Just bringing the decking materials in to the garden was a days work for 2 people on this large timber decking project
The original patio / paving was crumbling in places and not quite large enough for a good size table and chairs.
The frame is built and half way through laying the timber deck boards.
The completed project totalling approx 110sq m.
A view from the lower lawn. The space under the decking will be used for storage of logs.
The sweeping steps built over the original patio steps. On each balustrade post throughout the decking we have installed blue LED lights.
These steps have brick lights usually used in garden walls. The lower deck was built by the previous owner and we have cleaned re treated this to match the new decking.

A large curved timber deck in Newbury
This large curved deck has been built over an existing patio. The original patio was not the perfect base to work from as we used various size timbers to build th frame. In some areas we used 50mm x 100mm, 50mm x 50mm and also 25mm x 50mm battens fixed in to the concrete.
It would have been a huge job to remove the concrete and expensive. The deck runs along 2 sides of the property and we have laid the deck boards opposite where the deck meets the corner.
A view from the rear of the garden. The trellis to the right of the picture was also installed by FE Decking.
Decking in Purley on Thames, Berkshire.
This deck was constructed over an existing patio. We try to avoid taking out patios and walls where we can to save our customers money. The beauty of decking is that it can be constructed over existing ground surfaces.
2 Decks for Friar Homes in High Wycombe
We have built 2 identical decks on these brand new homes in High Wycombe.
Both properties were built with very high standards of workmanship. The decking worked extremely well on these houses as it was no different from being another room in the house.
The gardens had a slight gradient running right to left but Friar Homes built up the ground levels and compacted them before work started.
A raised deck in Newbury
This raised deck in Newbury wasbuilt for 2 reasons. The first being an extension of the kitchen and the second for our customers art classes. The decking overlooks woodlands, fields and gardens.

Decking walkway and steps in Hermitage
Once A Thompson builders had completed the extension we built the decking walkway and steps so that the extension could be signed off by the Building Inspector. We tried to match the existing decking as best we can.

The decking in the photo was constructed by mirror imaging the curved wall and built around the existing pergola.
Raised decking in Newbury
The patio here was on its last legs and was becoming dangerous. We have extended over the original wall giving our customers a really good size outdoor room.
We have installed balustrade around the outside of the decking and wide steps with hand rails to the lawn. The plan is to extend the decking across the remaining patio at a later date.
A first floor decking balcony in Cold Ash, Berkshire.
The balcony required planning permission, architect, engineer and us.
Once the holes are dug these are inspected by building control before the next stage can start.
Another inspection once the frame work is complete and the final inspection on completion.
All the timbers were stained a number of times by our customer. We were requested to wear slip on shoe covers and gloves at all times. Well worth it for the tea and biscuits.
