How we build composite decking in Barnet
Capped wood-polymer composite boards on treated softwood joists. Standard build: Trex or Q-Deck capped boards on 150×47mm treated joists at 300mm centres. On Barnet jobs we adjust for shared-boundary disputes are common on the older terraced streets, so neat post lines and clear ownership marks matter.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces, post-war semis and a band of larger Edwardian villas around Hadley Green. Typical gardens: narrow rear gardens with mature trees and London clay underfoot. Postcodes we regularly service: EN5, N20.
