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.

Extensions- 19 Sep 2018
Antony Acomb is a very nice guy and talks a good talk, but do not use him for anything other than building a small wall, we had an extension built by Antony Acomb (built! I use that term very losely) it should have taken 10 weeks but after 26 weeks and the work still not finished we had to remove him from our home, everything he had done has had to be redone, apart from the brickwork and that's not great, he didn't even channel out the drainage meaning we had to have a damp proof course and soak away done in a NEW extension, all the plastering has to be done again, the roof needs taking down and redoing, he stuffed plastic bags in gaps and covered with concrete, he didn't level the floor and he didn't even cap off the old drain he just covered it with tiles and then concrete, he didn't remove skirtings before laying the floor, the list is endless, I'm not exaggerating, John Fowler, manager of building control York said it was one of the worse builds he has seen in 30 years, his words were it's so dire, Antony is now trading under AA building and renovation Ltd, he took £15500 Of our hard earned money and then got a solicitor to demand another £3000, so far we have had to pay another £17000 to put it right, clearly this job was too big for him, this will be on going and we won't stop until we get our money back, but we need to warn everyone, tiny job, yes but bigger then stay well clear of Antony Acomb from Acomb maintenance and solutions or AA building and Renovations.

Garden Maintenance- 27 Jun 2017
Thomas did a really good job in our garden. The work was completed on time, exactly as quoted and for the right price, and Thomas knows his trade really well. But what sets him and his brother apart from other builders we dealt with is the work ethic: professional, friendly, polite, careful with their surroundings and completely dedicated to providing the best service possible, from the beginning to the very end. We will definitely be using TPS Developments again.

Decking- 13 Aug 2018
I requested a quote from this firm on or around the 21st May. I informed them at this time that I wished for the work to be completed during the last week of July and the first week in August. A quote was given and both the price and dates agreed. I then contacted Frank in the last week of June to ensure everything was still on track, he replied advising that he would contact me during after the 14th with the intention of starting the work the last week of July first week of August as agreed. I contacted him again on my return and he said he needed to visit to finalise some details. I heard nothing so contacted him on 23rd for a final date he came to see me to measure up on the 27th July. I was advised the following day by Frank that there would be a 3 week waiting time for materials and part of the work I.e to make decking good could not be completed by the 18th August and the remainder of the work couldnt be undertaken until September. He suggested I check my other quotes! I feel utterly dismayed and let down by this firm and I certainly would not recommend them.

Garden Maintenance- 1 Nov 2017
Simply excellent! Chris was extremely efficient and provided the perfect solution for my garden. I wanted something that looked pleasing to the eye but low maintenance and his proposal undoubtedly met my expectations. Also very responsive to emails, which is always comforting. An absolute pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend for any other job. Thank you for doing an excellent job.

Conversions - General- 10 Aug 2020
At First Wesley who 'project managed' seemed really great and we got on very well I thought. The project has not been an easy one with monies being delayed on my part, difficult neighbour, Co-vid and me asking lots of questions I will admit to that. However if I am paying 105k I am entitled to ask lots of questions in my opinion and should be made to feel comfortable doing so. If it is too much for them they can ask me politely to put it all in 1 email. I was not that present at the start of the project and I have been since June and they have not liked it and now I know why. These men have now walked off with £87,500 of my money and left my house in a complete state. Rubble everywhere, no roof, walls or anything and a complete mess. Since they left I have realised how poor and lazy the work is as have many other tradesmen and surveyors. They have carried out substandard work. I do not even think it will pass regs. Beer cans found and no toilet onsite so using my garden... They got aggressive and shouted at me which is also not acceptable! I understand people have their differences and may not get on but it is no way to treat someone especially not your client. They have done awful work, started many parts and not finished 1. It's all over the place. Stolen my money and run off. 5 months work and it looks as if they have only spent 2 months on it. These men have committed serious Fraud, do not use them EVER. Empty promises, substandard work and aggressive.
