Those narrow side returns and compact courtyards typical of SW18 properties practically beg for clever deck solutions. Timber transforms awkward spaces where lawn struggles, particularly in shaded spots between Wandsworth's closely-packed houses. From split-level designs for sloping gardens near Wandsworth Common to floating platforms that preserve precious plant beds, the right deck reshapes how you use outdoor space.
Premium hardwoods like Ipe and Balau withstand decades of rain and frost, developing a silver patina that complements London brick beautifully. Anti-slip grooves keep surfaces safe when autumn leaves fall from plane trees. Hidden fastening systems eliminate unsightly screws, while proper sub-frame construction ensures no bounce or squeak underfoot. Precise levelling compensates for the uneven ground common in older Wandsworth properties.
Twenty years fitting decks between Earlsfield station and Southfields means knowing exactly which timber suits each microclimate. Local knowledge matters when drainage patterns vary street by street.

Basic softwood installations start around £120 per square metre, while premium hardwood with lighting runs £200-280. Most SW18 courtyard projects fall between £3,500-£8,000 depending on complexity and materials chosen.
Absolutely - from riverside properties near Wandsworth Bridge through to homes backing onto King George's Park. Regular projects span Garratt Lane to Trinity Road, including all those tucked-away mews properties.
Typical SW18 rear gardens take 3-5 days from first board to final oil treatment. Larger wraparound designs or multi-level installations might stretch to 7-10 days, weather permitting.
Every deck carries decade-long structural coverage, protecting against frame issues, board warping, or fixing failures. Annual maintenance checks ensure your investment stays pristine through Wandsworth's variable weather patterns.
Thermally modified ash resists moisture brilliantly in shade, staying stable where cheaper softwoods would warp. Cedar offers natural anti-fungal properties perfect for damp corners, while modified pine provides budget-friendly durability even under overhanging trees.
