A well-built deck makes outdoor space easier to use for dining, play and relaxing. We install timber decking that complements Nunhead’s calm, community feel and the mix of gardens around Nunhead Green and SE15. Whether you want a small platform outside the back doors or a larger entertaining area, we tailor the layout to your levels, drainage and access. Expect neat edges, solid fixings and a finish that looks right all year round.
Homes in Nunhead often include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages with long, narrow gardens and awkward level changes. We’re used to working around mature planting, boundary walls and shared access routes common near Peckham and East Dulwich. Our team helps you choose the right board profile and colour so the decking sits naturally with brickwork, paving and garden structures. If you want a safer family space, we can incorporate balustrades, handrails and non-slip details.
We start with a site visit to measure, check ground conditions and discuss how you’ll use the space. You’ll receive clear options for treated timber, grooved boards, steps and built-in seating, plus guidance on staining and future maintenance. We prepare stable foundations, install a robust subframe and finish with careful detailing to prevent movement and squeaks. Local homeowners trust us for punctual scheduling, tidy working practices and dependable aftercare.
Gardens across Nunhead can have uneven levels, clay-heavy ground and tight side access, so we design subframes and foundations to stay stable through wet winters. Parking and loading can be restricted on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider overlooking and boundary lines typical of SE15 terraces, keeping layouts practical and neighbour-friendly. If any council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and advise on next steps.

For timber decking in the Nunhead area, costs typically start from around £120–£180 per m² for treated softwood, depending on access and ground preparation. Hardwood decking is often £180–£280+ per m² due to material and fixing requirements. Extras such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating and staining can add £300–£2,000+ depending on complexity. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 2–5 days for a straightforward deck, while larger or multi-level designs can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, how much excavation is needed, and whether you’re adding steps, balustrades or built-in seating. Access through narrow side returns and arranging deliveries can also affect scheduling in SE15. We’ll confirm a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout the build.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, especially when it stays low and doesn’t significantly alter ground levels. However, rules can change if the deck is raised, affects drainage, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Southwark-specific guidance may also apply near certain streets and heritage settings. We’ll assess your site, advise on likely requirements, and can help you prepare information if permission is needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural fixing failures, subframe problems and installation-related movement. Timber is a natural material, so seasonal expansion, slight colour change and weathering are normal, especially without regular staining. Where applicable, you’ll also receive manufacturer warranties on boards and treatments. We’ll explain maintenance steps to help your deck stay safe, stable and attractive long term.
We offer treated softwood for excellent value and hardwood for a premium, long-wearing finish. Board choices include smooth or grooved boards, with hidden or face fixings depending on the look you prefer. Design options range from simple platforms to multi-level decks with steps, balustrades and built-in seating. We’ll help you choose orientation, edging and stain colour to suit your garden, sunlight and the style of your period home.
