Why Choose Ace Fencing Services for Your Decking?

We’re not just a fencing company that offers decking on the side. Decking installation is a core part of what we do, and our team brings the same precision to every deck that we bring to our fencing, patio, and landscaping services.

Skilled, reliable Plymouth-based decking fitters – we know the city, the soil conditions, and the weather. Evaluating local expertise is important when selecting a garden decking fitter, and our record across Plymouth speaks for itself.

High-quality materials sourced from trusted suppliers – pressure-treated timber and marine-grade fixings prevent premature rust and corrosion, which matters in a coastal location like Plymouth.

Competitive pricing with transparent quotes – comprehensive quotations that itemise materials and the project timeline, so there are no surprise costs for railings, stairs, or waste removal.

Fast communication and project updates – you’ll know what’s happening and when throughout your decking project.

Domestic and commercial projects – from small residential patios to larger commercial outdoor areas, we carry out quality work at every scale.

Understanding of Devon’s climate – Plymouth’s climate necessitates proper drainage and ground conditions. We build every deck with ventilation, moisture management, and long-term durability in mind.

Types of Decking We Install

We fit a range of decking types to suit different budgets, garden conditions, and personal preferences. Material selection is crucial for decking in Plymouth due to coastal conditions; here’s what we offer.

Timber Decking

Traditional timber decking remains a popular, cost-effective choice. This makes wood an accessible option for homeowners who want a natural look without a large upfront investment. It does require regular maintenance; timber decking should be cleaned and sealed annually for longevity, and decking boards should be inspected for rot every year. In Plymouth’s damp climate, using pressure-treated softwood and stainless steel fixings is essential.

Composite Decking

Composite decking is made from recycled wood fibres and plastic, creating a durable, long-lasting board that resists moisture, fading, and splintering. Good-quality composite decking lasts 25–30 years with proper care, far outlasting most timber alternatives.

Composite decking requires far less maintenance than timber: no annual staining or sealing, just an occasional wash. Composite decking costs between £2,800 and £6,000 on average depending on deck size and specification, but the reduced upkeep makes it the best option for busy homeowners who want a modern appearance without ongoing effort.

Raised Decking

Plymouth’s gardens may have sloping or uneven ground, and raised decking is the ideal solution. Decking can level uneven ground and create usable outdoor space where a standard patio simply wouldn’t work. Plymouth gardens often require special structural framing for multi-tiered decking, and raised decks and multi-level frameworks must comply with structural safety standards.

Planning permission may be required for raised decking platforms in Plymouth – particularly if the platform sits more than 300 mm above ground level or is near a property boundary. We handle all the guidance on this during your design consultation.

Decking for Patios & Seating Areas

Not every project needs to be large. We install compact decking areas perfect for outdoor dining, garden seating, or creating a defined entertaining zone. These can integrate with existing patio surfaces, garden gates, or landscaping features to form a cohesive outdoor space that adds real value to your property.

Our Decking Installation Process

From first contact to final inspection, here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Free site visit and accurate measurements

We visit your property to assess ground conditions, slope, drainage, and access. This ensures your quote reflects the actual job, not guesswork.

Step 2: Design consultation and material selection

We discuss layout ideas, board direction, colour, and material choice. Whether you want diagonal boards, a border detail, or a simple clean plan, we’ll arrange a design that works for your garden and budget.

Step 3: Professional ground preparation

Excavation, vegetation removal, weed membrane, and a solid sub-base. Deck installation requires proper ventilation and moisture management, so we get this right from the start.

Step 4: Decking frame construction

Joists, bearers, and posts installed at correct spacings with pressure-treated timber. For raised decking, posts are concreted in, and the frame is built to be completely solid and level.

Step 5: Precise board installation

Boards laid with correct drainage gaps, aligned properly, and secured with appropriate fixings (hidden clips or stainless steel screws depending on the material).

Step 6: Finishing touches

Steps, railings, treatment, and any custom features completed to a high standard.

Step 7: Final inspection and complete site cleanup

We check every fixing, ensure all edges are safe, and leave your garden tidy.

Most decking installations take 1–3 days to complete. Raised decks with stairs and balustrades may take 3–5 days depending on complexity.

Decking Repairs & Upgrades

Already have a deck that’s seen better days? We provide comprehensive repair and upgrade services:

Individual board replacement – swap out damaged, rotting, or warped boards without replacing the entire surface.

Frame strengthening and structural improvements – reinforce joists, replace rotten bearers, add additional support where the substructure has weakened.

Re-levelling – correct sagging or uneven sections for safety and proper drainage.

Professional treatment and sealing – restore weather protection on timber decking to extend its lifespan.

Adding steps, railings, or safety features – upgrade an older deck to meet current safety standards or improve access.

Upgrade from timber to composite – if your old timber deck needs constant maintenance, we can replace the surface with composite decking that lasts 25–30 years with proper maintenance, keeping your existing frame if it’s structurally sound.

FAQs

How much does garden decking cost in Plymouth?

Costs depend on materials, deck size, and complexity. Basic timber boards start at around £15 per square metre, while higher-end materials can reach £80 per square metre or more. Composite decking costs between £2,800 and £6,000 on average. As a guide, garden decking installation in Plymouth averages around £2,280 for a mid-sized softwood or entry-level composite deck.

Should I choose timber or composite decking?

Timber suits tighter budgets and homeowners who prefer a natural wood aesthetic. It’s cost-effective upfront but needs annual cleaning, sealing, and rot inspection. Composite decking is the better long-term investment: composite decking typically lasts 25–30 years with proper installation, requires minimal upkeep, and handles Plymouth’s wet, salty air better than untreated wood. If low maintenance and durability are your priority, composite is usually the best option. Decking materials must be chosen based on garden conditions and personal preferences; we’ll help you decide during your design consultation.

How long does decking installation take?

Installation of decking typically takes 1–3 days for a standard ground-level project. Raised decks, multi-level layouts, or projects requiring extensive ground preparation may take 3–5 days. Weather can occasionally cause delays in Plymouth, but we plan around forecasts and keep you updated throughout.

Do you install raised decking?

Yes. Raised decking is one of our specialities and is ideal for Plymouth’s many sloped and uneven gardens. We build raised platforms with proper structural framing, concreted posts, and compliant guard rails. Most garden decking projects do not require planning permission unless raised significantly; if your deck exceeds 300 mm above ground level, we’ll advise on whether planning consent is needed.

Can you design custom decking layouts?

Absolutely. We offer bespoke decking design including diagonal board patterns, contrasting border tones, multi-level layouts, and integration with existing features like patios, paving, pergolas, or garden steps. We discuss all your ideas during the design consultation and create a layout that makes the most of your available space.
