Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Once the deck is in place how do you prevent weeds growing up through the spaces?

A. Many commercial weed killers are harmful to the environment, children and pets, therefore we use a specific weed barrier membrane that allows natural drainage but prevents the growth of weeds.

Q. I thought I had found the ideal place in my garden for a deck, however there are two manholes in the way, will I have to choose another area?

A. No, we can overcome the problem of manholes by building in a trap door that is easily removed for access.

Q. How much does it cost?

A. Our prices range from as little as £1500, to £50,000+ as we custom design each deck for each individual, hopefully somewhere between those figures we can tailor your deck to suit your property and your budget.

Q. How long does a wooden deck last?

A. All of our timbers are pressure treated which ensures a life expectancy of at least 15 years in direct contact with the ground, and 40 years when the timbers are suspended. The fixings we use are all galvanised steel this prevents rusting which causes unsightly staining on the timber and would eventually decay.

Q. I am concerned about the time, effort and expense of maintaining a deck.

A. The upkeep of a deck is minimal and restricted to a yearly wash down to prevent the possible build up of any algae.

Q. As the mother of two toddlers, I am obviously concerned about the safety aspects of having decking. My main worries are the nails and fixings that are used.

A. The problems that can arise with using nails to hold the decking in place is that they can loosen and lift, this leaves a nasty barb that is potentially dangerous to hands and feet of adults and children alike. However, the system of deck fixings we use is imported from the United States and is totally concealed, therefore eliminating this danger.

Q. Will my deck need Planning Permission or Building Regulations?

A. This is very unlikely, unless your deck is on a first floor elevation or on a listed building. Our designer is there to advise you and will apply for planning or building regulations if necessary.
