Orpington's mix of Victorian villas and modern developments each bring unique garden challenges. Many properties around Petts Wood station feature steep slopes that cry out for split-level decking. Others in St Mary Cray have compact courtyards where every square metre counts. Timber decking transforms these awkward spaces into practical extensions of your home.
Quality timber selection makes all the difference in Kent's changeable climate. European oak withstands our wet winters brilliantly, whilst pressure-treated softwood offers excellent value for sheltered spots. Anti-slip grooves keep families safe during those sudden April showers. Proper subframe construction ensures decades of enjoyment, particularly important given Orpington's clay soil movement.
Local knowledge matters when dealing with BR postcode planning quirks and ground conditions. Years spent working from Chelsfield village to the Ramsden estate mean understanding exactly which timber treatments suit each microclimate.

Budget £120-180 per square metre for quality timber decking installation. A standard 25m² deck suits most BR5 gardens, totalling £3,000-4,500 including materials and groundwork.
Absolutely - regular projects span from the Knoll estate in BR6 through to properties backing onto Priory Gardens. Chelsfield Village and the Ramsden area see us monthly.
Most Orpington decking projects complete within 3-5 days. Larger split-level designs or those requiring significant groundwork might stretch to a week.
Every deck carries decade-long structural coverage. Timber treatments guarantee five years fade resistance, with annual maintenance checks included for BR5/BR6 customers.
North-facing plots stay damper longer, making hardwoods like oak ideal. Cedar offers natural rot resistance too. Both handle shade well whilst developing attractive silver patinas over time.
