Sidcup's mix of 1930s semis and newer developments creates unique outdoor challenges. That awkward slope behind your Edwardian property? Timber decking transforms it into usable space. Many DA15 homeowners discover decking solves the eternal problem of clay soil and waterlogged lawns. Plus, with timber sourced from sustainable forests, you're making an environmentally conscious choice.
Installation begins with proper foundation work - crucial given Sidcup's London clay. Frame construction uses pressure-treated timber joists, secured with galvanised fixings that won't corrode. Board selection matters: hardwoods like Ipe resist weathering beautifully, while treated softwoods offer excellent value. Hidden fastening systems eliminate unsightly screw heads, creating seamless surfaces perfect for barefoot summers.
Local knowledge counts when dealing with Sidcup's planning considerations and garden layouts. Years spent working between Longlands Recreation Ground and Sidcup Place mean understanding exactly which timber performs best in our specific microclimate.
