A well-built deck turns an awkward patch of lawn into a clean, usable outdoor room. We design and install decking for homes across SW17, from Tooting Bec to Tooting Broadway. Whether you want space for dining, a safer step-out from the back doors, or a sun-trap near the garden, we tailor the layout to how you actually use it. Many clients ask for finishes that complement the character around Tooting Bec Common.
Tooting’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have long, narrow gardens and tight side access. We’re used to working around mansion conversions where levels vary and drainage can be tricky. Our designs make the most of width, create clear zones, and keep thresholds neat. If your garden slopes or you need to bridge over services, raised decking can create a level, comfortable surface.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear written specification, then prepare a stable subframe with correct ventilation and fixings. Every build includes careful edging, tidy steps where required, and safe handrails if the height demands it. We protect surrounding paving and planting, keep disruption down, and leave the site clean each day. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
We regularly install decking in London Borough of Wandsworth, where access can be tight and parking needs planning. Many Tooting gardens have clay-heavy soil, so we build stable footings and allow for drainage and airflow under the deck. For homes near Tooting Broadway station and the busier streets, we plan deliveries to minimise disruption. Designs are adapted to Victorian layouts, boundary lines and existing paving levels.

For decking in the Tooting area, most projects fall between £100–£200 per square metre, depending on materials and complexity. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite sit at the higher end. Typical total costs are around £2,500–£8,000 for many SW17 gardens, influenced by size, raised sections, steps, handrails, lighting, and ground preparation requirements.
Most decking installations take 3–5 days from start to finish, assuming straightforward access and good weather. Smaller, ground-level decks can be quicker, while raised or multi-level builds take longer due to extra framing, steps and balustrades. Timescales can also change if we’re integrating lighting, dealing with uneven ground, or working around existing patios, drains, or limited access typical of terrace homes.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s low level and doesn’t significantly change ground height. However, rules can be different for raised decking, balconies, or properties in conservation areas, and there may be restrictions linked to overlooking and boundary heights. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check the relevant Wandsworth guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for decking installations, covering issues such as subframe integrity, fixings, and installation-related movement when the deck has been used and maintained normally. Material warranties vary by manufacturer, particularly for composite boards and lighting components, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen products. We also give aftercare advice to keep the finish performing well.
We install softwood, hardwood and composite decking, with design options ranging from simple ground-level platforms to raised and multi-level layouts. Popular choices in SW17 include composite for low maintenance, hardwood for a premium natural look, and raised decking to level out sloped gardens. We can add built-in steps, planters and decking with lighting for safer evenings. We’ll help you choose based on budget, shade, usage and desired finish.
