How we build composite decking in Hertford
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 Hertford jobs we adjust for conservation areas and listed buildings around the castle restrict heights and finishes.
Property mix locally: Georgian and Victorian townhouses in the centre, with newer estates on the Bengeo and Sele Farm sides. Typical gardens: long, sloping plots dropping toward the River Lea — terracing and retaining work are often part of the job. Postcodes we regularly service: SG13, SG14.
Why composite decking works here
- no annual maintenance beyond a wash-down
- capped boards resist stains and don't fade to grey the way softwood does
- grooved surface keeps grip in wet weather
Common Hertford briefs
