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- 15 Jun 2022
James came round quickly to quote my new kitchen fitting, and had a lot of helpful suggestions - one of which was to go for a Howden's kitchen as opposed to Ikea. This meant that the kitchen was considerably more expensive, but I definitely have a much higher standard of kitchen as a result, and there was no wait time at all compared to a considerable one at Ikea. Going with Howden's was made possible though James, and he arranged all of the planning and was on hand to contact throughout the process. The kitchen itself looks great. Super happy with how it turned out. Cheers mate!

In 2014 Gary removed an internal wall, created a wide opening in another wall and installed a complete kitchen. This involved plumbing and electrical work. In 2017 Gary removed my old bathroom suite and installed a new one for me. I have been highly satisfied with both jobs. The work did not exceed the amount quoted and Gary's finish and attention to detail is exceptional. Gary treated my home and my pets with care and respect and I did not feel at all uncomfortable knowing he was in my home on occasion that I was unable to be there. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Gary.

Carpentry- 4 Aug 2022
Steve came in with warmth and enthusiasm. He took what I was asking for and delivered exactly that, with capacity to do a little more. Meticulously working, he finished the job to a very high standard. Ensuring that at the end of everyday he tidied and kept the space clean for me to still enjoy my home. I strongly recommend him for anyone looking for carpentry work and would employ him for his services again above anyone else. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Handyman- 15 Mar 2017
Simon came out at vey short notice and on a Sunday afternoon to fit the lockbox that I had advertised. This was greatly appreciated as I was only in Camelford for a very short time and was leaving the next morning. He also helped out with another problem I had in my chalet . I was very pleased with Simon's work and helpful attitude and have already advised him that on my next visit to Cornwall in April I shall be hiring him again. I would highly recommend Simon .
