How we build hardwood decking in Hatfield
Yellow balau, ipe or iroko boards on treated softwood or hardwood joists. Standard build: 21mm yellow balau or 19mm ipe, secret-fix or countersunk, hardwood-rated screws. On Hatfield jobs we adjust for uniform new-build estates mean visual consistency across runs is important to keep frontages looking right.
Property mix locally: post-war new-town estates, university accommodation, and Old Hatfield's period cottages. Typical gardens: compact rectangular plots, mostly level, often shared with neighbour-owned fences. Postcodes we regularly service: AL9, AL10.
Why hardwood decking works here
- genuine 25-year plus service life on yellow balau or ipe when detailed properly
- richer natural colour and grain than any composite
- can be sanded and re-oiled indefinitely
Common Hatfield briefs
- → commissioned landscape schemes where the deck is a design feature, not just a floor
- → premium rear gardens where a natural silver-grey patina is the desired finish
