How long does decking installation take?

The time needed depends on the size and complexity of the project, as well as the materials used. A small or standard garden deck can usually be installed in two to four days, while larger or custom designs may take a week or more. Ask your decking installer to give an estimate of the time it will take to complete the job.

What materials can I choose for my decking?

Decking can be made from a variety of materials, including timber, composite, and PVC. Timber offers a natural look, while composite and PVC options provide increased durability and low maintenance.

Do I need planning permission for decking?

In most cases, decking projects do not require planning permission. However, permission may be needed if your deck is raised over 30 cm, covers more than half your garden, or is part of a listed property. Always check local planning guidelines before starting work.

How should I maintain my decking?

To keep your decking in top condition, clean it regularly to remove dirt and debris, and check for signs of rot or loose boards. Timber decking may need staining or treatment once a year, while composite and PVC decks require only occasional washing.

Can decking installers near me remove old decking or patios?

Yes, most decking installers can remove existing decking or patio structures before fitting a new one. This is typically included in the quote, but it’s best to confirm during your initial discussion.

What factors influence the cost of decking installation?

Costs depend on the type of materials, size of the deck, access to your outdoor space, and any custom features such as railings, steps, or seating areas. Providing detailed project information will help installers give accurate quotes.

Do decking installers handle lighting or electrical work?

Some decking professionals can install basic outdoor lighting as part of the build, but for complex electrical work, they may partner with a certified electrician near you to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

Kitchen Fitting- 16 Sep 2021
Joshua is an excellent contractor and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Firstly, he listened carefully to the job list and specifics, and then his workmanship has been very very good. He worked carefully, and steadily and didn't rush; which meant the job was completed with ease. Joshua installed some cabinets in the kitchen, but also completed some tiling work as a splashback which included some tricky cuts and elements. I found him to be excellent at communication; which is of paramount importance to me when project managing jobs. He always responded to whatsapp messages and my calls.

Landscaping- 19 Aug 2019
I hired Jamie and the team for a landscaping job in my garden and some fencing; everything was needed: cut trees, remove the roots, flatten the ground, build a path, put all the fences, build a base for the future shed. We had surprises with my garden but they did the job as planned, it's clean and tidy and looks really good. I am super pleased, they were easy to communicate with and they made my work life a lot easier. Would use again in a really near future actually and I recommend them!

Tiling- 16 Feb 2021
Chris Johnson did the tiling work. He removed the old tiles, which proved very difficult, and laid about 20m2 new tiles. He was very thorough and did a great job. He turned up when he said he would and left the kitchen tidy at the end of each day. Can't ask for much more.
