Highly recommended! Alfie and his friend changed our fences and did a fantastic job. They were efficient, quick, hardworking and the price was very reasonable. Really pleased with the result. Thank you again.

Decking in New Malden
All ranges of decking from wood to composite, built on a proper frame so it stays level for years.
Decking in New Malden is a job that depends a lot on the garden's existing levels. Inter-war semis with rear gardens often 15 to 20 metres deep and 10 metres wide. Most have side access, which simplifies bulk material handling. Most of our work in New Malden is around new malden high street and the streets either side of it. A deck on a sloping garden takes more frame work than a flat one, but done properly it gives you a usable level surface where you didn't have one before. We always check ground conditions on the first visit.
New Malden is solidly suburban, with broad streets, inter-war semis, and a strong family feel. Many gardens here are larger than the average for SW London and lend themselves to bigger lawns and proper entertaining patios. Decks we build in New Malden are mostly on a concrete-pad-and-timber-post foundation. Joist spacing is 400mm for softwood and 350mm for hardwood. We leave a ventilation gap behind the deck if it sits next to the house, and we always run skirting around the frame so the underside is hidden.
What we do for every decking job in New Malden

What clients say
Alfie and his team did a great job replacing our back fence. It was mess due to neighbours trees and rubbish pushing up against the wood panels. They cleared everything up and ensured nothing putting pressure against the new fence. They worked fast, removed all rubbish, and well priced. The fence looks fantastic. We will be using his services again, highly recommend.
Alfie and his team were great, we used them to install a new fence, gate, and also box in our hot tub, he was flexible, communicative, and professional, everything that was promised was delivered to an excellent standard.
I had 15 fence panels, 11 concrete posts and 15 concrete bases fitted by Alfie and his team, very lovely men the quality of work was amazing all waste taken away after they had finished. Very professional I am very happy with the work.

Decking in New Malden FAQs
Composite or timber for a deck in New Malden?
Composite if you want zero maintenance for fifteen plus years. Hardwood if you like the way real wood weathers and you don't mind oiling it. Most New Malden gardens get enough rain that we usually steer people towards composite for a deck under a tree, where leaf litter and dampness will affect timber faster.
How quickly can you start a decking job in New Malden?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs we usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller decking jobs in New Malden can sometimes fit in within a couple of weeks. The best step is a quick call to check current availability.
Do you cover all of New Malden?
Yes. New Malden (KT3) and the surrounding streets are all within our regular working area. If you're on the edge of New Malden or in a neighbouring area like surbiton, that's still fine.
