Patios, Decking & Landscaping in Bankside
In Bankside and across Southwark we are most often asked for loft conversions on Victorian terraces and garden landscaping and patios. The riverside from Bankside to Rotherhithe is a mix of warehouse conversions, post-war estates and modern flats. South of that, Camberwell has Georgian terraces, Peckham, Nunhead and East Dulwich are mostly Victorian terraced houses, and Dulwich has larger detached houses along with mid-century estates.
Patios & Gardens in Bankside
A garden you will actually use.
London gardens are small, overlooked and often badly drained. Good hard landscaping fixes all three. We build patios, decks, walls and garden rooms that make a narrow plot feel like another room of the house.

Planning and the council

FAQ
Patios & Gardens in Bankside
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out patios, decking & landscaping in Bankside?
Yes. Bankside is in Southwark, where we work every week alongside Bermondsey, Rotherhithe, Peckham and Camberwell.
Porcelain or natural stone?
Porcelain is consistent, stain-resistant and very low maintenance. Natural stone has more character and weathers over time. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see both against your brickwork.
Will a new patio cause damp?
Not if it is built correctly. We keep the finished level at least 150mm below the damp-proof course, or add a drainage channel against the wall where that is not possible.
Does a garden room need planning permission?
Most garden rooms are permitted development if they are single-storey, under 2.5m high near a boundary, and not used as a separate dwelling. Flats and some conservation areas are exceptions. We check before you commit.
