Those sloping gardens characteristic of TN16 properties present unique opportunities for multi-level timber decking. Whether your home overlooks the valley or backs onto woodland, a well-designed deck creates usable space where lawn maintenance becomes a chore. Local homeowners increasingly recognise how decking suits our clay-heavy soil, particularly during those inevitable wet spells.
Proper timber selection matters enormously in our climate. Pressure-treated softwood handles Biggin Hill's temperature swings admirably, whilst cedar naturally resists the moisture that rolls up from the valleys. Foundation posts sink deep below frost level, secured with postcrete to prevent seasonal movement. Each board gets precisely spaced for drainage, preventing the pooling issues that plague poorly installed decks.
Twenty years of building decks around Keston, Westerham and Tatsfield means understanding exactly how local weather patterns affect timber structures. Every project receives the same meticulous attention, whether it's a compact courtyard deck or an expansive entertainment area wrapping around a period property.

Basic softwood decking typically ranges £95-120 per square metre, whilst premium hardwood installations reach £150-200. Most TN16 gardens suit 25-40m² decks, placing typical projects between £2,500-6,000 including all groundwork and finishing.
Absolutely - from properties near the airfield to homes bordering Westerham Heights. Regular projects span Keston Mark, through central Biggin Hill, extending to Tatsfield's boundaries.
Standard residential decks complete within 4-7 working days, weather permitting. Complex multi-tier designs or those requiring significant ground preparation might extend to 10-12 days.
Each deck carries comprehensive ten-year structural coverage, protecting against foundation failure and frame integrity issues. Timber boards receive separate manufacturer warranties, typically 15-25 years against rot when properly maintained.
European redwood proves exceptionally popular, offering excellent value and 15-year lifespan with annual treatment. Cedar costs more initially but requires minimal maintenance, developing attractive silver tones. Composite alternatives suit those seeking zero-maintenance options, though lack timber's natural warmth underfoot.
