How we build composite decking in Stevenage
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 Stevenage jobs we adjust for shared-with-neighbour fence runs are the norm — quotes need to cover boundary checks first.
Property mix locally: post-war planned housing across Chells, Shephall and Bedwell, plus older properties in Stevenage Old Town. Typical gardens: modest rectangular plots, typically flat, with rear access alleyways on the planned estates. Postcodes we regularly service: SG1, SG2.
