New Cross gardens vary from compact courtyards to generous plots near Telegraph Hill, and the right deck can make them far more usable. We design and install timber decking that suits entertaining, quiet mornings, or student-house share gardens that need hard-wearing surfaces. Whether you’re close to New Cross station or walking distance to Deptford Park, we’ll create a layout that fits your levels, access and lifestyle. Expect crisp edges, safe steps and a finish that looks intentional, not improvised.
Homes across SE14 include Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with tricky boundaries and uneven ground. We’re used to working with side returns, narrow access routes and shared pathways, keeping disruption low and communication clear. If your garden sits behind a conversion, we can design a deck that improves privacy and flow without stealing space. Our timber decking New Cross area projects are planned to complement period brickwork, painted joinery and contemporary extensions alike.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you want to use the space. You’ll receive a clear specification covering subframe, fixings, board choice, and optional extras like balustrades, steps or built-in seating. We install with treated timber where required, use proper ventilation gaps, and finish with staining for colour and protection. Fine Landscaping is based just 25 minutes away, and local homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, dependable scheduling and a straightforward aftercare plan.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, gardens often have variable ground levels, older drainage runs and limited access through terraces and conversions. We plan deliveries, cutting and waste removal to suit tight streets around SE14, and we’ll advise on practical solutions where parking is restricted. Our builds account for ventilation and runoff so decking stays stable through wet winters. If neighbouring boundaries are close, we can incorporate screening balustrades and tidy edge detailing.

A small, straightforward deck can often be completed in 2–4 days, while medium projects with steps, balustrades or seating typically take 5–10 working days. Timescales depend on ground preparation, levelling, drainage adjustments, and access for materials (common with Victorian terraces). Hardwood and detailed staining systems can add time for finishing and drying. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Most garden decking is permitted development, but rules can apply if the deck is raised significantly above ground level, affects drainage, or sits in a conservation area. Converted flats may also need freeholder consent, and some properties have specific restrictions. We’ll discuss heights, boundaries and any nearby structures during the survey and can advise if you should check with Lewisham Council. If permissions are needed, we’ll help you prepare the details.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our timber decking installation workmanship, covering issues such as structural fixing failures or subframe defects caused by installation. Timber is a natural material, so seasonal movement and colour change are normal, especially without regular maintenance. Where manufacturer warranties apply to treated timber or specific products, we’ll pass those on in writing. We also explain aftercare, cleaning and re-staining intervals to protect your deck long-term.
You can choose softwood or hardwood decking, with treated timber subframes for durability.

We’ll help you select the right board profile, stain colour and layout based on sunlight, foot traffic and the style of your home.
