Norbury's mix of period properties and modern developments presents unique opportunities for outdoor living. Those typical London clay soils and sloping gardens near Pollards Hill? Perfect candidates for raised timber decking. Whether you're working with a narrow terrace plot or blessed with one of those generous corner gardens off Norbury Avenue, timber brings warmth and character that concrete patios simply can't match.
Selecting the right timber involves more than aesthetics - it's about longevity in South London's unpredictable weather. European oak withstands our damp winters brilliantly, while thermowood offers exceptional stability for sun-trapped spots. Ground preparation matters enormously here; proper drainage prevents pooling water, especially crucial given how many Norbury gardens sit on that heavy clay. Integrated LED lighting transforms evening use, particularly effective in those shadowy areas between Victorian terraces.
Twenty years of building decks from Thornton Heath to Streatham means understanding exactly which solutions work for local gardens. Neighbours often stop by our projects, curious about transforming their own outdoor spaces - that's the best recommendation anyone could ask for.

Most Norbury homeowners invest between £4,500-£12,000 depending on size and timber choice. A standard 20m² deck using quality softwood runs approximately £5,500, while premium hardwood options start around £7,500. Complex designs with multiple levels or integrated seating naturally increase costs.
Absolutely - we work throughout SW16 and CR7 postcodes daily. From the conservation areas near Norbury Park to new builds around Pollards Hill, we're familiar with local planning requirements and typical garden layouts across both districts.
Standard installations take 4-6 days from groundwork to final boards. Larger projects or those requiring significant levelling might extend to 8-10 days. Weather permitting, we maintain steady progress - South London's climate keeps us adaptable!
Every deck carries our decade-long structural guarantee, covering framework integrity and installation quality. Premium hardwoods receive additional treatment warranties. Annual inspections help maintain your deck's condition - particularly important given Norbury's mature tree coverage and resulting debris.
Cedar and thermowood excel here - both resist moisture naturally without heavy chemical treatments. For shadier gardens common near the railway line, these timbers resist algae growth better than standard pine. Hardwoods like ipe work beautifully but require specific fixings to prevent movement during our variable seasons.
