From compact courtyards near Stockwell tube station to larger family gardens by Stockwell Park, quality decking adds usable outdoor space without major upheaval. We design and build timber platforms that level awkward slopes, create dining zones, and connect patios to lawns. Expect clean lines, safe edges and a finish that suits your home’s style. All work is tailored to SW9 access and layout realities.
The Stockwell area includes Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates, each with different garden proportions and thresholds. For terraces, we often create raised decks with neat steps to improve flow from the rear doors. For estate gardens, we can zone larger spaces with balustrades and built-in seating. If you’re comparing options for timber decking in London Borough of Lambeth, we’ll guide you on durability, maintenance and the best board profile for your use.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear plan covering levels, drainage and subframe structure. You’ll receive straightforward options for treated timber, fixings, and staining so you can balance appearance with longevity. Our team protects borders, keeps the site tidy, and communicates throughout the build. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Stockwell gardens often have tight side access and shared boundaries, so we plan deliveries, cutting and waste removal carefully. In SW9, clay-heavy ground and shaded plots can affect drainage and drying times, so we design subframes with proper ventilation and falls. We’re used to working around mature planting and existing patios, and we’ll advise on tidy edge details where gardens meet brick walls or fencing. If Lambeth requirements apply, we’ll help you stay compliant.

For Timber Decking in Stockwell, costs typically range from around £120–£220 per m² for treated softwood and £200–£350 per m² for hardwood, depending on board choice and subframe specification. Steps, balustrades, built-in seating and staining are usually priced as add-ons. Access, ground levelling and disposal can also affect the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most small to medium decks take 2–5 days from ground prep to finishing, while larger or multi-level builds with steps, balustrades or seating can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common in Victorian terraces), ground conditions, and whether we’re correcting levels or improving drainage. Staining may add time for drying between coats. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
Decking is often permitted development, but there are important limits, especially if the platform is raised, affects privacy, or your home is listed or in a conservation area. Rules can also change for flats and maisonettes on post-war estates. We’ll assess heights, boundaries and sightlines during the survey and flag any Lambeth-specific considerations. If permission or landlord consent is needed, we’ll guide you through the next steps.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect fixing, subframe problems, and installation-related defects. Manufacturer warranties on boards and treatments vary by product, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen softwood, hardwood or treated timber. The warranty assumes normal use and routine maintenance, including periodic cleaning and re-staining where recommended.
We offer treated softwood for great value, hardwood for a premium look and durability, and a choice of grooved boards or smoother finishes depending on style and slip preference. Designs can include split-level platforms, wide steps, balustrades for safety, and built-in seating to maximise smaller gardens. Staining options range from natural tones to contemporary greys. We’ll recommend the best combination based on sunlight, drainage and how you use the space.
