Victorian terraces throughout SW17 often struggle with sloping gardens and limited outdoor space. Smart decking design changes everything – suddenly that awkward slope becomes a stunning split-level entertaining area. From the bustling streets near Tooting Broadway station to the quieter corners of Tooting Bec, homeowners are discovering how timber transforms even the trickiest plots.
Material selection makes all the difference in South London's variable climate. Pressure-treated softwood handles our damp winters brilliantly, whilst premium hardwoods like Iroko bring tropical warmth to urban gardens. Anti-slip grooved boards keep everyone safe during those inevitable April showers, and proper ventilation underneath prevents the moisture issues common in clay-heavy Tooting soil. Every deck gets built with expansion gaps calculated for our local temperature swings.
Twenty years of working across Tooting means knowing which suppliers deliver quality timber on time through narrow Victorian streets. Local knowledge matters – understanding how afternoon sun hits different parts of Furzedown, or which way prevailing winds blow across Tooting Common.

Most rear gardens in SW17's terraced houses (around 30-40 square metres) see decking projects ranging from £4,500 to £8,000. Premium hardwoods or complex split-level designs push towards £10,000, whilst basic softwood installations start around £3,500.
Absolutely – from Franciscan Road's period properties to the newer developments near Garratt Lane, every corner of SW17 falls within our regular working area. This includes all of Furzedown's leafy avenues too.
Straightforward installations typically wrap up within 5-7 working days. Complex designs featuring built-in seating or multiple levels might stretch to two weeks, especially if we're navigating restricted access through typical Victorian side returns.
Each deck carries decade-long structural coverage, protecting against construction defects or premature failure. This comprehensive protection includes all framework, fixings, and installation workmanship – proper peace of mind for your investment.
European oak and Western red cedar naturally resist our local weather patterns without chemical treatments. For budget-conscious projects, pressure-treated pine offers excellent durability when properly maintained. Composite alternatives blend recycled wood fibres with polymers, requiring minimal upkeep whilst mimicking natural timber aesthetics.
