Expert Decking Installation in Earl Shilton, Leicestershire

You’ve got fantastic options when it comes to garden decking! We primarily offer two main types to suit different styles and budgets:

• Classic Timber Decking: This is a firm favourite, known for its natural beauty and warmth. Timber decking gives your garden a traditional, inviting feel and can be stained or painted to match your outdoor aesthetic. It does need a bit of upkeep, like regular cleaning and re-treating, to keep it looking its best and prevent rot.
• Modern Composite Decking: If you’re after something really low-maintenance, composite decking is a game-changer. Made from a mix of wood fibres and recycled plastics, it's incredibly durable, resistant to rot, splinters, and fading. It comes in a range of colours and textures that mimic real wood, but you won’t ever need to stain or seal it – just a quick clean keeps it looking fresh year-round. It's a fantastic choice for busy families or anyone wanting a hassle-free outdoor living space.
  We’re happy to chat through the pros and cons of each to help you pick the perfect one for your Leicester garden transformation.

A new deck isn't just an addition; it's an upgrade to your lifestyle. It effectively extends your indoor living area outdoors, giving you a dedicated, comfortable space for so many things. Imagine enjoying breakfast outside on a sunny morning, hosting summer barbecues without worrying about muddy grass, or simply unwinding with a book. Decking adds real value and appeal to your home, making your garden more usable and enjoyable, whatever the season. It’s truly about enhancing your outdoor living experience.

Our professional installers follow a meticulous process to make sure your decking is built to last and looks fantastic. It all starts with a visit to your Leicester home to understand your vision and measure up. Once we agree on the design and materials, we’ll take care of everything:

1. Ground Preparation: We’ll clear the area and prepare a solid, level base, making sure any necessary drainage is in place.
2. Robust Framework: A strong, stable sub-frame is absolutely crucial. We construct this using high-quality treated timber that resists rot and ensures your deck remains solid and safe for years.
3. Decking Board Installation: We carefully lay your chosen timber or composite decking boards, making sure they’re perfectly aligned and securely fixed.
4. Finishing Touches: This includes adding steps, railings, or any other features you’ve chosen, leaving you with a beautifully finished outdoor space ready to enjoy.
   Our expert team handles every step, so you don't have to lift a finger!

Absolutely! We offer comprehensive decking services beyond just new installations. If your current deck in Leicester is looking a bit tired, has wobbly boards, or needs some general TLC, our team can help. We can carry out decking repair work, replacing damaged boards, fixing unstable sections, and making sure your existing deck is safe and looks great again. We can also advise on the best ways to maintain your deck to prolong its life and keep it looking its best.

For most residential garden decking projects in Leicester, you typically won't need planning permission, especially if the deck is less than 30cm (1 foot) off the ground and doesn't cover more than 50% of your garden area (including other outbuildings). However, there are exceptions, especially if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the decking significantly impacts your neighbours. We recommend checking with Leicester City Council or the relevant local authority just to be sure, and we’re happy to offer guidance on this during our initial chat.
