Pollards Hill homeowners often want a clean, level outdoor space that works in all seasons. We design and install timber decking that suits gardens near Pollards Hill Recreation Ground and along South Lodge Avenue. Whether you need a simple platform for dining or a multi-level layout with steps, we tailor the build to your plot. Expect neat edges, solid framing and a finish that complements your home.
The Pollards Hill area includes 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, each with different garden proportions and access. We regularly work across SW16 as well as nearby Norbury and Mitcham, so we’re used to narrow side returns and shared boundaries. Our team recommends the right timber choice for your lifestyle, from treated softwood for value to hardwood for a premium look. We also factor in drainage and privacy when planning balustrades and seating.
Every deck starts with a measured site visit, clear design options and a written specification. We prepare a stable sub-frame, set correct falls, and use quality fixings to reduce movement and squeaks. You’ll get straightforward guidance on staining and aftercare, plus tidy working practices from start to finish. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, crisp workmanship and a finish that stays smart.
Gardens in the London Borough of Merton can have variable ground levels and clay-heavy soil, so we prioritise a well-supported sub-frame and proper ventilation. Access around maisonettes and 1930s semis can be tight, and we plan deliveries and waste removal accordingly. We also consider neighbour sightlines and boundary lines, especially on shared rear gardens. If any council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the project compliant.

Costs vary with size, height, timber type and features. As a guide, treated softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, while hardwood can be £180–£280+ per m². Steps, balustrades, built-in seating and staining add to the total, as does working around awkward access typical in SW16 gardens. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most standard decks take 2–5 days from ground preparation to final fixings, depending on size and complexity. Multi-level designs, extensive steps, balustrades or built-in seating can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Timescales are also affected by access, ground conditions, and whether we’re removing an old patio or deck first. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work begins.
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 if the deck is high, affects privacy, sits near a boundary, or if the property has restrictions (such as certain flats or maisonettes). We’ll discuss your layout, check any relevant guidance for the London Borough of Merton, and advise if permission is likely needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our timber decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity, fixings and installation-related defects. Timber is a natural material, so seasonal movement and weathering are normal, but we build to minimise warping and water traps. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to treated timber and fixings. We’ll explain what’s covered and provide aftercare advice to keep your deck performing well.
We install treated softwood and premium hardwood decking, with options including grooved boards, smooth finishes, and colour staining to suit your garden style. Popular upgrades include integrated steps, balustrades for safety, and built-in seating for compact layouts. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging details and height to improve drainage and usability. If you want a low-maintenance look, we can recommend stain colours and maintenance schedules.
