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.

Firstly they came on time and job was finished on time, I would have given 4 1/2 stars overall. There was a couple of things I would have given 4 1/2 stars for and a mostly I would have given 5 stars. They was always on time every morning and was nice and polite. Overall I'm satisfied and looking forward to completing the rest myself. I had so many nice builders come to look and price the work, it was hard to choose. I am very happy with the outcome of the work.

Joinery & Cabinet Making- 9 Sep 2024
Poor attention to detail. Had to explain the job four (4!) times even though he had two other examples in the room next door. He motivated it on the grounds that his Grandmother was ill and could not focus. Tried to cut corners from originally agreed estimate by pinching a few Pounds here and there. Example: cheap hinges instead of good quality, one hinge instead of two. Left an absolute mess (indoors and outdoors) after work every day. I even had to gather his tools from all over the house and deposit them in the porch for him to collect. Job lasted longer due to short days and absences (Grandma health, Mother's birthday etc. related). In the end the job was finished by somebody else. Nice, good sense of humour, likeable lad but needs improvement of work ethic.
