Pimlico’s garden squares and riverside terraces deserve outdoor joinery that feels considered, not off-the-shelf. We design and install timber decking that complements patios, balconies and courtyard gardens near Tate Britain and St George's Square. Expect clean lines, safe detailing and a finish that suits your planting scheme. Whether you want a small seating platform or a multi-level layout, we tailor every board to your space.
Homes across Pimlico include Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, often with compact gardens and tricky access. Our team plans decking that works with existing steps, lightwells and boundary walls, keeping proportions right for period architecture. For clients in Westminster and Victoria, we regularly create discreet solutions such as built-in seating and slim balustrades. The result is a deck that feels like it has always belonged to the property.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, drainage and sun exposure, then provide a clear specification for materials and finishes. Subframes are built for strength and airflow, with fixings selected to reduce movement and squeaks over time. We keep the site tidy, protect neighbouring surfaces, and schedule deliveries to minimise disruption. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, consistent workmanship and a finish that stands up to London weather.
In the timber decking Pimlico area, gardens can be narrow, shaded and bordered by listed-style façades and shared walls. We plan for restricted access, timed deliveries and considerate working hours, and we factor in parking constraints around SW1. Ground levels and drainage vary between mansion blocks and townhouse gardens, so we set subframes to promote airflow and run-off. Where required, we can supply details to support City of Westminster expectations for external alterations.

Costs vary with size, access and timber choice. As a guide in SW1, treated softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, while hardwood commonly falls between £180–£280+ per m². 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 survey.
Most projects in Pimlico take 2–5 days for a small to medium deck, including subframe and board installation. Larger or multi-level decks with steps, balustrades and seating can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common with mansion blocks), ground preparation, drying time for stains, and whether we’re integrating lighting or drainage improvements. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, especially where the deck is low and doesn’t materially change the property’s appearance. However, rules can be tighter in the City of Westminster, and constraints may apply to flats, conservation areas, or where the deck affects privacy and boundaries. We’ll discuss levels and overlooking, check what’s likely to apply, and can help you gather the right information before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our timber decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity of the subframe, fixings and installation-related movement beyond normal seasonal changes. Timber itself is a natural material, so ongoing care matters; we’ll advise on cleaning and re-staining intervals to keep it performing well. Manufacturer warranties on treated timber or hardwood products also apply where available.
We install treated softwood for value and versatility, and hardwood for a premium, long-lasting finish. Board choices include smooth or grooved boards, with hidden or face fixings depending on the look and maintenance preference. Design options range from simple platforms to split-level layouts with steps, balustrades and built-in seating. We’ll recommend the best combination based on sun, shade, foot traffic and the style of your home.
