What we mean by decking
The bit beneath the surface.
Decking lives or dies on the sub-frame. Most failed decks didn't fail on the surface - they failed on joist spacings, bearer support and ventilation that were quietly cut to save a day.
Sub-frames built to spec
Joists at the right centres for the board, bearers supported off independent posts where the ground demands it, full ventilation beneath every panel.
Material chosen for use
Hardwood for warmth and grain, composite for low maintenance and stability - each with trade-offs we'll explain rather than gloss over.
Detailed properly
Hidden fixings where the deck will be looked at; recessed LED runs laid in at sub-frame stage; integrated planters and step nosings finished cleanly.
Why this works in Bagshot
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Bagshot decking projects share a pattern. The houses are well-loved, the kitchens have usually been extended, and the garden is the part that's been waiting its turn.
Plenty of Bagshot plots sit on free-draining heath sand - kind to foundations, less kind to lawns in a dry July. We design with both in mind.

Common questions
What Bagshot clients usually ask about decking.
Can you build over an existing patio or concrete?+
Often, yes - adjustable supports let us level a new deck over old paving without a full break-out. We assess the slab condition first.
Do you handle balustrades, steps and integrated planters?+
Yes. All built into the same sub-frame, finished in matching timber or composite. We prefer to design the whole platform as one piece rather than bolting extras on later.
Hardwood or composite - what do you usually recommend?+
Depends on use. Hardwood (iroko, balau) is warmer, more characterful and rewards a bit of seasonal oiling. Composite is virtually maintenance-free and dimensionally stable but gets warmer in direct sun. We'll talk through both against the aspect and your appetite for upkeep.
Will composite get hot in summer?+
More than hardwood - particularly darker colours in full sun. We advise on board colour and the deck's aspect during design to minimise it.
