Those steep Warlingham gardens don't have to limit your outdoor living dreams. Creating beautiful timber decking that works with the natural contours of CR6's hillside properties requires both vision and expertise.
Response within 24 hours
Warlingham's chalky slopes and mature tree coverage present unique opportunities for timber decking projects. Many properties here struggle with unusable garden space due to dramatic level changes. A well-designed deck transforms these challenging gradients into elegant entertainment areas, perfectly positioned to capture views across the Surrey countryside. Local planning considerations around the Green Belt mean thoughtful design matters.
Selecting appropriate timber involves understanding how CR6's microclimate affects different wood species. Western red cedar naturally resists the moisture that rolls down from the North Downs, whilst pressure-treated pine offers durability against the area's occasional harsh winters. Foundation systems must account for the underlying chalk, often requiring deeper posts than standard builds. Proper drainage channels prevent water pooling, essential given Warlingham's position on the hillside.
Twenty years of decking projects across the chalky slopes of Chelsham and Whyteleafe means understanding exactly what works here. Every installation carries comprehensive insurance and proper structural calculations, particularly important given the area's varied terrain.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most CR6 properties see costs between £8,000-£18,000, largely determined by the slope severity and chosen timber grade. Hillside installations requiring extensive groundwork naturally sit at the higher end.
Absolutely - from the heights near Chelsham Common down to properties bordering Caterham, the entire CR6 area falls within our regular working zone.
Standard installations take 7-10 days, though Warlingham's sloping gardens sometimes add 2-3 days for additional foundation work.
Each deck installation includes decade-long structural coverage, protecting against settlement issues particularly relevant to hillside builds. Timber warranties vary by species selected.
Integrated features work brilliantly on CR6's sloping sites - built-in benches maximise usable space whilst planters help screen neighbouring properties common in Warlingham's denser areas.
