Just beautiful outdoor living space you can enjoy year after year.

Composite decking projects in Exeter typically complete in 3-7 days. Small decks (under 15m²) take around 3-4 days, whilst larger decks with multiple levels require 5-7 days. We provide clear timelines and deliver on schedule.
Most composite decking installations in Exeter fall under permitted development rights and don't require planning permission if they're less than 30cm above ground level. However, building regulations may apply for raised decks. We handle all necessary applications to Exeter City Council and ensure your decking meets current standards.
Quality composite decking typically adds 5-10% to Exeter property values. Low-maintenance outdoor living spaces are highly desirable in Exeter's property market and provide excellent return on investment whilst enhancing your lifestyle.
Whilst timber decking has lower upfront costs, composite decking saves money long-term through minimal maintenance. No annual staining or treating means lower lifetime costs. Composite also lasts 25+ years versus 10-15 years for timber, making it excellent value for Exeter homeowners.
