What I Build

Services.

Three core services — designed and built from scratch, no subcontractors, no shortcuts. Every job starts with a conversation and ends with a walkthrough.

01 / TIMBER

DECKING

A well-built deck changes how you use your garden — properly. Whether you want a simple ground-level platform or a raised deck with balustrade and steps, I design around how you actually want to use the space, then build it to last.

Timber or composite, I'll help you choose the right material for your garden, your budget, and how much maintenance you want to do in five years' time.

02 / BOUNDARY

FENCING

A fence does a job — privacy, security, boundary definition, weather protection. It also needs to still be standing and looking right in ten years. That means correct post depth, proper treatment, and materials chosen for your specific exposure.

No shortcuts on fixings, no cheap posts that rot in three years.

GARDEN TIMBER

Not everything fits a catalogue. Raised beds built around your exact garden layout. A shed designed for how you actually use it. A pergola sized to your space, not the nearest standard option.

If you've got a specific idea — or just a problem you need solved — get in touch. Most of the best jobs I've done started with a conversation and a rough sketch.

Why Choose
Timber Decking?

Timber is the traditional choice for good reason. When it's the right species, properly treated and correctly installed, a timber deck performs beautifully for fifteen years or more — and it looks like what it is: a natural material that belongs in a garden.

The case for timber

  • Lower upfront cost — typically 30–50% less than premium composite
  • Natural look and feel — warm underfoot, ages with character
  • Easy to repair — individual boards can be replaced if damaged
  • Sustainably sourced — all timber from FSC-certified merchants

Who Timber Suits

Homeowners who want a natural aesthetic, are comfortable with periodic oiling or treatment (every couple of years), and want to keep upfront costs down without sacrificing quality.

I'll always tell you honestly which material suits your specific situation — not whichever margin is higher.

Why Choose
Composite Decking?

Composite decking has come a long way. Done right, it's a serious long-term investment — near-zero maintenance, 25-year warranties, and no greying or splitting. The quality end of the market is a different thing entirely from those early plasticky products.

The case for composite

  • Near zero maintenance — no oiling, no treating. Wash it down occasionally.
  • 25-year warranties — quality boards genuinely deliver on them
  • Consistent colour — doesn't grey, silver or fade the way untreated timber does
  • Slip resistance — textured surfaces perform better in wet British conditions

My Preferred Choice

Millboard

Moulded from real hardwood, not extruded — so they look genuinely like timber, not like decking trying to look like timber. They hold up, they look right, and I've never had a problem with them.

Who Composite Suits

Anyone who wants a premium, low-maintenance result and is prepared to spend more upfront. Particularly good for families, rental properties, or anyone who wants it done once and done properly.

Sourcing & Standards

Responsibly Sourced.
Properly Built.

Every piece of timber I use is sourced from FSC-certified merchants — the Forest Stewardship Council standard that guarantees the wood comes from responsibly managed forests. No illegal logging, no habitat destruction, no greenwashing.

Beyond sourcing, building things properly is itself the sustainable choice. A deck or fence built correctly lasts fifteen to twenty years. A cheap job that fails in five means double the material use, double the waste, double the cost to you.

Built right the first time is the greenest thing I can do.

How It Works

Five steps.
No surprises.

Step One

First conversation

Call or WhatsApp to talk through your project. No hard sell, no obligation — just a straightforward chat about what you have in mind and whether I'm the right person for the job.

Step Two

Site visit & design

I come to your garden, take measurements, and talk through the design with you in person. We finalise exactly what you want — timber or composite, dimensions, style, finish.

Step Three

Your quote

You get a detailed, honest quote. The quote details all work to be carried out and includes the payment structure.

Step Four

The build

I arrive when I say I will, keep the site clean, and keep you updated throughout. If anything comes up mid-job, I talk to you directly — not around you.

Step Five

Final walkthrough

Before I leave, we walk the finished job together. You're satisfied with every detail, or we sort it on the spot. That's the standard, every time.
