Ken was very willing to offer his expertise, he was able to give us a clear idea and was hired to do our decking, his original quote was fair, which was for regular softwood decking. After some consideration we decided to go for composite decking because we didn't want the maintenance issues and cracking etc. Ken recommended eco deck which he hadn't used before, but it looked good quality. I contacted ecl to check out prices ect and was a bit shocked when Ken re-quoted at almost twice the price for the job. However we went ahead and the job turned out nice, although I did have to be on hand as some areas were not to our liking.
Overall:
+ good reliability, his assistant was a nice young lad.
+ Good experienced deck person as that's all he does.
+ Straightforward and efficient.
_ cost was more than expected in the end, (but pleased with the decision to go for the composite ecodec).
_ Slight concern over an area where the water does not drain away.
_ need to be very precise on detail, (But Ken was willing to try and please).
Overall pleased with the final look but thought the cost a little higher than expected and will check the drainage situation and hope that if we do have a problem Ken will come back to sort it out.
