Westminster gardens may be compact, but the right deck can make them feel expansive and usable. We design and build timber decking that complements the area’s historic streetscape, from Victoria to Whitehall. Whether you’re overlooking St James’s Park or a quiet mews, we create a clean, level platform for dining, planters and entertaining. Expect crisp detailing, safe edges and a finish that looks at home near Westminster Abbey and beyond.
Our team regularly works across the SW1 postcodes, where outdoor spaces range from Georgian townhouse terraces to mansion flat courtyards and luxury apartment balconies. These properties often need careful setting-out to align with existing stone thresholds, railings and lightwells. We can build over uneven ground, create discreet access steps, and integrate seating without crowding the space. The result is a deck that feels intentional, not added on.
Every project starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear recommendations on timber type, board profile and drainage. We prepare a stable subframe, use appropriate fixings, and finish with staining to protect colour and reduce weathering. You’ll receive a tidy installation, straightforward communication, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling and a premium finish, even with Westminster access constraints.
In the City of Westminster, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many gardens sit above basements or lightwells, requiring thoughtful load distribution and fixings. We also account for drainage so water doesn’t pool against walls or thresholds. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, we’ll advise on practical, sympathetic detailing before work begins.

Costs vary with size, access, timber choice and features. As a guide in Westminster, softwood decking typically starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, while hardwood is often £180–£280+ per m². Built-in seating, steps, balustrades, complex levels, and premium staining can increase the overall budget. We provide a detailed written quote after a site survey so you can compare like-for-like.
Most straightforward decks take 2–5 days from preparation to finishing, depending on size and access. Larger or multi-level builds with steps, balustrades and built-in seating can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground preparation, drying time for stains, and any structural considerations such as decking over lightwells. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep disruption controlled.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, especially when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly alter levels. However, rules can be stricter for listed buildings and conservation areas, which are common in the City of Westminster. If your deck needs substantial height, guardrails, or affects neighbouring privacy, permission may be required. We’ll check the key constraints and advise what’s sensible before you commit.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues such as subframe integrity, board fixing failures and installation-related movement, subject to normal use and maintenance. Timber is a natural material, so seasonal expansion, minor surface checking and colour change are expected, especially without regular staining. Where products carry manufacturer guarantees (e.g., treated timber), we’ll pass those details on and explain care requirements.
We offer softwood and hardwood decking, including treated timber for improved durability. Board choices include grooved boards for grip and smooth finishes for a cleaner look, plus matching fascia boards for neat edges. Design options range from simple platforms to multi-level decks with steps, balustrades and built-in seating. We’ll help you choose based on sunlight, foot traffic, maintenance preferences and how the deck sits with your property’s architecture.
