Those long Sutton gardens deserve more than just lawn and patio. Timber decking creates that perfect transition space, whether you're working with the narrow plots near the station or the generous gardens towards Cheam.

Sutton's mix of housing presents unique opportunities for outdoor living. From compact courtyards behind period properties to sprawling lawns in the leafier parts of SM2, timber decking adapts brilliantly. The slight slopes common around Carshalton actually work in your favour, creating natural levels that make gardens feel larger and more interesting.
Material selection matters more than most realise. European oak withstands our variable climate beautifully, while pressure-treated softwood offers excellent value for sheltered spots. Anti-slip grooved boards prove essential given how much rain we see, and proper ventilation underneath prevents the moisture issues that plague poorly installed decks. Correct joist spacing and galvanised fixings ensure decades of enjoyment.
Twenty years installing decking across South London means knowing which suppliers deliver quality timber consistently. Local knowledge counts when navigating planning considerations for raised structures, especially near conservation areas around Cheam Village.

Most SM1-SM3 properties see costs between £2,800-£5,500 for standard garden decking. Smaller courtyard projects start around £1,800, while multi-level designs for larger plots can reach £8,000 depending on timber choice and site preparation needs.
Absolutely - regular projects throughout SM1's town centre properties, SM2's residential streets, and SM3's family homes. Also frequently working in neighbouring Wallington, Carshalton and Cheam.
Standard single-level decking takes 3-5 days from breaking ground to final treatment. Complex designs with steps or integrated seating might need 7-10 days, weather permitting.
Every deck installation includes decade-long structural coverage, protecting against construction defects and premature wear. Timber warranties vary by species - hardwoods often carry longer manufacturer guarantees than treated softwood options.
Shaded areas need timber that resists moisture naturally. Western red cedar performs exceptionally well under trees, developing an attractive silver patina. For budget-conscious projects, properly treated pine with annual preservation works perfectly in less sunny spots.
