Decking · Eversley, Hampshire
Decking in Eversley.
We design and build decking for Eversley families - the kind of work where the detail beneath the surface matters as much as the finish on top.

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 Eversley
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Most of our decking work in Eversley comes from the same kind of conversation - a family that's been in the house long enough to know what they want it to do, and a garden that hasn't quite kept up.
Eversley plots are often longer than they are wide, with mature trees and old hedge lines worth keeping. We design with both in the picture from day one.

Common questions
What Eversley clients usually ask about decking.
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.
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.
