Because of the region’s moderate but often damp coastal weather, composite decking is an excellent choice for its low-maintenance, rot-resistant qualities. However, if you prefer a natural aesthetic, properly treated timber also stands up well in seaside conditions. We’ll help you weigh pros and cons, so you choose the right decking based on style, budget, and expected upkeep.

We provide comprehensive decking services - covering everything from minor repairs and refurbishments to full-scale replacements. If you’re near Wareham or Swanage and your existing deck has rotting boards or structural issues, our team can assess the damage and recommend the ideal solution, whether that’s a straightforward patch-up or a total overhaul.

Timelines vary based on factors like the size of your deck, overall design complexity, and weather conditions. Smaller projects generally wrap up in around 1–2 weeks, while larger, multi-level decks - especially those with custom features - may require 3–4 weeks. We’ll coordinate with you and our trusted local suppliers to keep your project moving smoothly.

Absolutely. We specialise in building decks on challenging terrains throughout Dorset, including tiered or sloping gardens in Studland, Langton Matravers, and beyond. Our team will customise the design to follow your garden’s contours, making the most of every inch of outdoor space while ensuring a stable and visually appealing finish.

In most cases, if your deck is less than 30cm above ground level, you won’t need planning permission. However, for properties located in designated conservation areas such as Corfe Castle, additional approvals might be necessary. We’ll help you navigate any local regulations so that your new deck installation is fully compliant.

All our work, whether composite, hardwood, or timber decking, comes with a minimum 15-year guarantee. This reflects our commitment to top-tier materials and impeccable craftsmanship across all service areas, including Swanage, Wareham, and the wider Isle of Purbeck.

Coastal settings often require a bit more vigilance due to salt air and moisture. Composite decking typically needs only an occasional wash-down to remove debris and salt residue. Timber decking may require periodic sealing or staining to maintain its protective barrier. During installation, we’ll give you tailored upkeep recommendations suited to your chosen materials and coastal location.
