Decking in Fulham

Fulham's mix of Victorian terraces and riverside apartments means gardens here are often compact but high-value spaces, from courtyard patios near Parsons Green to family gardens backing onto the Thames towpath. We work across SW6, including the streets around Bishops Park and Craven Cottage. When it comes to decking in Fulham, that local knowledge matters: Being so close to the Thames, low-lying plots near the river can hold moisture longer than those further inland toward Fulham Broadway, so we plan drainage and planting street by street rather than treating the whole postcode the same.

Decking — Timber & Composite

Why local matters for decking in Fulham

Choosing a team that already works across Fulham and SW6 means we understand the gardens here, the London clay with riverside alluvial pockets ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes decking last in this part of London. We're regularly in Fulham and neighbouring Chelsea and Hammersmith, 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.
