Concrete-set posts and correctly spaced joists so nothing bounces or sags.

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 questions from Warlingham homeowners
Is decking slippery in winter?
Grooved boards and good airflow underneath help a lot. Composite boards with an anti-slip finish are the safest choice.
Do you remove the old deck?
Yes. We take it down and dispose of it properly as part of the quote.
Do I need planning permission for decking in Warlingham?
Not usually, unless the deck is more than 30cm off the ground. We check this for you before we start.

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.
