Those long Streatham gardens deserve better than patchy grass and muddy winters. Timber decking creates year-round outdoor living space, whether you're working with a Victorian terrace plot or the generous gardens near Streatham Common.
Response within 24 hours
South London weather tests any outdoor surface, but quality timber decking stands firm through it all. Streatham's mix of period properties and newer developments each bring unique challenges - narrow side returns, sloping gardens heading down towards Norbury, or those tricky L-shaped plots common in Furzedown. The right deck design turns awkward spaces into assets.
Pressure-treated softwood offers excellent value, while tropical hardwoods bring natural resistance to moisture. Board selection matters: wider planks suit larger gardens near Streatham Hill, whilst narrower profiles help smaller courtyards feel spacious. Proper subframe construction prevents the bounce and sag that plague rushed installations, ensuring decades of reliable performance.
Local knowledge counts when water runs downhill from Crystal Palace. Years spent working SW16 and SW2 gardens means understanding drainage patterns and frost pockets that catch out newcomers.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most terraced gardens in SW16 run £3,500-£6,000 for quality softwood decking. Larger properties near Streatham Common often fall between £7,000-£12,000, depending on hardwood choices and design complexity.
Absolutely - from the bustling high street down through Streatham Vale, across to Streatham Hill station and throughout SW2's residential streets. Regular projects in Furzedown and around Streatham Common too.
Typical Streatham gardens take 3-5 days from breaking ground to final treatment. Larger or split-level designs might need a full week, especially with complex groundwork.
Every deck carries decade-long structural coverage - that's frames, fixings and foundations guaranteed for 10 years. Timber boards themselves depend on species chosen, with maintenance guidance provided to maximise lifespan.
Cedar and European larch handle our wet winters brilliantly without heavy chemical treatment. For tighter budgets, quality pressure-treated pine gives excellent results when properly maintained. Tropical hardwoods like ekki excel but require responsible sourcing verification.
