Woolwich gardens come in all shapes, from compact courtyards near Woolwich Town Centre to larger plots towards Plumstead. We design and install timber decking that creates usable, level space for dining, relaxing and entertaining. Whether you’re close to the Royal Arsenal or further out towards Charlton, we tailor the layout to your light levels, privacy and access. Expect clean lines, solid subframes and a finish that looks right year-round.
Local homes range from Victorian terraces with narrow rear gardens to converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments with balconies and podium spaces. That mix calls for flexible detailing: slimline steps, discreet balustrades, and built-in seating that saves space. We’re used to working around existing paving, drains and awkward boundaries common in SE18. If you want timber decking Woolwich area homeowners choose for both style and practicality, we’ll guide the design from day one.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and the best board direction, then provide a clear specification for materials and finishes. Our builds use treated timber subframes, quality fixings and careful spacing to improve stability and airflow. We keep the site tidy, protect surrounding surfaces, and complete a final walk-through with care advice. Homeowners trust us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Access in Woolwich can be tight, especially around terraces and apartment blocks, so we plan deliveries, cutting and waste removal carefully. We build with drainage and airflow in mind to suit London clay and shaded gardens near boundary walls. If parking restrictions apply near the Royal Arsenal or Woolwich Ferry routes, we schedule work to reduce disruption. Our detailing also suits modern developments where clean edges and neat balustrades matter.

Costs vary by size, height, access and material. As a guide, softwood decking typically starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, while hardwood is often £200–£320 per m² due to higher material costs and finishing. Extras such as steps, balustrades, built-in seating and staining can add £300–£2,000+ depending on complexity. We’ll survey your SE18 garden and provide an itemised estimate.
Most decking projects take 2–5 working days from start to finish, depending on size and features. A small, straightforward platform can be completed in a couple of days, while raised decking with steps, balustrades and built-in seating may take a week or more. Ground preparation, levelling, drainage adjustments and restricted access in Woolwich can also affect timings. We confirm a schedule before work begins.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, particularly when the platform is low and doesn’t significantly alter levels. However, rules can change if the decking is raised, close to boundaries, affects privacy, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll discuss your design, check likely constraints in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and advise if you should confirm with the council before proceeding.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our decking installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by installation faults, fixings, and subframe integrity when used as intended. Timber is a natural material, so seasonal movement and weathering are normal, but we build to minimise these effects with correct spacing and ventilation. We also pass on applicable manufacturer warranties for treated timber and selected products.
You can choose from softwood, hardwood and treated timber options, with grooved or smooth boards depending on the look and maintenance preference. Popular upgrades include matching steps, balustrades for raised areas, and built-in seating to frame the space. We can also stain the deck for a richer colour and added protection. We’ll recommend the best combination based on your garden size, shade levels and how you use the space.
