AliDeck’s Fire-Safe Aluminium Decking Transforms Walthamstow Stadium into Modern Homes

The redevelopment of Walthamstow Stadium has transformed this historic greyhound racing venue into a vibrant residential community. Led by housing association L&Q, the project has delivered nearly 300 new homes while carefully preserving elements of the site’s heritage, including the original racing board and kennels.

Fire safety and durability were key considerations, particularly for external decking areas. To meet stringent UK building regulations, AliDeck supplied Lite Board and Junior Flat Board aluminium decking in Sepia Brown. These non-combustible, fire-rated solutions ensured compliance while enhancing the development aesthetics and long-term resilience.

In partnership with Alloy Fabweld, a specialist in steel fabrication, the decking was seamlessly integrated into the project. This collaboration helped deliver a safe, durable, and visually appealing outdoor solution that aligns with modern construction standards.

In multi-storey developments, material selection is critical to ensuring both fire safety and long-term performance. AliDeck’s Lite Board and Junior Flat Board were chosen for their A2-s1, d0 fire rating, offering complete compliance with UK building regulations. Unlike timber or composite alternatives, aluminium decking is entirely non-combustible, giving residents peace of mind.

Beyond fire safety, aluminium decking is weather-resistant, corrosion-proof, and low maintenance. The QualiCoat Class 2 powder-coated finish in Sepia Brown complements the development’s design while providing a durable, cost-effective solution for outdoor spaces.

A strong partnership between AliDeck and Alloy Fabweld was instrumental in delivering this project on time and to the highest quality standards. By working together from the early planning stages, the teams ensured that the decking integrated effortlessly into the development’s architectural design.

This close collaboration streamlined installation, minimised delays, and resulted in a high-performance, compliant decking solution that enhances both safety and functionality for residents.

While Walthamstow Stadium has been transformed into modern housing, its history remains central to the redevelopment. The original racing board and kennels have been preserved as a tribute to the site’s legacy, blending old and new in a thoughtful, respectful way.

AliDeck’s contemporary aluminium decking reflects this balance, combining innovative fire safety features with an elegant, timeless finish. By using cutting-edge materials that align with the latest regulations, L&Q has successfully created a community that respects the past while embracing the future.
