Paddington’s mix of canal-side apartments and classic terraces often calls for clever, space-efficient outdoor design. From W2 courtyards near Paddington Basin to roof terraces a short walk from Paddington station, timber decking creates a clean, level surface for dining and relaxing. We design decks that feel calm and refined, while standing up to London weather. Expect tidy edges, accurate levels and a finish that complements your property.
We regularly work across Bayswater, Marylebone and Maida Vale, where stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments each present different constraints. Many gardens are narrow, shaded or overlooked, so board direction, lighting-ready detailing and privacy screens can make a big difference. For period properties we match proportions and add subtle balustrades where needed. For newer builds we keep lines crisp and integrate built-in seating for maximum use of space.
Our process starts with a site visit and measured survey, then a clear design and specification for boards, subframe and drainage. We use treated timber where appropriate, correct fixings, and proven construction methods to reduce movement and squeaks. Every installation is finished with careful sanding, staining options and neat junctions to walls and thresholds. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean working practices and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the timber decking Paddington area, access can be tight with shared entrances, basement steps and restricted parking. We plan deliveries, cutting and waste removal to minimise disruption, and we’re used to working around permit bays and timed access. Ground conditions vary from paved courtyards to older soil beds, so we design subframes and drainage to prevent pooling and rot. If your home sits within City of Westminster constraints, we’ll advise on compliant heights, boundaries and balustrade safety.

Costs vary with size, access and timber choice. 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, complex shapes, or replacing a failing subframe can increase the total. We’ll survey your W2 space and provide a detailed, itemised quotation.
Most small to medium decks in Paddington take around 2–5 working days from preparation to final finish. Larger terraces, multi-level designs, or projects with steps, balustrades and built-in seating may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common in mansion flats), the condition of the ground or existing patio, and whether staining is applied with drying time allowed between coats.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development, particularly when it’s low-level and doesn’t significantly raise the ground level. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, and properties with specific lease or freeholder conditions—common around Paddington and Little Venice. We’ll check likely constraints, advise on safe heights and boundary treatments, and recommend when you should confirm details with City of Westminster or your managing agent.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our timber decking installations, covering issues such as subframe integrity, fixings and construction-related defects. Material warranties vary by supplier and timber type, and we’ll confirm these in your specification. To keep your deck performing well, we also advise on maintenance, including cleaning and re-staining schedules, and we can return for periodic inspections if requested.
We offer softwood and hardwood decking, including treated timber options for durability. You can choose smooth or grooved boards, picture-frame borders, concealed or face fixings, and matching steps and balustrades for safer level changes. Built-in seating works well for compact W2 terraces, and staining can add warmth or modern tones. We’ll help you select a finish that suits light levels, privacy needs and the style of your property.
