Decking in Wallington
Composite and hardwood decking with solid sub-frames, balustrades, steps and integrated lighting. We work throughout Wallington and the surrounding South London villages and suburbs.
Hardwood decking
Warm, natural timber decks in durable hardwoods with hidden fixings.
Solid sub-frames
Concrete-set posts and correctly spaced joists so nothing bounces or sags.
Steps & balustrades
Timber, glass or slatted balustrades and steps built into the structure.
Deck lighting
Low-voltage riser and post lighting wired in while the frame is open.
Raised decks
Elevated decks for sloping gardens, with proper support and ventilation.
Decking designed for Wallington homes
Wallington is more suburban, with terraced and semi-detached homes, compact gardens and neighbours close by. Making a smaller space feel bigger and work harder is usually the brief.
Decking works particularly well on Wallington plots that fall away from the house, giving you a level outdoor room without the cost of importing tonnes of soil. We design the sub-frame around the slope, keep ventilation clear underneath and set the finished level so it steps neatly out from the back door.
How we work in Wallington
Access in Wallington is often through the house or a side alley, so we protect floors and pathways, keep the site clean and finish each day tidy.
Most Wallington decks take three to six working days. We set posts into concrete, build the sub-frame at the right height and spacing, then fix the boards with hidden clips or countersunk screws for a clean surface. Fascias, steps and balustrades are built to match, and we can run low-voltage lighting into risers and posts while the frame is open. Where the deck sits over soil we lay membrane and ventilate underneath so the structure stays dry.
Every Wallington project starts with a free, no-obligation site visit. We measure up, talk through materials and options, then send a written, itemised quote so you can see exactly what is included. We are insured, hold a waste carrier licence and every employee on site is enhanced DBS checked. Most of our work comes from word of mouth in and around Wallington, which is why we care as much about how we leave your home each evening as about the finished result.
Decking FAQs for Wallington
Composite or timber decking?
Composite costs more up front but needs almost no maintenance. Hardwood looks warmer and can be sanded and oiled. We show samples of both at your Wallington visit.
How long does decking last?
A well-built composite deck on a treated sub-frame should last twenty years or more. Hardwood decks last well with occasional oiling.
Do I need permission for a raised deck?
Decking under 30cm high is usually permitted development. Higher decks may need permission, and we advise on this before quoting in Wallington.
Is decking slippery?
Modern grooved composite boards grip well. We also space boards for drainage so water does not sit on the surface.
