Mitcham's mix of period properties and newer developments presents unique opportunities for timber decking projects. Whether you're working with the compact rear gardens typical of Figges Marsh or the more generous plots near Mitcham Common, the right deck design maximises every square metre. Local clay soil conditions and mature tree coverage influence how we approach foundations and drainage, ensuring your investment stands the test of time.
Selecting timber involves balancing aesthetics, durability and budget. European oak weathers beautifully to complement red-brick facades, while pressure-treated softwood offers affordability without sacrificing longevity. Ground preparation varies significantly between properties - those backing onto the Common often require root protection measures, whilst Colliers Wood's former industrial sites may need deeper excavation. Each deck incorporates subtle drainage gradients, preventing water pooling that plagues flat London gardens.
Twenty years of decking installations across South London means understanding which materials thrive in our climate. From hidden fixing systems that eliminate trip hazards to bespoke balustrades matching existing architectural details, attention to detail defines lasting results.

Cedar and treated pine handle our wet winters excellently, whilst tropical hardwoods like ipe offer unmatched durability. Consider maintenance preferences - softwoods need annual treatment, hardwoods can be left to silver naturally.
