Hayes gardens deserve more than just a patch of lawn. Whether you're overlooking the green spaces near Keston Common or tucked behind a Victorian terrace, timber decking opens up possibilities your patio never could.
Response within 24 hours
Those generous plots common around Hayes and West Wickham practically beg for proper outdoor entertaining areas. Timber decking suits the character of BR2's mix of period properties and newer builds, creating seamless transitions between house and garden. Local homeowners increasingly recognise how quality decking transforms unused slopes and awkward corners into functional spaces.
Selecting appropriate timber involves understanding how Hayes' clay-heavy soil affects drainage and foundation requirements. Pressure-treated softwoods handle our damp winters admirably, whilst hardwoods like cedar bring natural resistance to the occasional flooding near Keston Ponds. Proper joist spacing and ventilation prevent the warping issues that plague poorly installed decks throughout Bromley borough.
Twenty years fitting decks across BR2 means knowing which suppliers deliver genuinely seasoned timber, not the green stuff that'll twist within months. Every installation gets the same attention, whether it's a compact courtyard behind Station Road or sprawling grounds near Hayes Common.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most BR2 properties with standard 40-60sqm rear gardens see completed projects between £4,500-£8,000, depending on timber grade and site complexity. Sloped gardens near Pickhurst Lane often require additional groundwork.
Absolutely - from Hayes Village through to the Bromley borders, including properties near West Wickham station and throughout Keston. Regular projects across all BR2 neighbourhoods.
Typical BR2 gardens see completion within 4-7 days after materials delivery. Weather permitting, smaller raised decks finish in 2-3 days, whilst multi-level designs naturally take longer.
Each deck installation carries decade-long structural coverage, protecting against foundation movement and joist failure. Timber manufacturers' warranties apply separately to the boards themselves.
Composite boards excel under heavy tree cover where traditional timber might develop algae. For natural wood, Western Red Cedar resists moisture beautifully in shaded spots common near Hayes Common's woodland edges.
