Decking

If you are considering having an area in your garden designed where you can sit in the sunshine and have your dinner but having block paving laid isn’t an option, then having decking can be a great alternative. It can look just as effective, is very affordable and is easily maintained.

We have many decking options from you to choose from depending on the budget you have in mind. Once your decking has been installed, we would recommend you stain it in the colour of your choice maybe once a year. This will help to protect your decking from the elements and will make it last for many years.

We know we can design you a unique, yet practical area ideal for entertaining your family and friends at a reasonable price. By using nothing but top quality timber and our expertise, we can guarantee you that your new decking area is going to be worth every penny.

We can install aluminium railings around your decking if this is something you require. You can really make your decking stand out by having lighting incorporated into the timber. If you have an electrician that can do this for you, then we will happily work with them to give you exactly what you want.

What types of decking materials can I choose from?

We offer a variety of decking materials including softwood, hardwood and composite options. Each material has its own look and performance characteristics, so you can choose based on your budget, maintenance preferences and how you plan to use your garden decking in Lancashire.

How long does decking last?

The lifespan of decking depends on the material and level of maintenance. Pressure-treated timber decking can last many years with regular care, while high-quality composite decking can last even longer with minimal maintenance. Proper installation also makes a big difference in longevity.

Does garden decking need a lot of maintenance?

Decking requires some care to stay looking its best. Timber decks benefit from annual staining or sealing to protect against weather and wear, while composite decking generally needs only regular sweeping and occasional washing.

Can decking be installed on uneven ground?

Yes. Professional deck installation involves preparing the ground and building a proper sub-frame so the decking sits level and stable, even on uneven or sloped gardens. This helps prevent problems with movement or water pooling beneath the deck.

Do I need planning permission for a decking installation?

In most domestic garden situations in Lancashire, decking doesn’t require planning permission. If your deck would be unusually large, raised high above ground level, or near a boundary, we can advise you on any local guidelines before work begins.

How long does decking installation take?

Installation time varies depending on the size and complexity of the decking area. Most residential decking projects are completed in a few days, including ground preparation, framing and fixing the deck boards.

How much does decking cost in Lancashire?

The cost depends on factors like decking material (softwood, hardwood, composite), the size of the deck and any additional features such as lighting or railings. We offer free site surveys and personalised quotations so you can get an accurate price.
