From riverside terraces near Kingston Bridge to family gardens in Surbiton, a well-built deck creates a practical space for dining, entertaining and relaxing. We install softwood and hardwood decking, with grooved boards for confident footing in changeable weather. Finishes can be tailored to your garden layout, whether you want clean lines for a modern patio or a warmer, traditional look. We’re also happy to coordinate access and deliveries around busy spots near the Bentall Centre.
Homes across KT1 and KT2 range from Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to modern waterfront apartments, and each needs a slightly different approach. Period properties often benefit from sympathetic detailing, such as neat picture-framing, discreet steps and traditional balustrades. Newer homes tend to suit wider boards, crisp edges and integrated seating for a streamlined finish. Our team advises on timber choice, drainage and height build-up so the deck sits comfortably against thresholds and garden levels.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss how you’ll use the space, and check levels, drainage and existing surfaces. Your deck is then built on a robust subframe using quality fixings, treated timber where appropriate, and careful spacing for movement and water run-off. We keep the site tidy, protect surrounding planting, and finish with staining where requested for colour and added protection. Local homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Gardens in the timber decking Kingston upon Thames area often combine clay-heavy ground with pockets of made-up soil near older extensions, so we design subframes and footings for stability and drainage. Access can be tight on residential streets around New Malden and central Kingston, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where properties sit close to boundaries, we keep edges neat and consider privacy with balustrades or screening. We also factor in riverside exposure and shade, which can affect drying times and staining schedules.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
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. Extras such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating, lighting prep, or significant ground levelling will increase the budget. We’ll provide a detailed written quote after a site survey in KT1/KT2.
Most standard decks take 2–5 days from start to finish, depending on access, weather and the amount of groundwork required. Larger or multi-level builds with steps, balustrades and seating can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are also affected by drying conditions if staining is included, and by any remedial work needed to ensure solid footings and proper drainage.
Decking is often permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, proximity to boundaries, listed buildings, or if your home is in a conservation area. As a general guide, raised platforms and balustrades are more likely to need checks. We’ll review levels, proposed railings and any constraints, and we can advise what to confirm with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as subframe integrity, fixings and installation-related movement where maintained correctly. Timber is a natural material, so seasonal expansion, minor surface checking and colour change are normal; staining and maintenance help manage this. Manufacturer warranties on treated timber or specific boards vary, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen materials.
You can choose between treated softwood for value and hardwood for a premium, longer-wearing finish. Board styles include grooved boards for extra grip and smoother profiles for a cleaner look, plus options like picture-framed borders. We can add steps, balustrades, and built-in seating to suit entertaining or family use. We’ll help you select layouts, stain colours and edge details that complement your garden and property.
