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.

Handyman- 8 Mar 2022
Simon did a great job of fitting our loft ladder and as a result we gave him the job of fitting our new kitchen. After getting a quote fro a leading Kitchen Company, Simon said we can do it cheaper and better. We gave him the go ahead. True to his work he and his team Dave and Alistair sourced the kitchen including appliances and carried out the work. The kitchen took some time as we had to wait for a back order of some of the items. I can honestly say the project turned out well. We now have a brad new fully fitted Kitchen for less than originally quoted. The work was to an very high standard, The team made sure everything was clean and tidy at the end of each day. My wife and I will never use any other builders in the future. We have already earmarked them for decorating the whole hose and fit a new staircase. They are adept at Plastering, plumbing, painting, floor laying, Blind fitting and assembling units all to the best possible standard. I would never go to anyone else for work.If you want a good professional job then look no further than Simon Hudson and his team.

Adrian built a double garage and an attached shed to the garage. I was exceptionally pleased with what he did - it was a very good job. He arrives on time, tidies up when he finishes and is very pleasant. The erection of the garage was part of a barn conversion that was also completed by Adrian and the standard of work is very high, quality of fittings is also very high - the conversion was finished within the time that he said it would take and we are very pleased with the finished job. I would recommend him at any time for any jobs.

Lana and her partner arrived on time, completed the job as per requirements, cleaned up after them and left the place in a much nicer, usable state. So much so, that I came back looking for them on my builder, a year since the job was originally completed, as I had something else in mind.
