Decking

Decking in Staines-upon-Thames

Decking in Staines-upon-Thames can make good use of a garden with a level change, or a plot where a flat slab patio would not suit. We design and build composite and timber decks at ground level, raised or across several tiers, on a ventilated sub-frame built to keep the surface sound. Below is what to sort out first, how the build runs and what we need for a quote.

Homes in Staines-upon-Thames

Staines-upon-Thames sits on the River Thames, with Victorian terraces near the centre and twentieth-century family homes, some close to the river. Whatever the age of your house, the deck needs air moving under it and a slight fall so rainwater runs off instead of sitting on the boards. For a terrace, tell us how materials would get through to the garden, as access shapes the quote and how the work runs. The photo here shows a brick front wall with iron railings we finished on a Victorian property on another job, and the review beside it praises our team for being professional, timely and very tidy.

Our finished brick front wall with iron railings on a Victorian property

“I would highly recommend M&R Property & Paving Services. Mark, Dan and the team were professional, timely and extremely tidy throughout the project, which was to replace the old wooden panelling on the front of my property and replace with new plastic panelling. Their eye to detail was incredible and I will be using them again in the New Year for future projects.”

What matters for decking in Staines-upon-Thames

We start from the shape of your garden. A ground-level platform suits a flat plot, a raised deck lifts the usable area where the ground sits awkwardly, and a multi-tier design gives you more than a single level. Once the type and height are agreed, we build the sub-frame with airflow beneath it and a slight fall, then fix the boards.

  • Send the deck size, timber or composite choice, rough height and a few photos, and we confirm the scope from those.
  • Joists are spaced properly and the frame stands on adjustable pedestals or treated bearers, clear of the ground.
  • Where the deck is raised, we build the steps and balustrades as part of the job.
  • Disruption depends on ground preparation, deliveries, waste removal, weather and access, so we confirm the work route after seeing the job.

Questions about decking in Staines-upon-Thames

Will a raised deck behind my house need planning permission?

It can. Decking more than 30 centimetres off the ground needs planning permission, so settle the height you want early and tell us when you ask for a price.

Can the deck go around a tree we want to keep?

Yes. We cut decks around existing trees, and we plan where the boards meet a patio, lawn or path so the garden works as a whole.
