Those generous BR7 plots often slope dramatically towards the back – perfect terrain for multi-level decking that creates usable space where lawn struggles. Victorian and Edwardian properties throughout Chislehurst benefit particularly from raised platforms that bridge the gap between period architecture and modern outdoor living. Hardwood options like Balau or Ipe weather beautifully against red brick, whilst composite boards suit contemporary extensions perfectly.
Ground preparation remains crucial given Chislehurst's clay-heavy soil and occasional springs. Steel posts driven deep prevent seasonal movement, whilst proper membrane installation stops vegetation pushing through gaps. Integrated lighting transforms evening entertaining, especially effective when washing across textured grain patterns. Hidden fixings eliminate surface screws, creating seamless expanses that flow naturally from French doors or bi-folds.
Local knowledge matters when navigating conservation area restrictions around Camden Park Road. Years working between Bromley and Sidcup means understanding which materials suit different architectural periods across BR7.

Medium-sized installations (30-40m²) generally range £4,500-£7,000 including groundwork. Premium hardwoods or complex split-level designs push towards £8,000-£12,000. Smaller courtyard projects start around £2,800.
Absolutely – from Bickley Park across to Mottingham, throughout BR7 and neighbouring districts. Regular projects span Elmstead Woods to Petts Wood borders.
Most BR7 gardens see completion within 5-8 working days after starting. Larger terraced designs or those requiring significant levelling might extend to 10-12 days.
Every deck carries decade-long structural coverage, protecting against installation defects. Premium timber selections include 25-year anti-rot guarantees, whilst composite boards often feature lifetime warranties against splitting or fading.
Composite excels for minimal maintenance – no annual treatments needed despite our damp winters. However, properly treated hardwoods develop stunning silver patinas that complement period properties beautifully. Both handle frost and summer heat effectively when correctly installed with adequate drainage.
