Decking & timber in Dulwich
A village enclave within London — conservation areas, tree-lined streets, and an eye for architectural detail that extends firmly into the garden.
Decking & timber in Dulwich
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 Dulwich
Victorian and Edwardian semis with 15–20m gardens, many in conservation areas where external appearance matters. London clay throughout.
The furthest into London we regularly work — accessible via the South Circular.
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.
