Timber or composite decking?

Timber looks warm and is generally cheaper to install, but needs regular oiling. Composite holds its colour and needs far less maintenance, at a higher material cost. We will compare both for your deck size and exposure.

Can you repair rather than replace a deck?

Often yes. If the frame and footings are sound, re-boarding and repairs can be the sensible option. We check the structure before recommending anything.

Overview

About decks

A deck should suit the level of the house, the way you use the yard and the amount of weather it takes. We build new decks and upgrade existing ones, including the steps, screens and handrails that make the space work.

Things to consider

Hardwood timber gives a natural look but needs oiling; composite boards cost more upfront and need less upkeep.
Board direction, framing centres and fixing method all change the finished look and long-term performance.
Height above ground affects footings and whether balustrades are required.
