How we build composite decking in Enfield
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 Enfield jobs we adjust for high winds funnelled down the lea valley regularly knock over weaker panel fences.
Property mix locally: interwar semis, 1960s estates and pockets of Georgian housing around Forty Hill. Typical gardens: medium-depth gardens that often back onto alleyways — access is the deciding factor. Postcodes we regularly service: EN1, EN2, EN3.
