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.

We contacted Ben after seeing a drive he had completed locally to us and saw is advertising board. Ben came to look at the job and listen to what we wanted, the main thing was to raise the garden to get rid of the slope that was there as my husband and had a few falls in the garden with it being uneven. Bens work is fantastic and he has gone above and beyond to ensure we have what we wanted. Ben came every day he said he would, even on rainy days to ensure everything was ok. He ensured the garden was safe for our little Yorkie to use on a night time and always left a path way clear for my husband to walk to his car clear. Our garden looks fantastic and we are so happy with it, the garden area for our vegetable plot is now safe for my husband to use. He is also coming back on Saturday to back all the garden furniture that he moved. We would recommend Ben to anyone and will be using him again for other jobs we need doing.

We have hired Andrew to do quite a lot of work for us including replacing our conservatory and work on the exterior walls of our house. He is great, he is really friendly. I believe him to be completely trustworthy, after he had worked for us the first time I was more than happy to leave him with a house key when I went out. Andrew has always called us shortly after he has finished jobs to confirm that we are happy. I highly recommend him and give him 10 out of 10!

Colin was employed by us to carry out a variety of building and decorating projects. Colin prepared and painted our downstairs rooms plus hall, stairs and landing to a high standard. He worked hard and methodically, and always cleared up well at the end of each day. Due to the quality of his work and his character, Colin was very reliable, always came when he said he would . Was friendly and respectful of our property and we were happy to leave him at work while we were out. We therefore asked him if he would give us an estimate for a shed that we wanted converted to an extra room. Colin was totally honest about what he could do and what would need another tradesman such as electrics and plumbing. We were very pleased with the finished result and he also laid a ceramic tile floor for us. On another occasion Colin did some general gardening for us and again we were very pleased. We would not hesitate in having Colin to do further work for us and would certainly recommend him.

Highly Recommended!! - Michael built me a 6ft fence and gate to rear and 4ft fence to front garden. He also had to remove 2 large bushes and old tree stumps to do this. The work was completed quickly and to a very high standard. Michael was also very polite and extremely tidy taking all waste away with him. Excellent quality and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be using him again for some decking and paving jobs I have this year.- 5 Star Service!!
