How we build composite decking in Borehamwood
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 Borehamwood jobs we adjust for limited rear access on the older estates means materials usually have to come through the house.
Property mix locally: mix of post-war terraces, 1960s low-rise estates and new-build apartments near the studios. Typical gardens: small to mid-size rear plots, often south-facing on the Elstree side. Postcodes we regularly service: WD6.
