Holland Park gardens often need a calm, architectural outdoor surface that complements brickwork, stone and mature planting. We design and install decking that works beautifully for entertaining after a walk through Kyoto Garden or a weekend at the Design Museum. From compact courtyards to generous rear gardens, we create clean lines, safe edges and comfortable transitions to lawns and patios. Every deck is set out precisely to maximise usable space.
Local homes include large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and other period properties across W11 and W14, where levels can be tricky and boundaries are tight. We’re used to working with raised thresholds, basement lightwells and existing paving that needs a seamless join. If you’re in Kensington, Notting Hill or Earl’s Court, we can match the deck style to your architecture and garden proportions. For exposed roof terraces, we specify fixings and finishes that cope with wind and weather.
Our process starts with a site survey, moisture and level checks, then a clear written specification for subframe, boards and drainage. We use treated timber where appropriate, install proper ventilation and allow for expansion to reduce movement. You’ll get tidy working practices, careful material deliveries and a finish that’s ready for staining when conditions are right. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent options and a 10-year warranty.
In the timber decking Holland Park area, access is often via side returns or narrow passages, so we plan deliveries and cutting to minimise disruption. Many gardens sit over mixed ground and older drainage runs, so we build subframes with correct airflow and falls to avoid trapped moisture. Parking and loading can be restrictive around Holland Park and Shepherd’s Bush, so we schedule efficiently and keep sites organised. We also consider period detailing and boundary constraints typical of Victorian plots.

Costs vary with size, timber type and complexity. As a guide, softwood decking commonly starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, while hardwood is often £180–£280+ per m². Steps, balustrades, built-in seating, complex cut-ins around drains or trees, and premium staining will increase the total. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit in W11 or W14.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 days from setting out to final fix, depending on access and whether old surfaces need removal. Larger builds with multiple levels, steps, balustrades or built-in seating can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground preparation, drainage adjustments, and weather conditions for staining. We confirm a programme before work starts and keep disruption controlled.
Timber decking is often permitted development, but rules can change if the deck is raised significantly, affects privacy, or sits within a listed building or conservation area—both common locally. There may also be conditions linked to drainage or boundary treatments. We’ll advise during the survey, check likely constraints for your street, and can help you understand what RBKC may require before installation begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our decking installations, covering issues such as fixing failure, subframe problems caused by installation, and structural movement beyond normal seasonal changes. Timber is a natural material, so cosmetic changes like slight colour variation or weathering aren’t classed as faults, but we’ll advise on staining and maintenance to keep it looking its best. Manufacturer guarantees on boards and treatments also apply where relevant.
We offer softwood, hardwood and treated timber solutions, with board choices including grooved boards and smooth finishes depending on the look and maintenance you prefer. Popular upgrades include integrated steps, balustrades for elevated edges, and built-in seating for entertaining. Staining options range from natural tones to darker contemporary finishes. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and drainage, and design a layout that suits your property and garden use.
