Overview
About Wooden Decking
Timber decking gives you a level platform over ground that would be expensive to pave, which makes it a sensible answer to a garden that drops away from the back door. The frame matters more than the boards. We space the joists so the deck does not flex underfoot, and we leave air moving beneath it, because decking that cannot breathe is decking that rots from below.

The process
How the job runs
- 1
Check levels and access
We work out the finished deck height against the back door, the damp course and the garden, and how the deck will be reached.
- 2
Set the supports
Posts or bearers are set on solid pads rather than straight onto soil, so the frame is not sitting in wet ground.
- 3
Build the frame
Joists are spaced to suit the boards and the span, which is what stops a deck feeling springy underfoot.
- 4
Lay the boards
Boards go down with consistent gaps for drainage and movement, fixed so the heads sit flush.
- 5
Steps, rails and hand over
Steps and any handrail go on last and the frame is closed in while leaving air moving beneath the deck, then we walk the finished deck with you and go through how to keep the timber looking good.
The price
Wooden Decking costs
No two jobs price the same, and anyone quoting over the phone without seeing it is guessing. These are the things that actually move the number, and the visit to work them out is free.
- The area of the deck and how high off the ground it sits
- Timber grade and board choice
- Whether it needs a balustrade, which is a significant part of a raised deck
- How much groundwork the supports need
- The number of steps down to the garden
