A well-built deck makes it easier to enjoy your garden from spring through autumn, whether it’s for dining, sun loungers or a safe play area. We design and install decking that suits the calm, residential feel of Norwood Grove and works with sloping plots near Beaulieu Heights. Many clients also want a clean transition from patio doors to garden, especially close to Norwood Grove Park. Our boards are fitted for drainage, grip and long-term stability.
Homes around Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace and South Norwood often have compact rear gardens and raised thresholds, which makes levels and access crucial. Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions benefit from decking that respects original proportions while adding modern usability. We regularly build decks with neat steps, discreet balustrades and integrated seating to maximise space. If you’re in SE19, we can match the look to brickwork, render and garden walls for a cohesive finish.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear options on layout, board choice and edging details. Subframes are constructed with treated timber, correct fixings and ventilation gaps to reduce movement and rot. Every job is finished with careful sanding where needed, plus staining or oiling to protect colour and grain. Homeowners choose us for tidy working practices, clear timelines and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon can vary from clay-heavy ground to made-up areas, so we assess drainage and set foundations accordingly. Access can be tight on residential streets around Upper Norwood, so we plan deliveries, cutting and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where gardens slope towards parkland, we use stepped frames and precise levels for a stable finish. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and sightlines when adding balustrades or raised platforms.

Costs depend on size, height off the ground and the timber you choose. As a guide, softwood decking typically 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 staining will increase the total. We’ll survey your garden in SE19 and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most straightforward decks take 2–4 days from preparation to final finish. Larger or raised builds with steps, balustrades and built-in seating usually take 5–10 working days. Timescales can change depending on ground conditions, waste removal access, and whether we’re staining on-site (which needs suitable dry weather). We’ll confirm a clear programme after the site visit 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 for raised platforms, properties in conservation areas, or where overlooking and boundary heights are a concern. We’ll advise on sensible design limits and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Croydon before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as subframe integrity, fixings, and fitting standards when the deck has been used and maintained normally. Timber is a natural material, so seasonal movement and colour change are expected, but we build to reduce warping and water trapping. We’ll also explain aftercare, including cleaning and re-staining schedules, to keep your deck performing well.
We install softwood, hardwood and treated timber decking, with a choice of smooth or grooved boards depending on the look and slip resistance you prefer. Popular upgrades include wide steps, smart balustrades, built-in seating and planters, plus staining in natural or darker tones. We’ll help you choose a layout that suits your garden’s levels and how you use the space, then finalise details with clear drawings and samples.
