Every week, our team is out across St Marys Bay and the surrounding Folkestone & Hythe area working on timber decking projects of every size. From quick same-week jobs to multi-week transformations, we bring the same standard to all of them. DP Carpentry Property Services has built its name on consistency — and on the genuinely useful local advice we give before, during, and after every job.
Timber decking brings natural warmth and character to your garden. We build decking from quality pressure-treated softwood or premium hardwoods, with a solid framework designed to last.
Local Coverage — St Marys Bay & Surrounding Areas
We cover the CT20 postcode district for timber decking, roughly 4 miles from Folkestone, just 2 miles from Folkestone. Access is straightforward via the A259 and M20 J12, so we keep call-outs and material runs efficient.
Tailored to St Marys Bay Homes
Seafront properties along the Leas and Sandgate require corrosion-resistant fixings and materials
Access & logistics: Folkestone's steep streets and one-way systems around the Old Town require careful delivery planning. We use smaller vehicles and arrange parking in advance for town centre properties.
Seasonal tip: The Channel coast around Folkestone and Hythe is one of the sunniest spots in the UK but also exposed to strong south-westerly winds. External features need to be built to withstand these conditions.
Common Considerations for Folkestone & Hythe Properties
- Coastal humidity and salt air affecting material choices for kitchens and bathrooms
- Victorian properties in the Creative Quarter with non-standard dimensions and ornate original features
- Flood zone considerations for properties on Romney Marsh affecting ground-level installations

How We Work — Our Decking Process
Here is how a timber decking job in St Marys Bay 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. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
- 2
Decking Design
We create a design including dimensions, board direction, step positions, and any additional features like lighting or balustrades. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 3
Ground Preparation
The area is cleared, levelled, and prepared with a weed membrane. Concrete pads or adjustable pedestals are positioned for the framework. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a St Marys Bay job.
- 4
Framework Construction
A strong, level joist framework is constructed from treated timber, with proper spacing and ventilation for long-term durability. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
- 5
Board Laying
Decking boards are laid with consistent spacing, secured with screws or hidden clips, and trimmed neatly at all edges. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in St Marys Bay.
- 6
Finishing & Extras
Steps, fascia boards, balustrades, and lighting are installed. The deck is cleaned and any staining or oiling is applied. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a St Marys Bay job.
We work around your household in St Marys Bay, with dust sheets down and the area left clean each day.

Timber Decking in St Marys Bay — Your Questions Answered
What does a timber decking quote for St Marys Bay include?
Labour, materials, fixings, waste removal and VAT where it applies, all itemised. We price St Marys Bay jobs after seeing the property, so the figure accounts for access, parking around CT20 and the condition of what is already there.
Will timber decking suit an older property in St Marys Bay?
A lot of St Marys Bay housing is seafront apartment and Edwardian house, where walls are rarely square and floors rarely level. We scribe and pack rather than force a fit, which is why timber decking in older CT20 homes needs measuring on site rather than ordering off a plan.

As well as St Marys Bay itself, we regularly work in Folkestone, Hythe, Sandgate, Cheriton. It is all inside the Folkestone & Hythe District Council area, so there is no travel charge on top of your timber decking quote.
