Brockley gardens deserve practical, good-looking outdoor space that works in every season. We design and install timber decking that complements the area’s character, from weekend hosting after Brockley Market to quiet evenings overlooking Hilly Fields. Whether you need a small platform for a bistro set or a multi-level layout for entertaining, we tailor the build to your plot and lifestyle. Expect clean lines, safe edges, and a finish that elevates the whole garden.
Homes across SE4 include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, often with long, narrow gardens and changes in level. Our timber decking Brockley area designs make the most of awkward corners, rear extensions and side returns, adding usable space without overwhelming the planting. We’re also used to access constraints through narrow passageways and shared paths, common around Honor Oak and Crofton Park. The result is a deck that feels considered, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear options on materials, board direction and edge details. Subframes are built for strength and drainage, with treated timber where needed, and fixings chosen to reduce movement and squeaks. We keep the site tidy, protect lawns and borders, and finish with staining or oiling for colour and longevity. Local homeowners value our straightforward scheduling, workmanship, and aftercare advice.
Many Brockley gardens have clay-heavy ground and mature planting, so we design subframes with stable footings and good ventilation. Access and parking can be tight near New Cross and Ladywell, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and party walls typical of terraces, keeping lines straight and levels accurate. If council considerations apply, we’ll guide you through what’s sensible for your property.

Costs vary by size, height, access and material choice. As a guide, softwood decking installed typically starts around £120–£180 per m², while hardwood is often £180–£260+ per m². Extras such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating, lighting channels, and staining will add to the total. We’ll survey your SE4 garden and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most projects take 2–5 days from ground prep to final finish, depending on complexity. A small, low-level deck can be completed in a couple of days, while multi-level builds with steps, balustrades or seating may take a week or more. Timescales are affected by access routes, ground conditions, drainage requirements and drying time for stains or oils. We confirm a schedule before work starts.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it’s low level and doesn’t significantly raise the ground. However, rules can change if the deck is high, close to boundaries, affects privacy, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise whether you should check with Lewisham Council before proceeding.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our decking installations, covering structural integrity and installation-related issues such as fixings, subframe performance and stability. Material warranties vary by supplier and timber type, and we’ll confirm these in your quote. To keep the warranty valid, we recommend routine cleaning and periodic re-staining or oiling, especially in shaded gardens.
You can choose from softwood, hardwood and treated timber subframes, with board styles including grooved boards and smooth finishes. Popular design options include picture-frame edging, wide steps, balustrades for raised areas, and built-in seating for entertaining. We’ll help you select colours and protection with staining or oiling based on sun exposure and planting. Every layout is designed to suit your garden’s shape and levels.
