Decking
Love life in the outdoors
Smalley Ward specialises in the design and installation of high-quality Decking Projects which will enhance any space and add value to your property. We work with traditional Softwood and Hardwood Timber Decking, and also many of our Clients are now looking towards Composite Decking for its longevity and never-ending exciting design options.
Why Decking as an Option….
Simples, love life outdoors as often as we can, sitting on our own reading a book or enjoying a summer barbeque with friends. A well designed and thought out Deck is the perfect platform, at Smalley Ward we offer a full design and build service, we will listen to your thoughts and ideas throughout the planning process and also advise on the various material options which could be Timber or Composite. Whatever your requirement we can find the perfect solution.
A patio or terrace can be made from many materials – Brick, Stone, Precast Slabs or Ceramic Tiles, for example. Decking has many advantages over other materials:-
- Reduces excavation, Foundations, and retaining walls.
- Avoids wet construction, allowing quick and simple installation
- Reduces heavy labour and machinery.
- Simple changes of level are achieved with Ramps or Steps, and allow for Balustrades & Handrails.
- Added features such as Pergolas, Gazebos, Glass Rooms, Planters, and fixed seating can be installed over decking.
- You're left with a surface which is uniform and comfortable, and safe to walk on, extremely important if you have Babies, Toddlers, and the Elderly to consider.
Design...
At Smalley Ward, we pride ourselves on our abilities as Designers. After discussing a design brief with our clients, we go back to The Studio and work up exciting ideas that will lift your garden areas to an unbelievable level, that you will be extremely proud of and be able to enjoy for many years to come.
Installation...
Our installation Teams have all been trained up to a high standard and understand that our Clients expect nothing but a Premium Formula 1 finish. We constantly strive to exceed expectations at all times. One of the most important parts of the construction process is the Sub-Frame, we use treated timbers, galvanised joist hangers, and Damp Proof Tape to provide huge stability and give your new Decking longevity.
On Completion...
The working and surrounding areas will be left in pristine condition and our Project Manager will do a thorough walk through handover to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your finished decking.
