Decking — costs, materials and build
- How much does decking cost in Devon in 2026?
- Composite decking installation costs approximately £150–£250 per square metre (materials and labour). Timber is typically £100–£175 per m². PVC is similar to composite. Prices depend on board grade, site access, subframe complexity, balustrades and skirting. A free, no-obligation quote is provided after the on-site survey.
- What decking materials do you use?
- Composite, PVC and timber. Composite and PVC are low-maintenance, resist rot and fading and last longer; timber offers a classic natural finish. The best option for your space is recommended at the free survey.
- Is composite or timber decking better?
- Composite and PVC need very little upkeep and are ideal for coastal and high-traffic areas. Timber costs less upfront and looks natural but needs regular treatment. Precision Decking advises per project and budget.
- How long does composite decking last?
- Quality composite decking typically lasts 25–30 years with minimal maintenance. Precision Decking backs its composite and PVC installations with up to a 15-year guarantee.
- Is composite decking slippery when wet?
- Modern composite boards have textured, embossed surfaces designed for slip resistance even in wet conditions — safer than smooth timber in coastal or frequently wet South West gardens.
- Can you build decking on a slope or uneven ground?
- Yes. Sloping and uneven sites are a speciality — tiered staircases, raised platforms and walkways are built with full structural integrity for safe, attractive access.
- Do you install glass balustrades and skirting?
- Yes. Glass balustrades maximise views while keeping decks safe, and precision-fit skirting gives a clean, architectural finish. Both feature heavily in coastal and holiday-home projects.
- Is the decking low maintenance?
- Composite and PVC decking is designed to be low maintenance — typically just an occasional clean — with no annual staining or sealing required, unlike timber.
- What colours is composite decking available in?
- A range including charcoal, anthracite grey, light grey, sand, teak and wood-effect finishes. Specific board ranges and colour options are discussed and sampled at the free site survey.
- Can decking be built around a hot tub?
- Yes. Precision Decking specialises in integrated hot tub platforms — the decking and structural framing are designed together to safely support and surround the tub, creating a complete spa environment.
Garden rooms, pergolas & hot tubs
- Do you build garden rooms?
- Yes. Precision Decking designs and builds bespoke garden rooms and studios — architectural outdoor spaces tailored to each garden and use, from home offices to relaxation spaces and gyms.
- How much does a garden room cost?
- Garden rooms from Precision Decking start from approximately £20,000, depending on size, specification and finish. An exact quote is provided after a free site survey.
- Do you install hot tubs?
- Yes — full hot tub supply and installation, including the integrated structural framing and decking needed to support and surround the tub safely.
- Do you build pergolas and privacy screens?
- Yes. Custom timber pergolas and privacy screens are built to create secluded, sheltered outdoor living and spa areas, often paired with hot tubs and decking.
- Do you install artificial lawns?
- Yes. Premium artificial turf is installed for low-maintenance, year-round green space, frequently combined with decking projects.

- A founding partner visits your property, assesses the space, ground conditions, access and your design brief. They advise on materials, layout and finish options for your budget, then follow up with a detailed quote. No charge. No obligation.
- How long does installation take?
- It depends on size, materials and site conditions. A typical domestic deck takes a few days; larger or commercial projects take longer. A precise timeline is confirmed with your quote.
