A well-built deck creates a level, usable space for dining, play and entertaining, even in compact SE13 gardens. We design timber decking that works with your layout, sunlight and privacy needs. Many clients near Hither Green station want a clean transition from kitchen doors to garden. We can also add steps and balustrades to make changes in level safe and attractive.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have long, narrow gardens that benefit from a defined seating zone. For 1930s semis, we frequently create larger decks that connect patios, lawns and side returns. We’ll advise on board direction, drainage falls and edging so the deck looks crisp against brickwork and planting. If you’re close to Mountsfield Park or Manor Park, we’ll tailor the design to suit how you use the garden day-to-day.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss finishes such as staining and grooved boards for extra grip. Your deck is built on a properly supported subframe with quality fixings, then finished neatly around borders and thresholds. We keep the job tidy, protect access routes, and provide clear care advice to extend the life of the timber. Fine Landscaping is based just 25 minutes away, so support is always close by.
Gardens across the London Borough of Lewisham can have variable ground conditions, from compacted soil to areas that hold water after heavy rain. We set correct falls and ventilation gaps to reduce pooling and help boards dry out. Access can be tight on Victorian terraces around Lee and Lewisham, so we plan materials delivery and waste removal carefully. Where parking is controlled, we schedule efficiently to minimise disruption.

Costs vary with size, height, access and the timber you choose. As a guide, treated softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, while hardwood is commonly £180–£280+ per m². Extras such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating, or complex shapes can increase the total. We’ll provide an itemised quote after a site visit in the SE13 area.
Most domestic decks take 2–5 days from ground prep to final fixings, depending on size and complexity. Smaller, straightforward platforms can be completed in a couple of days, while raised decks with steps, balustrades and seating may take a week. Timescales are affected by access, the amount of levelling required, and weather. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it’s low-level and doesn’t significantly raise the ground. However, rules can change if the deck is elevated, affects privacy, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll discuss heights and boundaries at the survey stage and can help you check Lewisham guidance if needed. When in doubt, we recommend confirming with the council.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our timber decking installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by poor fixing or subframe construction. Materials are also covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by product and treatment type. The warranty doesn’t cover neglect, impact damage or natural weathering, but we’ll advise on cleaning and staining schedules to keep the deck performing well for years.
We install treated softwood and premium hardwood decking, with a choice of smooth or grooved boards depending on the look and grip you want. Designs can include picture-frame borders, curved edges, raised platforms, and multi-level layouts. We can add steps, balustrades and built-in seating to make the space safer and more usable. For finishing, we’ll recommend stains or oils to suit your preferred colour and maintenance level.
