Deck Replacement in London, UK

Professional Deck Renewal You Can Count On

Are you staring at a deck that’s warped, rotten, or simply past its best? You’re not alone. Lots of homeowners in London and nearby neighbourhoods like Westminster, Camden, Southwark, Islington, Hackney, Lambeth, Richmond upon Thames, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Kensington and Chelsea face the same thing: a once‑beautiful outdoor space that now feels worn, unsafe, or dated.

At MitchellGroup Home Remodeling, we fix that with real care, solid workmanship, and clear communication from start to finish. If your deck is failing, dangerous, or just not giving you the outdoor space you want, we’ll replace it with a deck that lasts and looks great.

Why Deck Replacement Matters (Really)

A deck isn’t just a flat surface in your garden. It’s a place to relax with friends, fire up the barbecue, play with the kids, or enjoy a quiet morning coffee. But when boards rot, railings wobble, or the structure creaks under foot, it stops being relaxing and starts being risky.

Here’s the thing: water, weather, sun, and foot traffic break decks down over time. And once rot or structural damage sets in, a quick repair won’t keep it safe for long. Sometimes replacement is the smarter, safer option. An old deck left too long can even become a safety hazard for family and guests.

What We Do: Deck Replacement Services in London

We focus on replacing old, damaged, or structurally unsafe decks with new ones built to last using quality materials and modern techniques.

Our Deck Replacement Process

1. Site assessment and inspection – We check structure, joists, drainage, and access so we know exactly what’s needed.
2. Safe deck demolition and removal – We take down the old decking and remove it cleanly (including disposal).
3. Structural reinforcement – Where needed, we solidify the base so your new deck stays strong for years.
4. Custom design and layout – We help you pick the layout and materials that fit your space and budget.
5. Installation of decking boards – Boards are fitted properly with the right spacing and ventilation to avoid rot later.
6. Sanding, staining, sealing (if timber) – Final treatment protects your deck from weather and wear.
7. Final clean‑up and inspection – We leave your garden tidy and your deck ready to enjoy.

Whether it’s a ground‑level garden deck or a raised structure off your back door, we build with care and experience.

Deck Materials You Can Choose

Choosing the right material can make a huge difference for durability, look, and maintenance.

Timber Decking

• Pressure‑treated wood: Traditional look, good value, long life with proper care
• Hardwoods: Strong, beautiful, but more maintenance

Timber gives a classic look, and with staining and sealing, it can last. But poorly maintained wood can rot or warp over time. Regular sealing or staining is worth planning into your long‑term budget.

Composite Decking

• Great weather resistance
• Low maintenance
• Very long lifespan

Composite boards combine wood fibres and plastic. They don’t need regular staining and are much less likely to rot or warp. Many London homeowners choose composite to cut down upkeep and enjoy peace of mind.

How Much Does Deck Replacement Cost in London?

Prices vary with size, material, design, and whether the deck is raised or easy to access. To give you a realistic sense:

• Softwood timber tends to sit at a lower cost. Typical supply + install might be around £80–£130 per m² in London.
• Hardwood timber or premium finishes cost more but offer great aesthetics and longer life.
• Composite decking often sits in the mid‑to‑upper range because of its durability and low maintenance.

A simple replacement for a medium sized deck often falls between £2,000–£4,000, depending on material, design, and labour. Complex features like integrated lighting, multi‑level decks, or custom railings will lean higher.

Pro tip: Costs typically include demolition of the old deck and disposal, but always confirm details with your contractor so there are no surprises on the final bill.

Common Signs You Need Deck Replacement

Wondering whether you need a simple repair or full replacement? These are reliable signs:

• Wood rot or soft spots when walked on
• Cracked, splintered, or warped boards
• Wobbly railings or unstable areas
• Rusty or weak fixings
• Visible sagging or uneven surfaces
• Deck older than 15–20 years and weathered badly

If you see several of these, replacement usually lasts longer and costs less over time than repeated repairs.
