Outdoor space around SE11 often needs to work harder, especially near The Oval cricket ground and Kennington Park where gardens can be compact and overlooked. Our decking creates a clean, level platform for dining, lounging, and entertaining. We build with treated timber and precise subframes to keep boards stable and comfortable underfoot. Expect neat edges, safe transitions, and a finish that suits your home’s character.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats frequently come with raised patios, basement-level gardens, or awkward thresholds that benefit from a stepped deck. We design solutions that respect period details while adding practical features such as balustrades and integrated seating. For homeowners across Kennington and Vauxhall, we also plan layouts to improve flow from kitchen doors to the garden. Every build is tailored to how you actually use the space.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then provide a clear specification for boards, fixings and finishes. Our team uses quality treated timbers, corrosion-resistant fixings and careful spacing to reduce cupping and movement. You’ll get tidy working practices, clear timelines and a workmanship-backed 10-year warranty. Many clients choose us for timber decking in the Oval area because we deliver crisp detailing without disruption.
Access in Oval can be tight, with side returns and shared passages common in terraces near Oval tube station. We plan material deliveries and waste removal to suit restricted parking and local rules in the London Borough of Lambeth. London clay and shaded courtyards can hold moisture, so we raise frames correctly and allow airflow beneath boards. The result is a deck that stays firmer, dries faster and looks smarter for longer.

Costs vary by size, access and specification, but most homeowners in SE11 can expect roughly £140–£220 per m² for quality softwood decking installed, and £220–£350+ per m² for hardwood options. Extras such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating, or complex levels will increase the total. We’ll survey your garden and provide a detailed, itemised quote based on your layout and finish.
A straightforward deck for a typical Oval terrace garden often takes 2–4 days from start to finish. Larger builds, multiple levels, or added features like balustrades, steps and built-in seating can take 5–10 working days. Timescales also depend on access (narrow passages), ground preparation, and drying time if staining is included. We confirm a schedule after the site survey and keep you updated throughout.
Most garden decking is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, provided it meets height and location rules. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where the deck is significantly raised and impacts privacy. In the London Borough of Lambeth we’ll check the relevant guidance and flag any concerns before work begins. If approvals are needed, we can help you prepare the information to submit.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity of the frame, fixing methods, and installation-related movement or failure. Timber is a natural material, so weathering and colour change are expected, but we minimise problems through correct ventilation, spacing and quality fixings. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to certain treated timbers or stains. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing with your quote.
We offer softwood and hardwood decking, including treated timber for improved durability, with either grooved boards or smooth boards depending on the look and feel you want. Popular design additions include steps to handle level changes, balustrades for safety, and built-in seating for compact gardens. We can also stain your deck for a richer colour and extra protection. We’ll guide you through samples and recommend options based on shade, drainage and usage.
