Garden Decking Specialists Across Camden & islington
If you've been quoted for decking in Camden, you already know the catch round here: listed-building and conservation constraints across most postcodes — timber and painted profiles only at the front. We build to that, not around it — every decking we install in NW1 is specced with that local reality first. Prince of Wales Road, Camden Road Kentish Town City Farm Chetwynd Road CA4 front picket. Painted softwood picket on oak posts, drawings submitted with the party-wall notice. Approved without amendment; matched the four-plot street line. Rear gardens back onto NW5 mews and canal-adjacent plots where the fall to the water sets the gravel-board line, not the customer.
