Earl’s Court gardens often need clever, space-efficient upgrades that look right against Victorian brickwork. We design and install timber decking that suits everything from compact patios near Earl’s Court tube station to larger plots by Philbeach Gardens. Expect crisp edges, tidy junctions to walls and paving, and a layout that makes outdoor furniture feel properly placed. We work across SW5 and nearby streets with minimal disruption.
Our team knows the timber decking Earl's Court area well, including Kensington, West Brompton and Fulham. Many homes here are Victorian mansion conversions and period flats with shared boundaries, lightwells or raised thresholds, so levels and drainage need careful planning. We regularly build decks that step down neatly, integrate planters, or create a level dining platform outside kitchen doors. The result is a practical extension of your living space that respects the character of the property.
We start with a site visit, accurate measurements and a clear design proposal, then build on a solid subframe with correct spacing and fixings. Choose softwood, hardwood or treated timber, with options like grooved boards, balustrades, steps and built-in seating. We finish with professional staining or oiling for colour and durability, plus advice on ongoing care. Homeowners choose us for punctual workmanship, clean sites, and a 10-year warranty on installation.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many SW5 gardens sit behind mansion blocks with limited side access, which affects board lengths and subframe assembly. We also account for drainage and ventilation to protect timber near basement areas and lightwells. Our designs suit Victorian proportions and boundary lines, keeping finishes neat and neighbour-friendly.

Costs vary with size, access and timber choice. As a guide, treated softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, while hardwood is commonly £200–£320 per m². Add-ons such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating, or complex level changes can increase the total. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit, including subframe, fixings and finishing.
Most domestic decks take 2–5 days from ground prep to finishing, depending on size and complexity. Small, straightforward platforms can be completed in a couple of days, while larger decks with steps, balustrades and built-in seating may take a week or more. Timescales are affected by access in SW5, drying time for stains/oils, and any remedial work needed to improve drainage or levels.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it stays low and doesn’t create overlooking issues. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, flats with shared gardens, or where the deck height is significant. We’ll flag potential constraints during the survey and can advise on whether you should check with RBKC planning. If needed, we can work to a specification that helps keep it compliant.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as subframe integrity, fixings and structural stability when the deck is used and maintained normally. Timber itself is a natural material, so surface weathering and colour change are expected, but we’ll advise on staining/oiling to extend its life. Manufacturer warranties on treated timber or hardwood products may also apply, depending on the boards selected.
We offer treated softwood for excellent value and hardwood for a premium, long-lasting finish. Board profiles include smooth or grooved boards, and we can add picture-frame edging for a sharper look. Popular upgrades include balustrades for raised areas, wide steps for easy access, and built-in seating to maximise space in period gardens. We’ll help you choose the right timber, layout and stain colour to suit your property and lifestyle.
