Victorian terraces dominate much of SW19, often blessed with surprisingly generous rear gardens that slope away from the house. Timber decking bridges that awkward level change beautifully, creating usable space where once there was just a muddy incline. Local homeowners increasingly recognise decking as the smart solution to Wimbledon's characteristic clay soil challenges.
Hardwood or softwood? Grooved or smooth? Your deck's timber choice impacts everything from slip resistance to longevity. Properties near Wimbledon Park face different weather patterns than those tucked behind Raynes Park station. Material selection considers your garden's microclimate, expected footfall, and whether those towering London planes will drop their leaves come autumn.
Twenty years installing decks across postcode boundaries has taught us which timber thrives where. SW20's leafier streets demand different maintenance approaches than the busier thoroughfares around South Wimbledon tube.

Most SW19 Victorian gardens (roughly 30-40m²) see timber deck installations ranging £4,500-£8,000, though compact courtyard designs start around £2,800. Premium hardwoods or complex multi-level structures for larger plots push budgets toward £12,000.
Absolutely - from the Village's grand properties down to the converted flats near Haydons Road, we work across both SW19 and SW20. Recent projects include gardens backing onto Wimbledon Chase and terraced homes throughout Raynes Park.
Standard installations complete within 3-5 days, weather permitting. Straightforward designs on level ground often finish sooner, while those requiring extensive groundwork or bespoke features might stretch to 7-10 days.
Each deck installation carries comprehensive 10-year coverage against structural issues, with timber warranties varying by species - typically 15-25 years for quality hardwoods. Annual maintenance checks help preserve your investment through Wimbledon's variable weather.
North-facing plots and tree-heavy gardens benefit from naturally rot-resistant timbers like Western Red Cedar or thermally modified pine. These cope brilliantly with limited sun exposure and the damp conditions common under mature trees, staying structurally sound without excessive chemical treatments.
