Decking — Timber & Composite
Decking can turn an awkward slope or a tired lawn into the most-used part of a garden, but only if the frame underneath is built correctly. A deck is a structure, not a surface, and the joists, posts and ventilation matter far more than the boards everyone notices.
The frame does the work
We build decks on a treated, correctly spaced sub-frame fixed to solid posts on concrete footings, with airflow underneath so it never rots from below. Properly spaced joists are why a good deck feels rock-solid underfoot instead of bouncing.
Composite or timber
Composite boards cost more upfront but never need oiling, won't splinter and hold their colour, which suits busy families. Natural hardwood and softwood are warmer underfoot and cheaper to install but want annual care. We fit both and will give you the honest trade-off.
Designed around your garden
We set levels so the deck meets your doors cleanly, work in steps, balustrades and integrated lighting where they help, and detail the edges so the finish looks built-in rather than bolted-on.

Frequently asked questions
If you want to avoid annual sanding and oiling, yes. Composite costs more to buy but needs only an occasional wash, won't splinter or rot, and holds its colour, so over ten years it often works out cheaper than maintained timber.
