Choosing materials
Composite or timber decking?
Both make a great garden deck. The right choice comes down to your budget, the look you want and how much upkeep you’re happy with.
| CompareAt a glance | NaturalTimber decking | Low maintenanceComposite decking |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Lower. The most affordable way to add a big deck. | Higher to buy, but little to spend on upkeep afterwards. |
| Look & feel | Real wood grain that weathers to a silver-grey unless oiled. | Consistent colour with a wood-effect textured finish. |
| Upkeep | Clean each spring and re-treat every year or two. | An occasional wash. No sanding, staining or sealing. |
| Rot & splinters | Pressure treatment resists rot, but boards can split and splinter as they age. | Won’t rot or splinter, which is kinder on bare feet. |
| Lifespan | Many years if looked after, commonly 10 to 15 or more for treated softwood. | Long lasting. Manufacturer warranties are often 10 to 25 years. |
| Best for | Budget-conscious projects and a natural, traditional look. | Family gardens, pets and anyone who wants low maintenance. |

How we build
What’s under the boards matters most
When a deck fails early it’s nearly always what’s underneath: joists sitting on wet soil, too few supports, or no room for water to drain away. That’s why we put as much care into the frame you won’t see as the boards you will.
Ground prepared first
Turf and weeds cleared, levels checked and a weed-suppressing membrane laid, so nothing grows up through the deck.
A solid, level frame
Treated joists and bearers set level and properly supported, with joist spacing to suit the boards being laid.
Posts set for raised decks
Where a deck sits higher, posts are set firmly to carry the frame, steps and balustrades.
Room to drain and breathe
Gaps between boards and around the edges let water drain and air move, which is what keeps a deck sound.
Neat finishing
Fascias, trims and steps finished cleanly, and the site swept and left tidy when we leave.

We had quotes from three other decking firms, but AA Bespoke’s was by far the most thorough, so we went with them. The finished work is superb, they kept us updated all the way from booking to the build, and they were polite throughout.
Our old, rotting deck was taken up and replaced with composite. The job was done in two days, the lads were polite and professional, and they left everything spotless. Would recommend without hesitation.
Our worn-out wooden decking was replaced with composite in two days. The team turned up on time, worked efficiently and left the garden immaculate.
A lovely pergola and deck in my garden, plus some fence alterations. Reliable, professional and easy to work with. Refreshing to find a company that does a great job with no hassle.
Meticulous and thorough. They gave good advice and useful suggestions from planning right through to completion, and I would happily use them again.
They built us a hot tub shelter quickly and to a great standard, with no fuss at all. Everything we wanted and more.

How much does decking cost in Nottingham?
It depends mainly on the size of the deck, the material (treated timber, hardwood or composite), how high it sits off the ground, how much groundwork is needed, access to the garden and any extras such as steps, balustrades, lighting or a pergola. Composite boards cost more to buy than treated timber but need far less upkeep.
Rather than guess from a price list, we measure up and give you a free, written quote that shows exactly what is included.
Should I choose composite or timber decking?
Timber is the lower-cost option and has a natural look, but it needs cleaning and re-treating every year or two to stay at its best. Composite costs more up front, never needs staining or sealing and won’t rot or splinter, so it suits busy households who would rather use the deck than maintain it.
We install both and will talk you through the pros and cons for your garden on the site visit. See our composite decking and timber decking pages for more detail.
Do I need planning permission for decking?
In England most garden decking is permitted development, so planning permission isn’t needed as long as the deck is no more than 30cm above the ground and, together with any extensions and outbuildings, covers no more than half of the garden. Raised decks, listed buildings, flats and some conservation areas can need permission.
We’ll flag anything like this when we see your garden, and the Planning Portal has the official guidance.
How long does it take to install a deck?
Most garden decks take a few days from ground preparation to the last board, while larger builds with steps, balustrades or a pergola take longer. As an example, two of our recent Google reviewers had tired timber decks taken up and replaced with composite in two days. We’ll give you a realistic timescale with your quote.
Can you repair my existing decking instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the frame underneath is sound, loose or split boards, popped screws, wobbly handrails and small rotten sections can usually be repaired. If the joists are rotten or the whole deck bounces, a new frame or a full replacement is normally better value in the long run. We’ll look underneath and tell you honestly which makes sense. More on our decking repairs page.
Will you take away my old decking?
Yes. We can lift and dispose of an old deck and clear the area before building the new one, and we list it on your quote so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Do you build steps, balustrades and pergolas as well?
Yes. Alongside the deck itself we build steps and fascias, handrails and balustrades, built-in seating and planters, pergolas, gazebos and hot tub shelters, and we can add low-voltage deck lighting. As a joinery business we’re happy to design something bespoke around your garden.
