Replace your existing deck

Ensure your safety and upgrade your property

If your existing deck is showing its age, replacing it can be about much more than improving its appearance. An ageing deck can become a safety concern, while advances in materials and construction mean that a replacement built today can offer significantly greater durability and longevity, as well as upgrade your property.

Ensure your outdoor space is safe

As decking ages, deterioration isn’t always confined to what you can see. Boards, steps, joists and other structural components can deteriorate through prolonged exposure to moisture and the elements. Eventually, a weakened board or step can give way under someone’s weight, while deterioration to the structure beneath can affect the stability of the deck as a whole.

Soft or rotten boards, excessive movement, loose components, unstable steps or visible decay can all indicate that a deck requires closer attention. If an existing deck is approaching the end of its useful life, replacement can therefore be as much about safety as appearance.

Benefit from high quality and attractive modern materials and build techniques

Modern deck construction techniques have evolved from years of refinement in the USA and Scandinavia. Today, there is an established best-practice which simply didn’t exist in years gone by. These practices are gradually becoming acknowledged in the UK and form the foundation of our own approach, incorporating better drainage, ventilation and protection of the supporting structure from moisture.

Recent advancements in materials are also a game changer. Today’s range of high-quality and attractive composite boards offer a solution that is now aesthetically beautiful, as well as highly durable. Thermally and chemically modified timbers, also offer comparable durability to modern composite boards, with some timber decking boards now having warranties of up to 50 years.

Make a long-term investment in your home

Replacing an existing deck is an opportunity to improve your property’s outdoor space rather than simply recreate what was there before.

The size, layout, levels, materials and relationship between the deck, house and garden can all be reconsidered. An area that has gradually become tired or underused can become somewhere that you, as well as the future owners of your property, will enjoy using.

By combining a better design with more durable materials and modern construction techniques, your investment will create a high-quality outdoor living space for decades to come.
