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.

Landscaping- 4 Jun 2016
Thomas was very professional, he came to view our garden before starting the job and I was really pleased with his visit. He relaid approx. 65 sq metre of artificial turf for us. They cleaned up after each day and the job was finished very well. Communication was very good and I would definitely call on Thomas again.

Decking- 28 May 2023
Eric and Andy arrived on time and got straight onto the job. A 3m x 3m composite decking. The lads were very professional, thorough and tidy. We are over the moon with the final result. Upon paying, the lads informed us that they didn't use all the materials ie cement and timber and took £30 off final price. Very rare nowadays. Highly recommend. Thank you for a great job

Tiling- 24 Aug 2020
Absolutely brilliant job from Dean! Excellent service and value. Floor to ceiling tiling in my bathroom. Despite it being a more complex job than he originally thought, he did a *flawless* job and charged exactly what he first quoted. The finish is superb: every single nook and cranny is perfect, no corner-cutting at all! He gave me great advice on new ceiling covering so I went ahead and hired him to do that too. He did it just a couple of days after finishing the tiling - completed it in a day and it's a fantastic job, at a very reasonable price. Dean was friendly and reliable, and left my flat clean and tidy after all the work. Highly recommended!

We had bought a new build house with a garage attached which we wanted to convert into an extension of the kitchen. Mark was outstanding from the word go and we couldn’t be happier with the finish of our house. He was here every day from morning till night and done a fantastic job which we are absolutely delighted with. As well as the conversion, Mark completed other joinery jobs for us including : fitted wardrobes, a TV wall (which mark built from scratch) and fitted our flooring throughout the kitchen and hall. Everything is done perfectly and we couldn’t be happier. If you need any joinery work done in your home then Mark is your man for the job. Cannot recommend him enough!
