How we build composite decking in Hackney
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 Hackney jobs we adjust for many boundaries are shared with three or four neighbours on victorian back-to-backs — clear ownership marks matter.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces across Stoke Newington and De Beauvoir, plus post-war estates around Homerton and London Fields. Typical gardens: small rear gardens with mature planting; several plots border the Regent's Canal or Hackney Marshes. Postcodes we regularly service: E5, E8, E9, N1, N16.
