What Is the Process for Installing a Deck?

Decking installation begins with site preparation and groundwork, including clearing the area and levelling the foundation.

A sturdy subframe is constructed using pressure-treated timber or metal joists to support the decking boards.

The chosen decking material is then laid and secured, with appropriate spacing to allow for expansion and drainage.

Finally, finishing touches such as railings, steps, and integrated lighting are added to enhance both functionality and appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Installing a Deck?

A well-designed deck expands your outdoor living space while increasing property value and curb appeal.

Decking provides a safe, durable, and slip-resistant surface, making it ideal for families, businesses, and entertainment areas.

With a wide variety of materials, finishes, and colours, decking enhances any outdoor area while offering low-maintenance solutions for long-term savings.

What Types of Decking Materials Are Available?

A decking installation job has multiple options to choose from, including:

• Softwood decking (e.g., pine, cedar) is cost-effective and easy to work with.
• Hardwood decking (e.g., teak, oak) offers superior durability and a premium finish.
• Composite decking combines wood fibres and plastic for low-maintenance, long-lasting performance.
• Capped composite decking features a protective outer layer for added resistance to moisture and stains.
• PVC decking is 100% plastic, highly weather-resistant, and ideal for wet or humid environments.

How Much Does Decking Installation Cost?

The cost of decking installation ranges from £50 to £200 per square metre, with hardwood and premium composite decks at the higher end.

Additional costs may include subframe construction, railings, lighting, and planning permissions, particularly for raised or multi-level decks.

How Long Does Decking Installation Take?

A standard-sized deck can be completed in 2 to 5 days, while larger or multi-level decks may take a week or more.

Factors such as ground conditions, weather delays, and additional features (e.g., built-in seating, custom railings) can impact the timeline.

How Do I Maintain My Deck?

Maintaining wood decking requires regular sealing, staining, or painting to protect it from moisture, UV rays, and wear.

Composite and PVC decking, on the other hand, only require routine cleaning with mild soap and water to remove dirt and algae buildup.

To extend the lifespan of your deck, use protective furniture pads, clean spills promptly, and inspect for any loose boards or fixings.

How Does Decking Compare to Other Outdoor Flooring Options?

Decking has many benefits when compared to other outdoor flooring options, such as:

• Decking vs. paving/concrete: Decking offers a warmer, more natural look and can be installed on uneven ground, while paving and concrete require level surfaces and more excavation.
• Wood vs. composite decking: Wood provides a traditional aesthetic but needs regular upkeep, whereas composite is more durable and low-maintenance.
