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.

Fencing- 30 Nov 2022
Highline came round to survey the property to ensure we were all aligned of what we wanted to be installed. They took some measurements and photos and went away to get some material prices. Came back within a couple of days with a formal breakdown of costs both material and labour split. We also discussed timeframes and what would work best for us. They removed an old fence, dug out the footings for a new one with concrete bases and posts, and installed a new higher and straight fence boundary. They also dug up our old existing patio/concrete area and re-laid a nice new patio. Took all rubble and excess materials away as requested and left the property in a very good state. They also made a new gate for us to match the existing fencing! Really nice guys, would recommend and if we need anything else doing I'll defiantly be giving them a call.

Decking- 12 May 2020
Absolutely fantastic service and amazing job completed for me and my husband. We got a quote for decking and we added additional items such as a fence post, hanging the gate and some steps to the decking. Ryan and his colleague were proactive workers nothing was too much trouble. From the competitive professional quotation, to the actual delivery of the work they were a delight to have around and completed the works to such a high standard, I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Costa built up a wall in my garden that was not level. He was very helpful from start to finish. Provided a very reasonable quote and went beyond what was included to help me with some mistakes I had made in materials ordered etc. The job itself was perfect, Costa is a perfectionist and the quality of work was brilliant. He also cleaned the area afterward and left no mess. I'm very happy and would definitely recommend Costa, and use him again for any jobs I may need.
