Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Decking services answered.
What's the difference between composite and timber decking?
Composite is virtually maintenance-free – no staining or sealing needed, and it won’t splinter. Timber gives that lovely natural warmth but benefits from an annual treatment. We’ll bring samples so you can feel and see the difference for yourself.
How long does decking installation take?
Most decks take 2–4 days to complete. Simple ground-level decks are quicker, while multi-level designs with stairs take a bit longer. We’ll give you an exact timeline after seeing your garden.
Is decking suitable for Dorset weather?
Absolutely! Both our composite and treated timber are designed for our damp climate. They won’t rot, warp or fade, and we build them with proper drainage so puddles are never an issue.
Do I need planning permission for decking?
Usually not if it’s under 30cm high. Higher decks or ones covering more than 50% of your garden might need approval. We’ll check your specific situation during the free consultation.
Can you repair my existing deck?
Yes! We fix wobbly boards, replace damaged sections, reinforce frames and give it a fresh look. Often much more affordable than a full replacement.
What guarantee do you offer?
Every deck comes with our full workmanship guarantee, plus manufacturer warranties on materials. We’ll explain all the details when we send your quote.

Excellent job
Excellent job. So pleased with the work carried out to complete a small patio. Had full confidence in Paul from first visit and he was quick to quote and book in a time. Paul was also very helpful in finding matching sandstone paving. We’re delighted with the result and definitely recommend.
