Serving Faversham & Canterbury
We cover the ME13 postcode district for decking installation, roughly 9 miles from Canterbury, just 1 miles from Ospringe. Access is straightforward via the A2 and M2 J6, so we keep call-outs and material runs efficient.
Our Decking Installation Scope of Work
- Softwood and composite decking
- Raised and ground-level designs
- Steps, balustrades, and lighting
- Non-slip surface options
- Framework and sub-structure included
Tailored to Faversham Homes
Sittingbourne's Victorian terraces and modern estates offer contrasting requirements we're experienced with
Access & logistics: Sheppey properties are accessed via the Kingsferry Bridge — we plan deliveries to avoid bridge-lift closures and peak traffic times on the A249.
Seasonal tip: The Swale marshes create a microclimate with higher humidity than inland Kent. We recommend treated timber and moisture-resistant MDF for all carpentry work in properties near the coast or estuary.
Common Considerations for Swale Properties
- Heritage buildings in Faversham with strict conservation requirements
- Island properties on Sheppey with salt air and higher moisture levels
- Rural farmhouse conversions with non-standard structures and thick walls
Local knowledge isn't just about knowing the postcode — it's about knowing the parking restrictions near Faversham Creek, the merchant suppliers worth using, and the small details that catch out trades from outside Swale. We bring all of that to every job.

How We Work — Our Decking Process
Here is how a decking installation job in Faversham actually runs, from first visit to final tidy-up:
- 1
Garden Survey
We visit your garden, assess the ground conditions, and discuss your requirements — size, shape, levels, and material preference. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 2
Decking Design
We create a design including dimensions, board direction, step positions, and any additional features like lighting or balustrades. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
- 3
Ground Preparation
The area is cleared, levelled, and prepared with a weed membrane. Concrete pads or adjustable pedestals are positioned for the framework. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Faversham.
- 4
Framework Construction
A strong, level joist framework is constructed from treated timber, with proper spacing and ventilation for long-term durability. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 5
Board Laying
Decking boards are laid with consistent spacing, secured with screws or hidden clips, and trimmed neatly at all edges. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Faversham job.
- 6
Finishing & Extras
Steps, fascia boards, balustrades, and lighting are installed. The deck is cleaned and any staining or oiling is applied. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Faversham.
One team sees the decking installation work through in Faversham, so there is always someone accountable.

FAQs From Real Customers
Which streets and villages near Faversham do you cover?
As well as Faversham itself, we regularly work in Ospringe, Teynham. It is all inside the Swale Borough Council area, so there is no travel charge on top of your decking installation quote.
Will decking installation suit an older property in Faversham?
A lot of Faversham housing is medieval timber-frame and Georgian townhouse, where walls are rarely square and floors rarely level. We scribe and pack rather than force a fit, which is why decking installation in older ME13 homes needs measuring on site rather than ordering off a plan.
What does a decking installation quote for Faversham include?
Labour, materials, fixings, waste removal and VAT where it applies, all itemised. We price Faversham jobs after seeing the property, so the figure accounts for access, parking around ME13 and the condition of what is already there.
Is composite or timber decking better in Faversham?
Composite is lower maintenance and longer-lasting, while timber is more affordable and has a natural feel. We'll discuss the pros and cons of each during your free consultation.
How long does decking last in Faversham?
Timber decking lasts 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance. Composite decking can last 25 years or more with virtually no upkeep beyond occasional cleaning.
Do I need planning permission for decking in Faversham?
Most decking under 30cm above ground level doesn't require planning permission. Raised decking, or decking covering more than 50% of your garden, may need approval — we'll advise you.
