Decking & timber in Caterham
A valley town on the dip slope of the North Downs. Steep gardens are common — and with them, the retaining and levelling work that makes them usable.
Decking & timber in Caterham
Decking extends the living space — a level platform off a kitchen door, a raised viewing point, a transition between house and garden. We build in hardwood and composite on galvanised steel or timber subframes, with fixings hidden and boards that stay level.
Our process
- 01
Site survey — check levels, access, ground conditions and proximity to the house DPC.
- 02
Specification — choose board material and profile, agree layout, balustrade and lighting.
- 03
Subframe — install posts, bearers and joists at correct centres, level and squared.
- 04
Boarding — fix boards with hidden clips, cut to line, finish edges cleanly.
- 05
Balustrades, lighting and handover — fit any railings, integrate lighting, hand over care notes.
Materials we use
- Hardwood (iroko, balau, oak)
- Composite boards (Millboard, Trex, similar)
- Galvanised steel subframes
- Treated softwood subframes
- Stainless steel and hidden clip fixings
Typical timeline
One to three weeks on site depending on size, access and complexity.
About Caterham
1930s and post-war houses on sloping plots. Many gardens need structural work before anything decorative goes in.
Close to our South London coverage — we reach Caterham easily.
Common questions
Hardwood weathers to silver and has a natural warmth; it needs periodic oiling if you want to keep the original colour. Composite requires no maintenance and stays consistent. Walk on both before deciding.
