DECKING INSTALLATION SPECIALISTS IN DORSET AND HAMPSHIRE

The time required to build a deck varies based on size, design complexity, and weather conditions. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks once the building process begins. Planning ahead by getting a detailed project plan, professional 3D archetual designs and securing any relevant permits help to streamline the process and get your new deck built as soon as possible. We're here to support you through this entire process.

For most projects in the UK, planning permission is generally not required for decks less than 30cm above ground level, and most residential properties won't need one. However, for higher or larger structures, planning permission may be required.

Building in one of the many conservation areas within Dorset and Hampshire will require planning permission in most cases, in order to protect the historic and natural beauty found throughout the area. 

We'll be able to advise you on whether you'll need any permits and can guide you on how to obtain them.

You can also check on the local council sites to see if you live within a conservation area:

Dorset and Hampshire rarely see extreme weather, which is good news for your deck.

Composite decking simply requires occasional cleaning with soapy water to keep it looking new - the composite material is manufactured to be permanently resistant to the elements and doesn't require any additional treatment.

Whilst softwood and hardwood decks also need occasional cleaning to remove any build-up of natural material on the surface, they also require sealing and staining once every 1-3 years after initial installation to remain protected.

We use the highest grade of weather-treated timber to build the framework and seal any parts exposed to the elements using various membranes, decking tape, bitumen sealant and weed membrane to ensure the integrity of the structural framework.

The cost varies based on size, material, and design complexity. On average, small home decking projects can start from £10,000 to £15,000, whereas larger projects can reach into the £250,000's range.
