Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
How much does a new deck typically cost to build?
Deck construction costs vary significantly based on size, materials, and design complexity. A basic timber deck might start around £3,000-£5,000, while composite decking with custom features like built-in seating or multi-level designs can range from £8,000-£15,000 or more. During your free consultation, you'll receive a detailed quote based on your specific space, material preferences, and the structural requirements of your property.
What's the difference between composite and timber decking?
Composite decking requires virtually no maintenance, won't splinter or rot, and lasts 25-30 years without staining or sealing. Timber offers a traditional aesthetic at lower initial cost but needs annual treatment and typically requires replacement after 10-15 years. Most customers choose composite for the long-term savings and the fact that it still looks new years later, like the deck that's been down eight months without any maintenance needs.
How long does it take to build a deck from start to finish?
Most deck projects take 5-10 working days from groundwork to completion, depending on size and complexity. This includes permit processing, foundation work, frame construction, and finishing touches. Simple single-level decks on good ground conditions can be completed faster, while multi-level designs with custom railings take longer. You'll receive a clear timeline during your consultation, and many projects finish ahead of schedule.
Do I need planning permission to build a deck?
Most decks under 30cm high don't require planning permission, but building regulations may still apply depending on height, proximity to boundaries, and your property type. If your deck is elevated or attached to your home, permits are typically necessary. The good news is that the team handles all permit applications and ensures your deck meets local building codes, so you don't need to navigate the council requirements yourself.
What maintenance does a composite deck require?
Composite decking needs minimal maintenance—just occasional sweeping and washing with soap and water to remove dirt or pollen. You'll never need to sand, stain, or seal it like timber. The hidden fastener system means there are no exposed screws to rust, and the material resists mold, fading, and weathering. Your completed deck comes with a care guide explaining the simple steps to keep it looking pristine for decades.
Can you build a deck on uneven or sloping ground?
Absolutely, and this is where professional construction makes all the difference. The team regularly works with challenging terrain, using adjustable support posts and proper foundation work to create a perfectly level deck surface regardless of ground conditions. They'll assess drainage issues during the site visit and design a solution that prevents water pooling while creating the stable, flat outdoor space you're looking for.
Why do some deck quotes vary so much in price?
Lower quotes often cut corners on foundation work, joist spacing, or material quality—shortcuts that lead to squeaky boards, sagging, or premature failure. Proper deck construction requires correctly spaced concrete footings, adequate joist support, and quality fasteners that won't corrode. Paying for experienced builders means you get structural integrity that lasts decades, not just something that looks good initially but develops problems within a year or two.
What kind of warranty comes with deck construction?
You receive a three-year structural guarantee covering the foundation, framing, and installation workmanship. This protects your investment against construction defects, sagging, or structural movement. Composite materials themselves typically carry manufacturer warranties of 25-30 years against fading, staining, and material defects. Your guarantee documentation is provided at project completion, giving you complete peace of mind about the quality and longevity of your outdoor space.
Is now a good time to build a deck?
Spring through early autumn offers the best weather conditions for deck construction, though experienced builders work year-round when ground conditions allow. Booking during winter months often means better availability and potentially faster scheduling for spring installation. The key is allowing enough time for design consultation, permit processing, and scheduling—typically 4-6 weeks from initial contact to construction start, depending on project complexity and current demand.
Can you add features like built-in seating or planters?
Definitely—custom features are where deck design gets exciting. Built-in bench seating maximizes space and eliminates the need for separate furniture, while integrated planters, lighting, or privacy screens transform your deck into a complete outdoor room. During your design consultation, you'll discuss how you plan to use the space, and the team will suggest features that enhance functionality while staying within your budget and complementing your home's style.
What happens to my old deck during replacement?
The team removes your existing deck structure completely, including old posts and footings, then properly disposes of all materials. This is crucial because leaving old foundations can cause drainage problems or interfere with the new construction. They'll also identify and correct any underlying issues like poor drainage or ground settling that may have affected your old deck, ensuring your new structure has the proper foundation for decades of use.
How do I know if my deck is built to proper standards?
Proper deck construction follows strict building codes for joist spacing, footing depth, railing height, and load-bearing capacity. With 30 years of construction experience and a 98% on-time completion rate, you're working with builders who understand these requirements thoroughly. Your project includes a final walkthrough where everything is explained, and the structural guarantee provides written assurance that your deck meets all safety and durability standards for long-term performance.
