Addiscombe homeowners often want a clean, level space for dining, play and summer entertaining. We design and install decks that suit compact CR0 gardens as well as wider plots near Ashburton Park. Whether you’re connecting a kitchen door to the lawn or creating a raised platform, we’ll tailor the layout to your garden’s shape and levels. Expect crisp edges, safe transitions and a finish that complements your planting.
Our local team works across Addiscombe, East Croydon and Shirley, so we understand the mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis. These properties frequently have stepped thresholds and changing ground levels, which makes good subframe design essential. We can build around existing patios, bay windows and side returns, keeping access practical and the deck proportionate. If you want a warmer, traditional look or a contemporary linear style, we’ll match the timber and detailing to your home.
We start with a site visit, measurements and clear recommendations on structure, drainage and finishes. Your deck is built on a robust, ventilated subframe with quality fixings and neat edging, then finished with staining if you’d like extra colour and protection. We keep the site tidy, communicate timings, and check every step and balustrade for stability. Local clients choose us because the workmanship is consistent and the aftercare is straightforward.
Gardens around Addiscombe tram stop and Woodside can have tight access and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and cutting accordingly. We also account for typical Croydon clay soils and drainage, using proper footings and airflow beneath the deck to reduce movement and moisture issues. Where gardens slope, we design stepped levels and secure handrails to keep it comfortable and compliant. If council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the build practical for everyday use.

Costs vary by size, height, access and timber choice. As a guide, softwood decking typically starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, while hardwood is often £180–£280+ per m². Extras such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating, complex shapes, or staining will increase the total. We’ll provide a clear, itemised estimate after a site visit in CR0.
Most decking projects take 2–5 days once materials are on site. A small, straightforward ground-level deck can be completed in 1–2 days, while raised decks with steps, balustrades or built-in seating may take a week or more. Timescales depend on access, ground preparation, weather, and whether we’re removing an old deck or levelling the area first. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s low to the ground and not significantly altering levels. However, rules can change if the deck is raised, close to boundaries, affects privacy, or your home is in a restricted status. We’ll discuss heights and railings at design stage and can help you check Croydon guidance if needed. We always build with safety and good neighbour considerations in mind.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our timber decking installations. This covers issues arising from installation, such as subframe integrity, fixings, and structural stability when used as intended. Timber is a natural material, so seasonal movement and weathering are normal, but we reduce risks with treated timber, correct ventilation and quality fixings. We’ll also advise on cleaning and re-staining intervals to keep it looking its best.
We install softwood, hardwood and treated timber decking, with options like grooved boards or smooth finishes depending on the look you prefer. Design features can include steps, balustrades, built-in seating, planters, and multi-level platforms for sloping gardens. Many clients choose staining to enrich colour and improve water resistance. We’ll help you compare durability, maintenance and appearance so the final design suits your home and how you use the space.
