Chelsea gardens often need a practical surface that still looks exceptional, especially around patios and rear extensions. We design and install timber decking that complements properties near King’s Road and the Chelsea Physic Garden. From compact courtyards to larger family gardens, we build clean lines, safe edges and seamless transitions to lawns and planting. Every deck is made to feel like a natural extension of your home.
Our team understands the expectations that come with Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments across SW3 and SW10. Many gardens in the timber decking Chelsea area are long and narrow, with changes in level and limited side access. We plan layouts that maximise usable space, incorporate discreet drainage gaps, and keep thresholds tidy at doors and steps. The result is a deck that looks considered, not added on.
We start with a site survey, then specify the right subframe, fixings and board type for longevity. You’ll receive clear options for grooved boards, smooth finishes, balustrades, steps and built-in seating, along with staining choices to suit your scheme. Our installations are tidy and scheduled to minimise disruption, with careful protection of existing paving and planting. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Working across the timber decking in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we’re used to tight access routes, controlled parking and timed deliveries. Ground conditions can vary, so we build stable subframes with correct ventilation and moisture clearance. We also factor in neighbouring boundaries and privacy, which is important for closely set terraces around Fulham and South Kensington. Our approach keeps the build compliant, durable and considerate to your street.

Costs vary by size, access and material choice. As a guide, treated softwood decking commonly starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, while hardwoods are often £180–£280+ per m². Extras such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating, lighting preparation and staining will increase the total. Restricted access and parking constraints in SW3/SW10 can also affect labour time and delivery costs.
Most projects take 2–5 days once materials are on site, depending on deck size and complexity. A small courtyard deck may be completed in 1–2 days, while larger multi-level layouts with steps, balustrades or built-in seating can take a week or more. Timescales are influenced by ground preparation, drying time for stains, and access limitations typical of Chelsea terraces and mansion blocks.
Decking is often permitted development when it stays within certain height limits and doesn’t significantly alter the property’s appearance. However, rules can be stricter for listed buildings, conservation areas, and properties with specific lease or freeholder conditions—common in Chelsea. We’ll advise on likely requirements, check constraints, and can help you prepare information for the council or managing agent before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity, fixings and subframe performance when maintained correctly. Timber itself is a natural material, so movement and weathering can occur; we mitigate this with correct spacing, ventilation and suitable treated timber or hardwood. Manufacturer warranties on boards and stains may also apply, depending on the products selected.
You can choose treated softwood for value, or durable hardwood for a higher-end finish. We offer grooved boards or smooth boards, plus options for hidden fixings, picture-frame edging, and integrated steps. Balustrades and built-in seating work well for roof terraces and raised decks. We’ll guide you on colour and staining to match brickwork, paving and planting schemes typical of Chelsea properties.
