FAQs – Decking

Timber decking is a popular choice for homeowners who want a natural, traditional finish. It works well in both modern and classic garden designs, can be stained or painted to suit your style, and offers strong durability when properly maintained.

Composite decking is ideal for those looking for a low-maintenance option. It resists rot, fading, and insect damage, and does not require regular staining or sealing. Timber decking offers a more natural appearance, so the best option depends on your budget and preferences.

uPVC decking is a practical option for many gardens thanks to its weather resistance and easy maintenance. It is especially useful in areas exposed to moisture or heavy use, providing a durable surface that stays looking smart with minimal upkeep.

No, you don’t. Our professional installers will carry out a full site survey and take accurate measurements for you. This ensures the decking fits properly, integrates with your garden layout, and enables a clear, accurate quotation. We make the whole service as convenient as possible for you!
