How much does decking cost in Chelsea?

Decking is usually priced by area, with composite materials costing more than timber but saving on long-term upkeep. Raised decks need more framing and so cost more than ground-level ones. We quote frame and boards clearly. Every Chelsea garden is different, so we always quote after seeing your space rather than over the phone.

Chelsea is synonymous with garden excellence, home to the Chelsea Physic Garden and the world-famous Flower Show, so expectations here are high. We design and maintain everything from period townhouse courtyards off the King's Road to roof terraces and small walled gardens across SW3 and SW10. When it comes to decking in Chelsea, that local knowledge matters: Many Chelsea gardens are small, sheltered and shaded by tall Georgian and Victorian terraces, which calls for planting chosen for structure and year-round interest rather than sheer scale, and we design accordingly.

Why local matters for decking in Chelsea

Choosing a team that already works across Chelsea and SW3, SW10 means we understand the gardens here, the London clay with pockets of riverside alluvial ground near the Embankment ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes decking last in this part of London. We're regularly in Chelsea and neighbouring Fulham and Kensington, so a visit is easy to arrange.

The frame does the work

We build decks on a treated, correctly spaced sub-frame fixed to solid posts on concrete footings, with airflow underneath so it never rots from below. Properly spaced joists are why a good deck feels rock-solid underfoot instead of bouncing.

Composite or timber

Composite boards cost more upfront but never need oiling, won't splinter and hold their colour, which suits busy families. Natural hardwood and softwood are warmer underfoot and cheaper to install but want annual care. We fit both and will give you the honest trade-off.
