A well-built deck adds level access and a clean, practical surface for dining, play and entertaining. In SE11, we regularly work near The Oval cricket ground and Kennington Park, creating decks that feel like a natural extension of the home. From compact courtyard layouts to wider family gardens, we tailor the design to your space and lifestyle. Expect crisp edges, sturdy subframes and a finish that looks right all year round.
Kennington’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often comes with varied garden levels and restricted side access. We’re used to carrying materials through narrow passages and planning around shared boundaries and lightwells. Our timber decking Kennington area service includes thoughtful detailing for period properties, such as neat picture-frame borders and discreet drainage gaps. Whether you’re in Oval, Vauxhall or close to Elephant & Castle, we design for longevity and everyday use.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and how the deck will meet doors and paths. You’ll receive clear options on treated timber, grooved boards, balustrades, steps and built-in seating, plus staining choices to match your garden style. Our installations use proper ground preparation, quality fixings and ventilation to reduce movement and rot risk. Local homeowners trust us for punctual scheduling, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens around Kennington often sit on mixed ground with older drainage runs, so we check stability and plan airflow under the deck. Access can be tight near Kennington tube station and mansion blocks, so we schedule deliveries and cutting to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary lines, overlooking and noise, especially for raised platforms. If permissions or restrictions apply in the London Borough of Lambeth, we’ll flag them early and keep the build compliant.

Costs vary with size, height, access and timber choice. As a guide, softwood decking is often around £120–£200 per m² installed, while hardwood tends to be £200–£350+ per m². Extras such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating and staining will add to the total. We’ll measure up in SE11 and provide a detailed breakdown so you can compare options confidently.
Most projects take 2–5 days once materials are on site. Small, ground-level decks can be completed in a couple of days, while raised decks with steps, balustrades or built-in seating may take a week or more. Timescales depend on ground preparation, drainage adjustments, intricate edging, and access for moving timber through Kennington’s narrower side passages. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the survey.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly alter ground levels. However, rules can change for raised platforms, properties in conservation areas, and flats or mansion blocks with lease restrictions. We’ll advise on likely requirements in the London Borough of Lambeth and can help you check permitted development limits before work starts, so there are no surprises later.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation issues such as subframe integrity, fixings and structural stability when the deck is used and maintained normally. Timber is a natural material, so cosmetic changes like weathering and colour shift are expected, especially without regular staining or oiling. We’ll explain maintenance requirements clearly and can return for re-staining to keep the finish looking sharp.
You can choose from treated softwood for value, or hardwood for a denser, premium finish. Board options include grooved boards or smoother profiles, with hidden or face fixings depending on the look you prefer. We can add steps, balustrades for safety, and built-in seating to maximise space. We’ll recommend layouts, edging and staining colours that suit Kennington’s period gardens and modern courtyards.
