Greenwich gardens often deserve a finish that matches their setting, from views near the Cutty Sark to plots bordering Greenwich Park. Our decks create a clean, level outdoor area for dining, lounging and safer access to lawns. Choose softwood or hardwood, with treated timber options for long-term durability. We also install steps, balustrades and built-in seating to make the space practical.
Across SE10 you’ll find Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and modern waterfront apartments, each with different levels, sightlines and access. We design decking to suit compact courtyards in Deptford, larger family gardens in Charlton, and terraces around Maze Hill. Where privacy matters, we can integrate balustrades and screening details without making the deck feel boxed in. The result is a layout that fits the property rather than forcing a standard shape.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and the best board direction for a crisp finish. Your deck is built on a robust subframe with quality fixings, then finished with optional grooved boards and professional staining for colour and protection. We keep the job tidy, communicate timings clearly, and ensure safe edges, steps and handrails where needed. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, premium materials and a finish that stays true over time.
In the timber decking Greenwich area, we often work with mixed ground conditions, from compacted clay to made-up soil near older terraces. Access can be tight around Blackheath and Maze Hill, so we plan deliveries, parking and cut lists to reduce disruption. We build with ventilation and drainage in mind to help timber cope with London weather and shaded gardens. If your property sits within conservation considerations, we’ll advise on sympathetic detailing and check requirements.

Costs vary with size, height, access and the timber you choose. As a guide, softwood decking commonly starts around £120–£180 per m² supplied and fitted, while hardwood typically ranges from £180–£300+ per m². Add-ons such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating, complex subframes or staining will increase the overall budget. We’ll provide a clear, itemised quote after a site survey in SE10.
Most standard decks take 2–5 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. A small, low-level platform in a modern garden can be completed quickly, while raised decks with steps, balustrades and seating may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground preparation, drainage adjustments, awkward access in Greenwich streets, and drying time if you choose staining immediately after installation.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it’s low-level and doesn’t significantly raise the ground height. However, rules can change if the deck is high, close to boundaries, affects privacy, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can help you check Royal Borough of Greenwich guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our timber decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity of the subframe, fixings and installation-related movement. Timber is a natural material, so seasonal expansion, colour change and surface weathering are normal; staining and maintenance help manage this. Material warranties vary by supplier and timber type, and we’ll confirm what applies to your chosen softwood, hardwood or treated boards in writing.
You can choose softwood for value, hardwood for a premium look, or treated timber for added durability. Board options include smooth or grooved boards, with hidden or face fixings depending on the design. We can add steps, balustrades, built-in seating and edge details to suit family use or entertaining. We’ll help you select colours and finishes, including staining, to complement brickwork, paving and planting around your Greenwich home.
