Croydon's mix of housing presents unique opportunities for timber decking. Those narrow side returns on period properties? Perfect for extending your living space. Got one of those generous plots near Shirley Hills? A multi-level deck could create distinct zones for dining and relaxation. Clay soil giving you drainage headaches? Raised decking solves that while adding serious style points.
Quality timber selection makes all the difference in South London's changeable climate. Hardwoods like oak and cedar naturally resist moisture - crucial when you're dealing with Croydon's occasional flooding zones. Proper foundation work prevents that dreaded bounce, whilst strategic positioning maximises those precious sunny spots. Smart joist spacing and hidden fixings ensure your deck looks pristine for decades, not just the first summer.
Twenty years fitting decks across South London means knowing exactly which timber thrives in CR postcodes. Local knowledge counts when you're navigating planning permissions near conservation areas or working around mature trees protected by the council.

Budget £120-250 per square metre depending on timber choice. A standard 20sqm deck for a Croydon semi typically runs £2,400-5,000, including groundwork and balustrades.
Absolutely - from Thornton Heath's Victorian streets (CR7) to the leafy roads around Purley (CR2), plus central Croydon (CR0). Regular projects in Waddon, Selhurst and South Croydon too.
Most residential decks take 3-5 days from breaking ground to final oil treatment. Larger or complex designs might need a full week, weather permitting.
Every deck carries a decade-long structural warranty covering framework integrity and installation quality. Premium hardwoods often outlast this significantly with proper maintenance.
Cedar and treated pine handle our wet winters brilliantly, whilst tropical hardwoods like Ipe offer unmatched longevity. Each has different maintenance needs - cedar greys beautifully without treatment, pine needs annual preservation.
