A deck that makes the most of your garden

A deck turns an awkward corner, a sloping lawn or a tired patio into a space you will actually use. It is a dry, level surface for a table and chairs, a barbecue or a hot tub, and it looks good from the house all year round. We design and build timber and composite decking for homes across West London, fitted to your garden's levels and built on a structure that is made to last.

Because we are fencing contractors first, we pay the same attention to what is under the deck as to what you see on top of it.

Types of decking we build

Ground-level decks

A simple, low platform that sits just above the lawn or soil, ideal for a seating area at the end of the garden.

Raised decks

Built up to meet the house or to level a sloping garden, with steps and edging to suit.

Timber decking

Pressure-treated softwood, a classic and cost-effective choice that can be left natural or finished with a stain or oil.

Composite decking

Boards that look like timber but need far less upkeep, with no regular staining or oiling.

Built from the ground up

A deck is only as good as its frame. We set out the substructure on solid, level footings, use treated joists at the right spacing and leave a gap between boards so rain drains away and the timber can dry. Ground beneath the deck is covered to keep weeds down, and there is enough airflow to stop damp building up.

Steps, edges and finishing touches

Steps

Built to the right rise and run, so they are comfortable and safe to use.

Railings and balustrades

Fitted where a raised deck needs them, in timber or metal to match your fence.

Fascia and edging

Neat trims that hide the frame and give the deck a tidy, finished edge.

Matching fence and gate

Boundaries and gates built to go with the deck, so it all looks like one design.

Choosing timber or composite

Timber costs less to buy and looks natural, but it needs a fresh coat of stain or oil every so often to stay looking its best. Composite costs more upfront but is far lower maintenance. We will talk through both at survey and recommend the one that suits how you use the garden and how much upkeep you want to do.

    We go over the finished deck with you and explain how to look after it.

Looking after your deck

Sweep leaves and debris off regularly, clean the surface once a year and keep planters and furniture from sitting in standing water. A timber deck will also benefit from a fresh coat of stain or oil every few years, and our painting and staining team can help with that.

Planning and neighbours

Most decks are permitted development, but a deck that is raised more than 30cm above the ground usually needs planning permission, and homes in conservation areas or listed buildings have their own rules. A raised deck can also overlook a neighbour, so it is worth thinking about privacy. A tall slatted screen or trellis can help. We will flag anything that needs checking at survey.

Areas we cover

We build decking across West, North West and South West London, including Ealing, Hanwell, Acton, Chiswick, Brentford, Southall, Greenford and Wembley. Send us a few photos over WhatsApp or book a survey, and we will get back to you with a written quote.

Common questions

Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most, before and after the work is done.

Do I need planning permission for a deck?

Most decks are permitted development, but one raised more than 30cm above the ground usually needs permission, as do homes in conservation areas. We will flag anything that needs checking at survey.

Should I choose timber or composite?

Timber costs less and looks natural but needs staining or oiling every so often. Composite costs more upfront but needs far less upkeep. We will talk you through both.

Can you build a deck on a sloping garden?

Yes. A raised deck can level a slope and give you a flat usable space, with steps and edging to suit.

Can you match the deck to my fence?

Yes. We can build or finish the fence, gate and railings so they all go with the deck.
