Composite Decking for 1930s semis built around the Tube extension in Edgware
Every composite decking job we run in Edgware starts from what fails locally: side-return access on edgware semis is genuinely narrow — long panels often have to come up over the garage. Our default spec — Trex or Q-Deck capped boards on 150×47mm treated joists at 300mm centres — is built around that, not around a generic price sheet. Recent work on High Street and Station Road. We orient jobs off Stonegrove Park. Burnt Oak Broadway rear yard. Hit-and-miss panels at 2.1m, commercial spec. Replaced damaged perimeter behind shop unit.
