Learn more about decking, how to maintain it and the benefits of adding one to your garden, along with other frequently asked questions we receive about our Essex decking service.

How Long Does It Take to Install a Deck?
Installation time frames depend on the size and complexity of the project and the materials chosen. A standard deck installation can take from a few days to a week.
For all of our services, a detailed consultation will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific needs and requirements.
What Are the Benefits of Adding a Deck to My Garden?
Adding a deck to your garden can provide various benefits, from enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your property to creating an additional outdoor living space and an area perfect for hosting and entertainment. Many decks also increase the value of a property, provided they are well-maintained.
How Do I Maintain My Deck?
Specific maintenance requirements depend on the material of your deck.
Hardwood and Softwood decks may require cleaning, staining or sealing to protect against water damage.
Composite decks typically only need an occasional soap and water clean.
Once installed, our team will provide specific maintenance tips based on your chosen decking material.
Can Decking Be Installed on Uneven Ground?
Absolutely, decking can be installed on uneven ground. Using a framework system that allows a deck to be levelled and securely fitted, we can ensure the deck can be built on sloped or uneven terrain. This allows for a safe and stable deck, regardless of the landscape.
What Factors Affect the Cost of Decking?
The size of your required deck and the materials used are often the most significant contributors to price. However, design complexity and additional features – such as in-build seating or lighting – also factor into the final quotation.
During our initial consultation, we’ll provide you with a detailed quote based on your specific requirements, allowing you to budget effectively with complete transparency from us.
What Types of Decking Materials Work Best for Outdoor Spaces in Essex and Suffolk?
Hardwood and composite decking materials are highly recommended. Hardwood decking, such as oak or teak, offers a natural, timeless look and can withstand the wet weather conditions often experienced in Suffolk. Composite decking is another great option for those seeking low maintenance, as it is resistant to rot, splintering, and fading, making it ideal for coastal areas like those in Essex.
