Building Strong Foundations
A strong deck starts with solid foundations. We put concrete pads in the right places and make sure water drains away properly. Everything is perfectly level.
Installing Your Deck Boards
We fit each board carefully to prevent splitting and create smooth surfaces. We leave small gaps between boards so water can drain away.
Final Completion and Handover
Upon completion, we conduct a thorough final inspection ensuring everything meets our high standards. We'll walk you through your new deck, explain maintenance requirements, and provide care instructions for long-lasting beauty.
Best Decking Materials for Swansea's Coastal Climate
The right material makes your deck last longer and look better. Living near the coast means dealing with salt air, wind, and rain. We'll help you choose the perfect material for your budget and needs.
Pressure-Treated Softwood
This is the most popular choice for decking. The wood is treated to resist rot and insects for 15 years. It's affordable and easy to work with. You'll need to stain or seal it once a year to keep it looking good.
Hardwood Decking
Premium woods like oak naturally resist weather damage. They cost more upfront but last 25+ years with very little maintenance. We take extra care when cutting and fitting hardwood to prevent splitting. Perfect for customers who want the best.
Thermowood (Heat-Treated Timber)
This is wood that's been heat-treated to make it more stable and weather-resistant. No chemicals are used, just high heat. It absorbs less water than normal wood and keeps its natural look. Great for people who want an eco-friendly option.
Composite Decking
Made from recycled wood and plastic, composite decking looks like real wood but never needs staining. It won't rot, split, or fade. We use special clips to fix it properly and allow for expansion in hot weather. Comes with a 25-year warranty.
PVC and Aluminium Systems
PVC decking is completely waterproof and never needs maintenance. Aluminium decking is very strong and fire-resistant. Both options cost more but last the longest. We know how to install these materials properly so they expand and contract safely with temperature changes.
Coastal Decking Construction Expertise Swansea
Building decks near the coast requires special knowledge and techniques. Salt air, strong winds, and heavy rain can damage poorly built decks. We know exactly how to build decks that thrive in Swansea's coastal environment.
Rust-Proof Fixings and Hardware
Living near the sea means salt air can rust normal screws and bolts. We use special stainless steel fixings that won't rust or corrode. All our brackets and connectors have thick protective coatings. This means your deck stays strong for decades.
Wind and Weather Protection
Swansea gets strong coastal winds and changing temperatures. We design decks to handle these conditions safely. We add expansion joints so the deck can move without cracking. We also seal all wood ends to stop water getting in and causing damage.
Smart Drainage Solutions
Water is the biggest enemy of any deck. We build in proper drainage from the start. This includes channels to carry water away and keeping the deck high enough off the ground for air to flow underneath. Good drainage means your deck lasts much longer.
Popular Decking Features and Enhancements
Make your deck more useful and beautiful with smart add-ons. These popular features help you get more from your outdoor space. From built-in seating to safety features, we can customize your deck to fit your lifestyle.
Popular Deck Enhancements
• Built-in Seating- We can build benches right into your deck design. These save space and often include hidden storage underneath for cushions, toys, or garden tools. Perfect for smaller gardens where every inch counts.
• Glass Balustrades- Clear glass panels let you enjoy Swansea's beautiful coastal views without blocking them. They also protect you from wind while you relax on your deck. Much better than wooden railings that block your view.
• Multi-level Designs- If your garden slopes, we can create stepped deck areas at different heights. This makes the most of awkward spaces and creates interesting outdoor rooms for different activities.
• Integrated Planters- Built-in planters look much neater than pots scattered around your deck. We build in proper drainage so your plants stay healthy and water doesn't damage the deck structure.
Safety and Practical Features
• Anti-slip Surfaces- We can add grooves or texture to deck boards to make them safer when wet. This is especially important in Swansea where we get plenty of rain. Prevents slips and falls, giving you peace of mind.
• Safety Handrails- If your deck is raised off the ground, you'll need handrails for safety. We build these to meet all safety regulations while making sure they look great and match your deck design.
• Pergola Preparation- Planning to add a pergola or gazebo
later? We can strengthen the deck structure and add fixing points now. Much easier than trying to add them afterwards.
