1. What is the difference between traditional timber and composite decking, and which should I choose?
Traditional timber offers a natural, classic aesthetic but requires regular staining and sealing to prevent rot and fading. Composite decking is manufactured from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics; it is highly durable, slip-resistant, and requires practically zero maintenance, making it an excellent, hassle-free long-term investment.

2. Can you custom-design a pergola to fit an oddly shaped patio or specific garden layout?
Absolutely. We don't rely on generic, flat-pack kits. Our expert carpentry team designs and builds completely bespoke pergolas tailored precisely to your space. This maximizes your usable area and ensures the structure perfectly complements your home's existing architecture and landscape.

3. Do I need planning permission to install decking or a pergola in my garden?
In most cases, decking and pergolas fall under "Permitted Development" in the UK and do not require formal planning permission, provided they meet certain height and size criteria (e.g., decking must generally be no more than 30cm above the ground). We will evaluate your specific site and advise you on compliance before any construction begins.
