Professional Decking Installation Services in North London

Decking Services Commonly Requested by Our Clients

Floating deck

Simple but attractive decking that is not attached to a building and does not require a staircase. It can also be built around a tree without damaging its roots. A "freestanding" decking can provide a platform for garden furniture, a grill and other outdoor utilities.

Raised decking

A great choice to make the most of your outdoor space and take advantage of otherwise unusable garden slopes. Our North London decking fitters will custom-build a unique feature that will ease the passage to your garden.

Terraced decking

Most likely the best way to utilise a large roof area. A roof decking is a great place to invite friends over and spend quality time outside the house.

Decking stairs

The easiest way to connect decks on different levels and ensure easy access to your garden. A staircase built from decking boards also looks aesthetically pleasing and adds to your overall garden landscape.

Types of Deckings We Can Install For You

Softwood decking

Softwood deckings are popular in modern homes due to their natural look, high durability and affordable cost.

Softwood timber is easy to work with and install, and if taken care of properly, it can last up to 15 years.

Softwood decking boards are manufactured from fast-growing evergreen and conifer trees, making them the number one choice for many environmentally conscious homeowners.

Hardwood decking

Hardwood decking boards are made of slow-growing trees such as oak and ash, but the most durable options are produced from exotic tropical trees like teak, ipe, iroko and cumaru.

Hardwood timber is harder to manufacture, making it more expensive compared to softwood.

Hardwood decking boards are flame-resistant, easy to clean and can last up to 20 years when regularly maintained.

Composite decking

Composite decking boards have become quite popular lately as the best wood decking alternative on the market. They are made from recycled, durable polymer plastic and wood chippings.

The innovative manufacturing technology makes composite boards anti-slippery, water, fungi and mould-resistant.

Composite decking is low maintenance, a hassle-free option that only needs to be pressure-washed occasionally. No oiling and painting are required every other year, as the material is UV-protected from the factory and can last up to 25 years.

Their eco-friendly nature, combined with the longer lifespan, comes at a much higher price than wood decking boards.

Other Decking Services We Can Help You With 

Decking repairs and restoration: Repairing your garden decking is the most practical solution when a single or a few worn-out decking boards need renewing. It's much cheaper than replacing the entire feature, and at the same time, our experts will prolong its life, and you won't even notice which part of the decking we've restored for you.

Decking painting: Painting your deck is an excellent idea if you would like to change the colour of the wood entirely. The paint protects your decking from the sun's UV related fading and reduces moisture which naturally helps fight mould and mildew. Besides, painted deckings are much easier to maintain.

Decking staining: Staining is a great way to enhance the appearance of your decking, highlight and seal the beautiful wood grain against both moisture and intrusion by infesting pests.

Stain is easy to apply and keeps moisture out, and it is a much more budget-friendly alternative than deck painting.

Deck oiling Provides UV protection and a water-resistant, breathable finish that preserves your decking from within. Oils will not also crack or peel from the surface of the wood and, when well maintained, reduce mould and algae to a minimum.

Deck cleaning: Pressure washing your decking removes the accumulated dust, dirt and debris and keeps the wood boards' beautiful appearance. Regular jet cleaning also makes your deck look brand new and prolongs the life of the timber.
