can change for raised platforms, properties in special designations, or where boundaries and privacy are sensitive. We’ll ask the right questions during the survey and can advise what’s likely to apply in the London Borough of Croydon. If needed, we’ll help you gather details before you proceed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues such as subframe integrity, fixings and installation-related movement when the deck has been used and maintained normally. Material warranties vary by supplier, particularly for composite boards, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen product. We also give clear care guidance to help prevent staining, algae and premature wear. Any concerns after completion are handled promptly and professionally.
We install softwood decking for great value, hardwood decking for a premium natural finish, and composite decking for low-maintenance durability. Design options include raised decking to level awkward gardens, multi-level layouts for zoning, and integrated lighting for steps and edges. We’ll help you choose board colour, orientation and edging details to suit your home and garden. During the survey, we’ll talk through slip resistance, shade, drainage and how you plan to use the space.
