Timber Decking
Timber decking is an essential part of your outdoor space, and it is a venue where you can relax with your family and visitors. Depending on your budgets and styles, we can design and install hardwood and softwood decks for your small and large scale projects. Although timber decking is natural, it can crack and fade if not properly maintained. Our deck builders can design and construct floors that are tailored to your needs. We have a variety of timbers, such as merbau timber and spotted gum, and you can make your choice based on your preference.
You can build a timber decking from different types of woods, such as cedar or redwood. If you think of giving your deck a unique appearance, you can choose an appropriate finishing option. With our vast experience, we can help you select the right wood and finishing options for your decks. We install all sorts of timber, such as softwood, hardwood, and composites.
Wooden decking is an affordable floor option for your home. However, the cost of wooden decking varies from timber to timber. Our deck builders are conversant with the cost of different woods. Although decking installation is one way of enhancing your home’s curb appeal, sometimes, it is challenging to build a deck from scratch to finish.
Hardwood is one of the most popular decking materials, and some of its commonly used species include blackbut, spotted gum, and merbau. Almost all types of hardwood are long-lasting, and their longevity is 25-30 years. Treated pine decking is one of the best materials used in decking, and it can last up to thirty years. However, its lifespan depends on whether it touches the ground, type of treatment, and poles’ thickness. At Sunderland Decking Co, we are adept at constructing deck from hardwoods and softwoods.
Due to their natural look, timber decks are attractive, hence suitable for your outdoor floor. A timber deck can also be stained in various colours and finished with different styles. Our deck specialists are adept at painting and staining decks to yield seamless results. Wooden decking is the most affordable decking option as compared to concrete and composite decking. However, the cost of wooden decks varies across timbers. For example, pressure-treated woods are the cheapest in terms of material cost. Low labour costs characterises timber decks because they are easy to cut and shape. At Sunderland Decking Co, we offer cost-effective services that are tailored to fit your styles and budgets.
Great service from the start. We enquired to get a new timber deck installed over our old paving, and we had a quote within 2 days and booked in the following week. Pricing was competitive and they were very professional and transparent throughout.

Composite Decking
Composite decking is one of the most popular flooring materials in Sunderland, UK. At Sunderland Decking Co, we are conversant with decking design and decking construction, and we guarantee to provide services that exceed your expectations. Composites resemble natural wood and don’t require maintenance. The composites don’t rot even if they are subjected to water or dampness. Before choosing a composite deck for your outdoor space, we will advise you on the right option based on your styles.
Composite decking is made from recycled materials, such as wood and plastics. Based on the composition of their materials, composites are eco-friendly and resistant to rots. Our deck builder can supply and construct decks that are within your budgets and styles.
Composite decking is a bit expensive, and it costs between 50% – 100% above the regular timber. We procure cost-effective composites from suppliers and construct affordable decks for you. Whether you have a small or large scale project, you can contact us today for a free quote. We are experts in decking design and decking construction.
Because of their prolonged exposure to weather elements, composite decks fade over time and lose their original colours. Composites floors are prone to severe scratches that are difficult to repair. Our deck contractor will help you replace your composite deck if you feel worn-out beyond repair.

Decking FAQ
How do you remove stains and discolouration from a timber deck?
Discolouration is usually caused by mold, and it usually occurs in composite decks. A deck is prone to discolouration if it stays in shaded areas or wet throughout the day. A black spot on a wooden deck can be removed by using a mild cleanser. On a composite deck, use a soft bristle brush, soap, and warm water to clean off any mold.
How do you prevent slippery decking?
Mold can make your deck more slippery. After the removal of mildew, apply a water-repellent stain and allow it to dry for at least two days. If your deck is continuously prone to slippery areas, you may apply an anti-slip decking product.
How Much Does Decking Cost?
An average decking project can cost anywhere from £1,000-2,000 and normally takes 2-3 days to finish. This is dependant on the materials and size of the area being constructed. The most popular types of decking are either pre-treated softwood or the higher priced option of hardwood . For softwood, an area of around 15m2 would would be approx £1,000 whereas the hardwood deck could be around £2,000 for the same size deck.
How do you fix warped decking?
Warping is a popular wooden problem that occurs if the deck is not weather-treated appropriately. If you come across a warped board, remove it from the deck and replace it with a new plank of wood.
How do you fix deck scratches?
Composite decks are susceptible to scratches, especially from a moving outdoor object. If you have a noticeable scratch, use a soldering iron to even the scratch out and let it blend with other parts of the deck. However, if you notice a considerable scratch, you may replace the entire board.
