Composite decking in County Durham
From terraced yards in the old pit villages to hillside gardens up towards Consett, we survey the ground first and build a deck that suits it.
Ground notes
What we plan for in County Durham
Clay that holds water
A lot of County Durham sits on heavy clay. We set posts on proper footings, leave room for air under the frame and give the deck a slight fall, so it doesn't sit wet.
Slopes and steps
Gardens in places like Stanley and Consett often drop away from the house. A raised frame with steps turns a slope into a level spot to sit.
Back lanes
Terraced homes in towns like Seaham, Peterlee and Crook often mean materials come through a back gate. We plan the delivery round that.

Things people ask us
Do you cover the Durham Dales?
We cover most of County Durham. For the furthest dales villages, put your postcode in and we'll tell you straight away if we can reach you.
My garden is all clay. Is that a problem?
Not if the frame is built for it. We use proper footings and keep air moving under the deck so the frame stays dry.
