Our Services in West Norwood

Paving in West Norwood often means dealing with a change in level between the back door and the garden. That is handled with steps and a patio set at the right height, kept well below the damp proof course, with the fall running away from the house so water never sits against the wall.

Decking is a regular answer in West Norwood where a patio would mean heavy digging or a tall retaining wall. A treated timber frame spans the drop and gives a level seating area, with clear airflow underneath so the joists stay dry and last. Turf and walls as well.

Fencing in West Norwood includes stepped and raked runs on sloping boundaries, panel and post replacement and gates. Gate posts take far more force than fence posts, so they go deeper and are set in more concrete to stop the gate dropping and catching. Panels go back on once the new post has been set and levelled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build decking in West Norwood?

Yes, and it suits a lot of gardens there. Where the lawn sits well below the back door, a timber frame bridges the drop without the digging out and retaining walls a patio would need. We build on treated timber with posts bedded in concrete or on solid pads.

Is decking or a patio better for a sloping garden?

Decking usually wins on a slope, because a frame handles the height difference without heavy groundwork. A patio needs the ground cut into or built up with a retaining wall, which costs more. On flat ground a patio needs less upkeep over the years.

How much maintenance does decking need?

A yearly clean to take off algae, and oil or stain every couple of years on softwood to keep water out of the grain. Clearing leaves from the gaps stops damp sitting on the boards. Composite boards skip the oiling but still need cleaning.
