Decking for gardens across Surrey
A fresh deck turns a corner of the garden into a calm place for everyday life. The view looks tidy and the surface feels ready from the first morning. We bring clear advice and a friendly plan that fits your home.
Why choose a deck
You gain a dry level space that works in all seasons. Breakfast in the sun or evening time with friends becomes easy. We shape the design to suit your light wind and privacy so the layout feels right.
Survey and design
We begin with a short chat and a visit or photos with sizes. We confirm how you want to use the area and we share options for colour grain and layout. You receive a simple fixed figure and a clear time line.
Structure and levels
Good structure keeps a deck solid and quiet underfoot. We set levels so water moves away from the house and we choose a subframe that suits the span and the ground. Steps and edges feel natural to walk.
Foundations and subframe
We prepare firm points that support the frame and we protect ground where needed. The subframe is set straight and square so boards line up clean and the finished look stays true.
Boards and patterns
Classic runs feel calm. Picture frames and breaker boards add a smart touch. We can blend smooth and grooved faces or use composite for easy care. Every cut is neat and every fixing sits clean.
Steps rail and privacy
We build steps that feel safe and comfortable and we add handrail where the site asks for it. Screen sections can soften wind and make a corner feel private without blocking daylight.
Lighting and power
Soft lighting helps evenings feel warm and safe. We can allow for power points that make cooking and work outside simple. Cables are hidden and the finish looks calm.
Timber or composite
Timber brings a classic look and takes stain well. Composite gives low care and steady colour. We explain cost care and feel so you can choose the balance that fits your life.
Care across the year
Most decks need a gentle wash and a light brush. Timber enjoys seasonal oil while composite stays simple. We leave easy notes and we can visit for care if you prefer.
Tidy work and clear handover
We protect lawns and paths and we keep tools neat. At the end we sweep rinse and walk through the space with you so every detail feels right.
Areas we cover
We work across Guildford Woking Epsom Reigate Dorking Cobham Esher and nearby towns. If you are close to the border send your postcode and two photos and we will confirm the plan.

Composite and timber decking designed for Surrey homes — low-maintenance, safe, and built on a solid subframe with correct drainage and ventilation. Send a photo and postcode for fast guidance and a fixed quote.
Why choose composite decking in Surrey over timber
Composite is highly stain and fade resistant, splinter-free, and needs minimal upkeep. It suits busy family gardens and shady spots where timber can struggle with algae and frequent oiling.
Do you install capped composite boards and hidden fasteners
Yes. We primarily use capped boards for colour stability and hidden clips for a clean finish and consistent gaps. We can add picture-frame borders and fascia trims for a premium edge detail.
Are composite decks slippery in winter or when wet
We specify boards with tested slip ratings and orient grooves and drainage correctly. Routine washing keeps biofilm off the surface so traction stays consistent year-round.
Can composite decking be used around hot tubs and pools in Surrey gardens
Yes—great choice. We reinforce the subframe for point loads, add ventilation clearances, specify moisture-tolerant joists, and include access hatches for service valves and electrics.
Which timber species do you recommend (softwood vs hardwood) for Surrey homes
Quality treated softwood is great value and quick to install. For premium looks and longevity, hardwoods like iroko or garapa perform excellently with proper oiling. We’ll bring samples so you can compare tone and grain.
How do you reduce algae growth and greying on timber decks
Good fall, airflow under the deck, and regular soft washes. Oiling with breathable products slows UV greying and helps water bead away. We provide a simple seasonal care plan.
Can you integrate lighting, steps and planters into a timber deck design
Absolutely—step lighting, post caps, recessed uplights, planters and seating. We route safe cable channels and leave accessible junctions for future maintenance.
What subframe materials do you use for Decking Surrey projects (timber, composite, steel)
We choose from treated timber, composite joists, or galvanised steel depending on span, height and exposure. All frames are levelled on pads or posts, fixed with corrosion-resistant screws and brackets.
How do you handle drainage and ventilation under a deck in clay-heavy Surrey soils
We ensure cross-flow ventilation, weed-suppressing membrane, and graded falls away from the house. Where needed we add linear threshold drains and inspection hatches.
Do I need planning permission for Decking Surrey installations near the house threshold
Most ground-level decks don’t need permission, but height, proximity to boundaries and conservation/listed status can change requirements. We confirm at survey and design thresholds to respect damp proof courses.
Deck Care & Maintenance — Frequently Asked Questions
How do you keep a composite deck looking new in Surrey weather
A few gentle washes a year with mild cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid solvent sealers and harsh wire brushes. Wipe spills quickly—especially oils and tannins—to prevent marks.
What ongoing care does timber decking require (oiling, cleaning, sanding)
Seasonal soft wash and re-oil as needed. We specify breathable oils; no thick varnish. Light sanding refreshes high-traffic areas. We leave you simple aftercare notes matched to your timber.
Can you refurbish an old deck instead of replacing it completely
Often yes. We assess the subframe, replace compromised joists, add new posts or pads where spans are long, and re-board with composite or timber. This keeps disruption and cost down.
How do I get a quote for Decking Surrey (composite or timber)
Send two photos and rough sizes or book a short site visit. We’ll recommend materials, show samples and provide a fixed, itemised price with a clear timeline.
