Do I need planning permission for a raised deck in Leicester?

Raised decks over 300mm from ground level may require planning permission depending on their proximity to boundaries and the property. We advise on this during the survey and can assist with applications if needed.

How high can a raised deck be built?

We build raised decks from 300mm up to 2m+ high where ground levels require it. Structural calculations are provided for all decks over 600mm and handrails are included where required for safety.

How long does raised decking take to build?

A standard raised deck takes 3–7 days depending on size, height and complexity. Adding balustrades, stairs or integrated lighting will add time to the build.

Is composite or timber better for a raised deck?

Composite boards require almost no maintenance — no annual oiling or staining needed. Hardwood looks stunning but needs annual oiling to maintain its colour. Softwood is the most economical but requires more regular treatment.

Can a raised deck be built over a sloped garden?

Yes — this is exactly what raised decking is designed for. We use adjustable pedestals or purpose-built timber subframes to create a perfectly level deck surface regardless of the ground slope underneath.

What warranty do you offer on raised decking?

We offer a 2-year workmanship guarantee on all decking installations. Composite board products typically carry a manufacturer warranty of 20–25 years on the boards themselves.
