Composite vs timber decking

We install both, and the right choice comes down to maintenance versus up-front cost. Timber decking — pressure-treated softwood or hardwood — gives a natural, warm look and can be stained or painted, but it needs cleaning and re-treating periodically to hold off greying and rot. Composite decking costs more to buy but is virtually maintenance-free: it won't rot, warp, or splinter, resists fading, and only wants an occasional wash. If you're also having (or already have) composite fencing, a composite deck can be matched to it so the whole garden ties together. We'll give you an honest steer at the quote.

Built for your garden — raised, multi-level & ground-level

Decking is the best way to get usable, level outdoor space out of a sloping, uneven, or awkward garden. We build ground-level platforms for seamless indoor-outdoor flow, raised decks on a proper supporting sub-frame for sloping plots, and multi-level decks that split a garden into distinct zones — dining, lounging, a hot-tub base. Every deck is built on a correctly specified, treated sub-frame set level and solid, with steps and handrails where the height needs them. The sub-frame is the part you don't see and the part that decides whether a deck stays firm and safe for years — so it's where we don't cut corners.

Deck repair, refinishing & restoration

An old deck often doesn't need replacing — it needs bringing back to life. We repair and restore tired decking: replacing rotten, split, or springy boards, fixing or reinforcing the sub-frame and joists, renewing loose or rotten handrails and spindles, and cleaning, sanding, and re-staining timber so it looks close to new again. We'll be straight about whether a repair-and-refinish is the sensible, cost-effective option or whether the structure has gone too far and a replacement deck is the better call.

Pergolas, patio enclosures, porches & built-in seating

Decking is often part of a bigger outdoor-living project, so we build the structures that go with it: pergolas (freestanding or wall-mounted, timber or steel) for shade and planting; patio enclosures and screens for privacy and shelter; raised patio decks adjacent to or replacing a patio; front and side porches; and integrated bench seating and planters built into the deck. Doing the deck and the structures together means they're designed and built to work as one space rather than bolted on afterwards.

Finishing — staining, lighting & the wider garden

We finish timber decks with quality stain or oil to protect them and set the colour you want, and can build in deck lighting for ambience and safe steps after dark. Because we're a fencing and landscaping firm too, decking can be combined with new fencing, a patio, lawn, or planting as a single garden project — one contractor, one plan, finishes that meet cleanly.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Composite or timber decking — which should I choose?

Timber decking is cheaper up front, looks naturally beautiful, and can be stained any colour, but it needs cleaning and re-treating periodically to stay at its best. Composite decking costs more initially but is virtually maintenance-free — it won't rot, warp, or splinter, resists fading, and only needs an occasional wash. For a low-effort, long-life deck most people now choose composite, especially if it can match composite fencing; for budget or a natural-wood look, timber. We fit both and will give you an honest steer at the quote.

How long does decking last?

It depends on the material and the sub-frame. A properly built timber deck on a sound, treated sub-frame lasts many years with regular care; composite decking laid on the right sub-frame typically lasts 20-25 years or more with almost no maintenance. The sub-frame is the part that decides it — we build it properly, because a deck is only as good as the structure underneath the boards.

Can you repair or restore an existing deck?

Yes — we repair and restore tired decks: replacing rotten or split boards, fixing or reinforcing the sub-frame and joists, renewing handrails and spindles, and cleaning, sanding, and re-staining timber to bring it back to life. Often a deck that looks past it just needs a repair and refinish rather than a full replacement; we'll tell you honestly which yours needs.

Can you build decking on a sloping or uneven garden?

Yes — raised and multi-level decking is one of the best ways to get usable, level outdoor space out of a sloping or awkward garden. We build a proper supporting sub-frame and posts, set level and safe, with steps and handrails where the height needs them. A raised deck often turns the least usable part of a garden into the most-used.

Do you build pergolas, patio decks, and built-in seating?

Yes — alongside the deck itself we build pergolas (freestanding or wall-mounted, timber or steel), patio enclosures and screens, raised patio decks, and integrated seating and planters. Doing it as one project means the deck, the shade structure, and the seating are designed and built to work together.

Do you install decking across Nottinghamshire?

Yes — we install, repair, and restore decking throughout Nottingham and the surrounding Nottinghamshire towns and villages, in timber and composite. Ring us for a free site visit and fixed-price quote.
