Your Perfect Decking Solution
Classic Timber Decking
For a timeless and natural aesthetic, classic timber decking is the perfect choice. We use high-quality, pressure-treated softwood or durable hardwoods to create a warm, inviting outdoor area that beautifully complements any garden.
Low Maintenance Composite
Enjoy the look of wood without the upkeep. Modern composite decking is slip-resistant, fade-resistant, and won't warp, rot, or splinter. It's a highly durable solution that never needs staining or sealing, making it a low maintenance solution.
Bespoke Design Features
Elevate your space from a simple deck to a stunning outdoor feature. We can incorporate custom elements like multi-level tiers, integrated steps, built-in seating, and stylish balustrades in glass, timber, or metal to create your perfect design.
Why Install Decking?
A beautiful deck is the perfect way to create a stylish and versatile outdoor living area, adding a new dimension to your garden. Ideal for tackling uneven or sloped ground, decking provides a stable and attractive platform perfect for dining, entertaining or simply relaxing in the sun.

- Aesthetic Appeal: Decking can dramatically improve the look of your garden, adding a natural and inviting touch.

Built to Last: Our Decking Construction
Solid & Secure Foundations
The safety and longevity of your deck start from the ground up. We begin by setting robust support posts into concrete footings, creating an immovable and perfectly level foundation that ensures your deck remains stable for decades.
Treated Subframe
The unseen frame is the most critical part of the structure. We construct a heavy-duty subframe using pressure-treated timber with correctly spaced joints to provide maximum strength and prevent any bouncing or sagging.
Precision Fitting & Finishing
Our craftsmanship is evident in every detail. We use high-quality, corrosion-resistant screws and fixings, ensuring each deck board is perfectly aligned and securely fastened for a flawless, professional, and safe finish.
What types of decking materials do you offer?
We specialise in two main types of high-quality decking to suit different tastes and budgets. We offer traditional pressure-treated softwood timber for a classic, natural look that is both durable and cost-effective. For a premium, maintenance-free solution, we also install composite decking, which is an advanced material that won’t rot, warp, or fade, and is available in a wide variety of modern colours and finishes.
My garden isn't flat, can I still have decking?
Yes, decking is the perfect solution for uneven, sloping, or multi-level gardens. We are experts at building strong, level subframes that can tame any awkward terrain. This process allows us to create a perfectly flat and usable decked area on a surface where a traditional patio would be difficult or impossible to install.
How long will it take to install my new deck?
The installation time depends on the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward, small-to-medium-sized deck might take 2-4 days to complete. Larger, more complex designs or those on difficult terrain will naturally take longer.
Is composite decking really maintenance-free?
Composite decking is exceptionally low-maintenance. It requires no sanding, staining, or sealing, ever. To keep it looking its best, all you need to do is give it a simple wash with soap and water or a light pressure wash from time to time to clear off any surface dirt. It’s the ideal choice if you want maximum enjoyment with minimal effort.
Is traditional timber or modern composite decking better?
The best choice depends on your priorities. Timber decking offers timeless, natural beauty and is generally more affordable upfront. It does require some annual cleaning and re-staining to keep it in prime condition. Composite decking has a higher initial cost but is virtually maintenance-free, incredibly long-lasting, and highly resistant to stains and fading, making it a great long-term investment for a hassle-free garden.
