Decking & timber in Folkestone
A harbour town undergoing creative regeneration — the old town is increasingly design-conscious, and the residential areas are following.
Decking & timber in Folkestone
Decking extends the living space — a level platform off a kitchen door, a raised viewing point, a transition between house and garden. We build in hardwood and composite on galvanised steel or timber subframes, with fixings hidden and boards that stay level.
Our process
- 01
Site survey — check levels, access, ground conditions and proximity to the house DPC.
- 02
Specification — choose board material and profile, agree layout, balustrade and lighting.
- 03
Subframe — install posts, bearers and joists at correct centres, level and squared.
- 04
Boarding — fix boards with hidden clips, cut to line, finish edges cleanly.
- 05
Balustrades, lighting and handover — fit any railings, integrate lighting, hand over care notes.
Materials we use
- Hardwood (iroko, balau, oak)
- Composite boards (Millboard, Trex, similar)
- Galvanised steel subframes
- Treated softwood subframes
- Stainless steel and hidden clip fixings
Typical timeline
One to three weeks on site depending on size, access and complexity.
About Folkestone
Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the town centre, larger detached properties on the slopes above. Chalk subsoil and coastal exposure shape construction.
At the edge of our coverage — we take projects here when the brief is right.
Common questions
Hardwood weathers to silver and has a natural warmth; it needs periodic oiling if you want to keep the original colour. Composite requires no maintenance and stays consistent. Walk on both before deciding.
