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 Basingstoke
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Basingstoke 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.
Newer Basingstoke estate gardens are often smaller and squarer than they look - we plan layouts that don't waste a single useful metre.

Common questions
What Basingstoke clients usually ask about decking.
How long does a decking project take?+
Most decks run one to two weeks on site. Raised platforms with retaining or integrated lighting can stretch to three.
Will the deck last on damp ground?+
Yes - when the sub-frame is detailed for it. We lift the deck off the ground on adjustable supports, ventilate the perimeter and use ground-suitable joist material. Most failures we're called to fix come from sub-frames that weren't.
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.
