INSTALLING A NEW DECK FROM START TO FINISH
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does the decking installation process take?
The duration of the process varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. On average, installations can take from a few days to a couple of weeks. We will provide you with a detailed timeline after assessing your specific requirements during the initial consultation.
How do I maintain my decking to ensure its longevity?
Timber decking needs regular sealing and staining, ideally every 6 to 12 months, and repairs are crucial for preserving its longevity and functionality. We provide detailed care instructions upon completion of your project to help you maintain your deck in top condition. We can also visit once or twice a year to clean and re-seal your deck.
Can you design decking to fit an irregularly shaped garden?
Absolutely. Our solutions are tailored to fit gardens of all shapes and sizes. We pride ourselves on our ability to design and install decking that maximises your available space, regardless of its layout, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing addition to your home.

Our team of skilled professionals is dedicated to providing the best solutions for all your needs. Our expert teams are renowned for their high-quality workmanship and attention to detail.
Quality materials:
To ensure that everything we build is of the highest quality and longevity, we only use the best wooden materials. We exclusively use pressure-treated timber and never skimp on the size of the wood. The wood we use is firm, strong, and long-lasting. For those seeking even greater durability, we offer hardwood options like mahogany and teak, which can last significantly longer than softwood decking when properly maintained. If you’ve received a cheaper quote elsewhere, they may be using less wood, a weaker frame, or lower quality/thinner wood that won’t last as long. Our commitment to quality materials guarantees a durable and sturdy deck for years to come.
Superior fixings:
For added peace of mind, we use extra fixings such as screws, bolts, nails, and hangers. This ensures that you get an extremely solid deck, and in the rare case that a fixing fails, there are plenty left over to carry the load. Our attention to detail with fixings means your deck will remain secure and safe, providing you with a robust outdoor space.
Easier upkeep:
We understand the importance of low-maintenance solutions for our clients. That’s why we lay plenty of weed matting and use salt to prevent weeds from coming up. This makes upkeep easier for you, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space without the hassle of constant maintenance.
Extra strong base:
The foundation is crucial to its overall durability. We build an extremely firm and strong base. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not built to perfection! Our commitment to a robust base means your deck will withstand the test of time.
Comprehensive waterproofing:
The most common reason decks fail is because the subframe has rotted against the ground. To combat this, we fully treat every bit of wood that goes into the subframe, ensuring that the frame itself is not touching the floor. We also use bitumen paint where any legs are touching the ground. This comprehensive waterproofing approach prevents rot and extends the life of your deck significantly.
Ideas.
Garden decking can be designed and built to suit your specific needs and preferences. Here are some garden decking ideas to consider:
Create a Raised Deck: Elevate your outdoor experience by building a raised deck that offers stunning views of your garden or the surrounding landscape. This design not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides a unique vantage point for relaxation and entertainment.
Deck Around a Tree or Water Feature: Incorporate natural elements into your decking design by building around a tree or a water feature. This creates a unique and peaceful outdoor space that blends seamlessly with the natural environment, offering a tranquil retreat right in your garden.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Transition: Use decking to create a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor living spaces. This design extends your living area, making it perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying family time in a cohesive and stylish environment.
Built-in Features: Enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your garden decking by incorporating built-in seating, planters, and lighting. These features not only add to the visual appeal but also provide practical solutions for seating and gardening, creating an inviting and functional outdoor space.
Low-Maintenance Options: Consider using composite decking to create a low-maintenance and eco-friendly outdoor space. With its resistance to rot and decay, composite decking ensures that your garden remains beautiful and hassle-free, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor area without the need for constant upkeep.
