As the leading decking installers in Bournemouth, we can ensure your back yard or garden is fitted with beautiful, durable decking that enables you to make the most of sunny afternoons, giving you a place to relax alone, or entertain guests.

For some of our clients, getting decking is a new thing. But for others, it is a matter of replacing existing decking that has seen better days. The question is, if you are in the latter category, does your decking need replacing altogether, or can it be renewed?

There are certainly cases when decking simply needs cleaning up, or damage can be fixed, so that you don’t need to replace it entirely:

  • Applying decking stain can revive the appearance
  • Basic repair kits and sandpaper can be used to fix scratches
  • Individual boards can be replaced when you have composite decking
  • Scrubbing and pressure washing can help to remove dirt and moss
  • Work to improve airflow and drainage can reduce moisture and prevent rot

When Is It Too Late To Fix Existing Decking?

However, in many cases rot has set in, which means your decking will be structurally weaker and could become unsafe as well as unsightly.

This may not be your fault; people often move to a new home and find that there is existing decking in place that has not been maintained well enough.

Alternatively, it may be that the wrong materials were chosen when the decking was installed. For example, locations that get a lot of direct sunlight benefit from strong UV-resistant coatings and materials. Other surfaces can fade badly in the sun.  

Prime reasons to replace decking include:

  • Extensive rotting
  • Warping
  • Splintering

Often, the point of no return is when it would cost more money (and take up too much time) to maintain and repair the existing decking than to replace it.

If you need new decking installed, we can provide you with a fast, efficient and professional service at a fair price, ensuring you have a beautiful new product in place that should last you for many years to come.
