Decking in Warlingham by Hodges Building & Landscaping

Composite decking

Low-maintenance boards that will not rot, splinter or need annual staining.

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 Warlingham homes

Warlingham sits high on the Downs with open, exposed plots and long views. Wind and driving rain take their toll on anything that is not fixed properly, so specification matters more here than almost anywhere we work.

Decking works particularly well on Warlingham 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 Warlingham

We allow for exposed conditions in Warlingham, using heavier fixings, concrete-set posts and finishes that will not lift or weather badly in the first winter.

Most Warlingham 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 Warlingham 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 Warlingham, which is why we care as much about how we leave your home each evening as about the finished result.

Decking FAQs for Warlingham

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 Warlingham 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 Warlingham.

Is decking slippery?

Modern grooved composite boards grip well. We also space boards for drainage so water does not sit on the surface.
