Decking
Create the perfect outdoor entertaining area with professionally installed decking, built to withstand the Devon weather.
9 services available across Exeter and surrounding areas.

We're a general handyman service that turns its hand to things. We're not specialist installers.
We repair, adjust and extend decking, and we build simple ground-level decks. Anything raised or structural is a different job.

Not sure which yours is? Describe the job and we will tell you
Decking extends your living space into the garden, but only if it's built right. Poor drainage leads to rot, inadequate framing causes bounce and flex, and cheap materials deteriorate quickly in Devon's wet climate. We build decking that lasts - with proper foundations, ventilation underneath, and quality materials. Whether you want a simple platform or a multi-level entertainment area with built-in seating, we'll make it happen.

Common Questions About Decking
Can you repair rather than replace?
Often yes - replacing damaged sections while keeping sound timber. We assess what's viable. Sometimes new frame is more cost-effective.
How long until I can use it?
Straight away for walking on. Wait 4-6 weeks before staining if using treatment to soak in. Oiling can be done sooner.
How do I know if it's just repair or something bigger?
We check properly and give honest assessment. What looks like a simple repair sometimes reveals bigger issues - better to know.
Do I need a balustrade?
Legally required on decks over 600mm high. Advisable for safety and aesthetics on any raised deck, especially with children around.
How long before I can use the deck?
Usually 24 hours for foot traffic, 48 for furniture. Depends on weather and oil type. We'll advise.
What about the frame?
Composite boards on proper timber or aluminium frame. The frame is as important as the boards - we don't cut corners underneath.
