Timber and Composite Decking Options

Choosing the right material is the first step to creating your perfect outdoor space. As professional deck installers, we offer a wide range of high-quality materials to suit your budget and landscaping vision.Traditional Timber DeckingFor a classic, natural look, timber decking remains a highly popular choice. We source premium treated softwood and hardwood boards that blend seamlessly into traditional garden settings. With regular maintenance and staining, a timber deck offers exceptional durability and a warm, organic feel.Low-Maintenance Composite DeckingIf you prefer a modern finish with minimal upkeep, composite decking is the ideal solution. Made from a blend of wood fibres and recycled plastics, composite boards will not splinter, warp, or rot. They are highly slip-resistant and available in a wide variety of colours, giving you a pristine patio decking area that looks stunning year after year.

Do I need planning permission for garden decking?

This is one of the most common questions we hear from customers planning a garden makeover. In the UK, you generally do not need planning permission for a new deck, provided it meets certain criteria.Your decking will usually fall under permitted development if it is no more than 30cm above the original ground level. Additionally, the deck, along with any extensions or outbuildings, must not cover more than 50% of your total garden area. If your property is a listed building or located in a conservation area, stricter rules apply.During our initial consultation, our Felixstowe landscaping team will assess your space and advise you on any potential compliance requirements, ensuring your project proceeds without any legal or regulatory headaches.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional decking installation services in Felixstowe & Suffolk and across Suffolk.

Do I need planning permission for a new deck in Felixstowe?

+

In most cases, you don't need planning permission for decking as long as it isn't more than 300mm above the ground and doesn't cover more than 50% of your garden space. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, different rules may apply. We can advise you on this during our site visit.

Which is better: Timber or Composite decking?

+

It depends on your priorities. Timber is beautiful and generally more affordable upfront, but it requires regular oiling or staining. Composite decking is made from a mix of wood fibre and plastic; it’s more expensive initially but won't rot, warp, or need painting. Given the salty air in Felixstowe, many of our clients find composite to be a better long-term investment.

How long does a typical decking installation take?

+

Most domestic decking projects are completed within 3 to 5 days, depending on the size and complexity. We always give you a clear timeline before we start so you can plan your week accordingly.

Can you build a deck over an old patio?

+

Yes, we can often build a subframe over existing paving, provided the drainage is adequate. This is a great way to refresh a tired-looking garden without the cost of ripping up old concrete or stone.

How do I maintain my new deck?

+

For timber, we recommend a thorough clean and a fresh coat of high-quality oil once a year. For composite, a simple wash with a stiff brush and warm soapy water twice a year is usually enough to keep it looking brand new.

Which is better for a Felixstowe garden: timber or composite decking?

+

It depends on your priorities. Timber is beautiful and generally cheaper upfront, but it requires annual maintenance like oiling or staining to protect it from the salty coastal air. Composite decking has a higher initial cost but is incredibly durable, doesn't rot, and stays looking new with just a quick wash. For many of our clients in Suffolk, composite is the preferred choice for a "fit and forget" solution.

Do I need planning permission for a new deck?

+

In most cases, you don't need planning permission if the deck is no more than 30cm above the ground and doesn't cover more than 50% of your garden area. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building in places like Woodbridge or Dedham, different rules might apply. We can help you check these regulations before we start any work to make sure everything is above board.

How long does a professional deck installation take?

+

Most standard garden decks take between 2 to 5 days to complete, depending on the size and the complexity of the groundworks. If we are building a multi-level deck with integrated lighting and glass balustrades, it may take a little longer. We always give you a clear timeline before we start so you know exactly when you can start planning your first garden party.

Can you repair or extend my existing deck?

+

Yes, we offer professional deck repair services. If your boards are rotting or the frame feels bouncy, we can assess whether it is safe to repair or if a replacement is needed. We can also seamlessly extend existing decks to give you more space, matching the materials as closely as possible to your current setup.
